IMPORTANT:
Gamespot gave this a 8.0 out of 10.0 (if you don't know about GS, an 8 is a rather bad note. In the site they say it's "great", and it actualy really is good, but compared to most games reviewed, that is very inferior.) Example of games that got more then 9.0 in current platforms: Halo 3, GTA IV, Super Mario Galaxy, Super Smash Bros Brawl, Metal Gear 4: Guns of Patriots, Okami Wii, No More Heroes, Gears of War, Forza Motorsport, Resident Evil 4Wii Edition, WarioWare: Smooth Moves, Assasin's Creed, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, Rock Band, Burnout Paradise, Ninja Gaiden Sigma, Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas and a lot more... Without counting games that got more then 8, wich no doubt are more then 50 (remembering that gamespot grades can be parted: like 8.2 and 8.7). Lots of people got surprised with the 8 grade... But not me. I understood perfectly what happened. People just put too much expectations in this game, and extremely overrated it. People were treating it like the market's "revolution" and "best game of all time"... And it was obvious this wouldn't be the best game of all time, as good as it is. So after such high expectations, picking the game up felt pretty bland, and the person playing the game got easily bored and telling themselves "this is what I suffered waiting for 4 years?!". I'm not saying the game is bad, contrary, it's really good, I bought it and I'm playing it a lot (I highly recomend buying it). But as good as it is, it was extremely overrated at max. Sadly, the result was this.

  • i think the only ...

    i think the only way for spore to reach a ten/ten would have to be an expansion pack that lets you have more gameplay and, as spirit said, underwater, and underground. that would allow a whole new set of creatures that could be made, as well as underwater vehicles, and airtight buildings. It should be that an EXPANSION PACK. do you hear me MAXIS and EA and WILL WRIGHT????

  • i have a suggestion ...

    i have a suggestion of 2 changes that would make the game reach 10/10. 1st, they should expand on the water features, underwater cities and race's, vehichles and weapons. 2nd, more than anything the stages should be meshed, letting you walk around yours and others cities and tribes as 1 creature, and letting you leave the space ship at space age.. basically throughout the game you should keep the 1st creature that came from the ooze and that should be like an avatar.

    DUDE see the release DATES. I bought it on the 4th in HOLLAND (europe).

    Maybe the game is a bit overrated but it still has alot of possibilities. And it would be even more fun if there's gonna be atleast 1 expansion.
