I first read about it in some magazine years ago, and it was a little blurb about ten lines long about some conceptual game based on the movie "Powers of Ten"

been waiting for it since.

There's a torrent for the game.  3GB+    Apparently it's leaked?  Demonoid has it too.  Maybe it's the Australian version, I heard that was released early.  Anyways, enjoy!  :grin:

Wow it's been all day and no downloads.  Either you people suddenly have something against Spore or this forum isn't getting enough attention.  It's SPORE!

I would feel too guilty downloading it; plus I already pre-ordered it months ago.

I downloaded it, and if I like it enough I'll buy it.  I'm not sure if you can play online with this version anyways.

So good to see you, I've missed you so much.

Would this work on Mac OS X too, or just Windows?

End the Federal Reserve/audit the gold reserves at Fort Knox, abolish the IRS, end all wars and occupancies, stop the building of an empire that will inevitably fail, and cut all unconstitutional federal programs. Put the power back in the peoples' hands by ending this nanny-state.

I am so disappointed in this game.

It's just so.... shallow.

In the cell stage you just eat, avoid dying, and add body parts

In the creature state you just kill or make friends (doesn't seem to matter which) and add body parts

In the tribal stage you just kill or make friends, and add tools and bits of clothing

In the truly pathetic civilization stage you just kill or make friends (wow I can build three different buildings!)

I've just arrived at the space stage and my enthusiasm is really waning.  I expected a lot more depth from Maxis.  I've always loved their games, but this one is just plain weak.  I was hoping for some sort of virtual ecosystem or food chain, or something.  Instead there are a dozen or so 'species' that are nothing but static groups of 6-8 identical creatures that all stay in one spot.  All the creatures are roughly the same size and have no symbiotic relationships or interactions (unless it is you killing them or dancing for them).  I thought my planet might actually have some sort of unique environment with its own system of predators and prey.  But nope, it's just weird creature A over here, weird creature B over there, with nothing to distinguish them except their silly appearance and their random stats and bonuses.

And the throwaway Tribal and Civ stages aren't even worth talking about really.  Boooo!  Boooooo!  Maxis has failed.  :thumbdown:

fuck, i was about to buy this game too!
It was rated an 8.0 on gamespot!

So what you're saying is that spore isn't worthy, at all?

i'd say that seems to be the case.

whiskeyclone's review pretty much sums up the way i feel about it as well.

I had a lot of fun for one or two days, but then I realized there just isn't much to this game.  It's the depth and complexity of Maxis' games that has made me a fan, but this one is really lacking.  Not everyone agrees with me though, you might really like it.
