My impression so far is that it's certainly a good game, but not a true classic. IGN rated Spore at 8.8, Gamespy rated it 4 1/2 stars along with their Editor's Choice award, but then Gamespot only rates it an 8.0.


Xiahou: I concur it does appear to be a bit shallow as well. Still, I admit I would probably buy it were it not for the game's copy protection.
