Downloaded and installed SPORE on a Vista macine earlier today. The whole process took about 90 minutes. To be clear, SPORE is by far the best game that I have played in years.
The leveling, or “stages,” are incredibly well thought out. Just as you are getting bored, new stuff appears and then you level up. Even though the stages may have a simplistic game mechanic, such as the well reported PacMan-esque approach of the primordial soup, they are sufficiently interesting to keep you engaged.
Based on my game play so far, there are clearly VERY many ways to “skin the cat” -Â cooperative, collaborative, solo, death monger, etc. So far, I have been playing the death monger style, and it’s definitely fun. I would like to try some more collaboration, but everyone in the game is afrais of me… I wonder why?
Anyway, I strongly recommend that you take the 90 minutes and install SPORE. From everything that I can tell so far, it is well worth the effort and the money.
