Spore - Who is getting it?

**pevergreen** · 09-06-2008, 05:27

Played about 20 hours so far.

Its not easy to pick it all up. The earlier stages are definately more fun, but space...man that is just crazy.

Feel pity for me, i payed $120. Special Edition though.

Depending on how you feel, you should probably wait for the price to drop down a bit.

The only online stuff I've noticed is that if you choose to link your account with that game, the stuff you make transfers between computers. Im on 64 kb/ps and its playing fine.

Each of the 5 stages is like an entirely new game, its quite good.

I'll probably get it when i have the money to buy it...after i buy a new PSU and fix my computer...after i raise the money to buy aforementioned PSU...which will happen sometime in between next year and before the Sun dies...

What's extra in the Special Edition?

The Special Edition contains a Making of Spore DVD, How to Make a Better Being DVD, The Art of Spore mini-book, a poster and a 100-page "Galactic" handbook.

Wow, the views here make me think I won't get it then. Three install limit!? Holy crap that's a deal breaker, plus SecuROM, and phone-home system. Nu-uh, not my money they'll be getting.

More price I'd say.

Not getting it, because I won't be able to get it thanks to the money... and it doesn't interests me.

Something else I've wondered about... given the HUGE scope of the game, they haven't exactly left themselves much room for an expansion pack

The Sims 2 has 18 expansion packs/add-ons, imagine what they could do with Spore.

A sandbox game can't be very successful if the beginning is fun, and the end-game isn't.

Its not a sand box game, its a very thin line of sand game.

I had no idea about copy protection used in Spore, read about it here first, and then checked around.......now I'm too turned off to buy it, which is a pity as I really wanted to try this game.

Edit : My thanks to Rythmic and Caius for the info.
