Spore - Who is getting it?

[Navaros]

I've been reading a lot of end-user impressions of Spore and the consensus seems to be that it's an incredibly simplistic, repetitive, bare-boned game that can be blown through in a few hours easily. And also one that is marginally entertaining for a few hours, and that's about it. Many end users seem to have said it is suitable for ages 10 and under only.

IMO the 3 install limit is a total scam and should be - and possibly already is (needs to be court challenged) - illegal. That alone is a deal-breaker IMO.

The professional reviews giving it ridiculously high acclaim are IMO bought and paid for just like all other alleged AAA titles which always receive ridiculously high scores no matter how crap of a game they actually are. It infuriates me to see the 'professionals' in the game industry continue to perpetuate this shady trend and thus mislead innocent consumers.
