Spore - Who is getting it?

[Ja'chyra]

It's out tomorrow here.

Just checked, supposedly been out since monday here.

Downloading now, even though I have some reservations - Spore is probably a polished product and a fine technological achievement, but I'm guessing it's a little shallow gameplay-wise. We'll see.

It will be very interesting to observe the ripple effects of Spore, however. It sounds like a great entry-level game with interesting social networking features, likely to pull lots of new people into the gaming hobby. I'm also taking bets on just how soon the radical religious groups and figures will declare Spore the epitome of unholy for spreading the theory of evolution. And penis monsters.

Don't mention penis monsters or my other half will want to play

So any high or low points from the lucky ones who have it already?

[lars573]

Doesn't look very interesting. Plus you need a net connection to play. Easy deal breaker.

I'll never get it precisely because of SecuROM.
