  • he keeps saying "splore"

  • get over yourselves its a good game

  • IS NOT UN HARDCORE FOR IGN COS THEY PLAY EASY!

  • I don't know what to say about spore. The game itself is passable because I am a casual gamer. But the DRM that EA fucking put in has been in my computer for 5 fucking months and I don't know how to get rid of it! Get it if it's for consoles or get a pirated copy without the DRM. DRM slows down your computer by alot. And it doesn't go away if you uninstall the game.

  • best idea, worse execution

  • @DeadKold But honestly, what more did you expect from EA? Instead of trying to fix the game up and improve on it, they forced Maxis to abandon the game in favour of games that people would most certainly be much better off playing.

  • sorry i meant there should be 5 layers of color and more.

  • spore missing the atomic and aquatic stage and the complexity meter should be longer.and thier should be 4 layers of color instead of 3.And as for all you hardcore gamers...shut up.

  • If you think it is easy, try hard mode!

  • I didn't know that ign changed their lightsaber collection.

  • Me get bored on spore me make lots of planets..."disappear"

  • spore was absolutely terrible, absolutely terrible

  • @warriorcats1010 your taste of games is terrible absloutley terrible, now go back to CoD 12 year old and before you say this is a baby game belive it or not but all the people that play spore are 13 or older

  • IGN stop caring about hardcore gamers so much. What about casual gamers who just like a game for what it is not how much blood and gore is in it. I think Spore beats Battlefield or CoD anyday because its CREATIVE and takes SKILL and IMAGINATION to make a wonderful creation or creature. I like CoD but you have to give Spore and casual gamers a chance to :)

  • @1legomaster

    >spore

    >skill AHAHAHAHAHAHA

    

  • i hate these reviews cause they don't give it a score!

    but... spore would get a 10 anyway ;)

  • I don't think this game is bad and I don't understand why people don't care for it I've played it many times and it's still fun

  • this game had so much potential but sadly it was wasted it needs to be more complex and now that will write had joined that think tank or whatever i have heard nothing from spore since then

  • It was fun the first 2-3 times, but it REALLY got repetetive... I don't think we'll ever see Spore 2 cause Will left EA if I'm not mistaken. Shame...

  • Maxis should make SPORE EVOULTION 2.0

    more complex better creating software tec

  • Lol the reviewer sounds like he is forced to review this :D

  • PLEASE! ANSWER MY QUESTION! I NEED TO KNOW!

  • i have creature creator would you guys recommend this?

  • @keyblader79 In short words, hell no. I found it way, way too simplistic. Just a bunch of shallow mini games. The last game, which is supposed to has the most depth, was just tedious. I was very, very disappointed after all the hype.

  • @keyblader79 ubbecykelkedja SPEAKS NONSENSE

  • @keyblader79 This game rules I love it

  • I see in the vid that the spaceship is using rocket boosters. When I add on the spaceship rocket boosters, when flying around nothing comes out. Can someone help.

  • It needs Orbital cannons for your planets but they are more expensive then uber turrets and fleets of smaller versions of your ship as well as a bit more depth to it.

  • @135polas1 You are the saddest nerd on the hole of the internet

  • spore had some boring parts in the game. but it was a cool idea

  • I always felt like the spore beta phase seemed much better than the ending game. Whatever happened to floral and hut customization? Living in the water? The aliens on the cover of the game far exceed the complexity limit, in the end I simply felt left out to dry by the game. They had the whole sex thing which was bound to be hilarious, but they replaced it with the stale dancing. And initially you could of played as a baby version of you creature. So many good ideas lost int he final project....

  • Can this run on a laptop

  • @Noblechief12345 i run it perfectly on a 2/3 year old mediocre sony vaio laptop.

  • @Noblechief12345 Yes, of course. It just depends what laptop you have. If you bought it recently it should run the game well, but if it's older than 2008 (when the game was released) you might want to look at your computers specifications. (in the start menu right-click computer and click properties)

    Then look at Spore minimum requirements, which you will probably find on Google.

  • IF U LIKE THIS COMMENT UR GONNA BE LUCKY UNTIL UR 80

    IF NOT U WILL BE STUCK WITH A DOUCHEBITCH FOREVER !!!!

  • God his voice is boring..

  • Spore is a great idea, but it got fucked in the ass by a giant throbbing cock called casuals.

  • if hardcore gamers dont like it, dont rate it like its a hardcore game? its not?

  • !!!!!!!!!!

  • I like what they originally showed better but still a good game.

  • spore is amazing

    

  • at 1:59 he says cars shits and planes

  • @MrLeeeeeman Ships.

  • spore is one of the blasphemic games due to its high evolution theries and that is why its awesome!

  • 1:00 exuse me but spore is completely singleplayer apart from darkspore,spore hero and spore creatures.

  • @needo2new I love Conviction. How Sam Waxes someone, then marks and executes 3 others right after. What's your gamertag, maybe we can play co-op sometime.

  • @needo2new How horrible. Why do you cruel youtube commentators say such mean things? All commentators on this site are identical. You're all teens, and jerks.

  • His voice is SO boring.

  • @needo2new GTFO TROLL

  • @needo2new And now your one of them

  • the 3rd person stage is the best for me!

  • Wow your voice is so boring

  • GO FUCK YOURSELF JASON OCAMPO

  • back when IGN was good...

  • @needo2new Thank you for summing that up.

  • @needo2new Then why the HELL are you watching the damn video if you hate the game so much!? Seriously, not to be a bitch here, but SHUT THE FUCK UP!

  • @needo2new There's an expansion where you can use your creations do do ... whatever you want, really! Spore: Galactic Adventures.

  • This game isn't bad.

    This game is designed for Sims fans or Sci Fi lovers.

    Not COD fanboys, wowheads, fallout fans etc etc etc

  • i think EA could make spore not a MSO, but a MMO. you could see other ships fly around, perhaps other peoples creatures in creature stage, all being controlled by the other players on the other end. maybe release an expansion pack that does that, and even though you could go online, you could set it to were you still play the mso,not the mmo. hell, they could do that for the sims! thumbs up if you think this is a good idea.

  • @97raven123 you have to send that to maxis!

  • @97raven123 its called darkspore look it up

  • @97raven123 Spore's engine wouldn't be enough to sustain that, because they already had to make animation designs for creatures that they don't even know what they look like, and I personally think it would be easy for some kid to trash your planets 24/7. Also taking into account that the worlds are made entirely up of other people's creations, I think it should stay the way it is now.

  • @astrophysics1997 id just like to see a new complexe spore game instead of dark spore

  • @flameheat1000 I more than agree with you.

  • @97raven123 It's made by Maxis, not EA. EA are the publishers.

  • they should have made cell to civ single player and space online hey the galaxy is petty big and the grox could be controlled by ea and when they are defeated restart the sever but make them stronger so not everyone would go and nuke them.

  • im not a casual gamer i have bad company 2, black ops, fallout 3/nv and many more.  I loved the space stage in spore one of my fav games of all time

  • he says other games can do what spore does, but better. what he doesn't od is mention what games those are... classic ign annoyingness ftw

  • Spore would be one of the best games if it'd be more complex

  • @1994Linander it is one of the best games already,just that it's not having publicity and merchandise.

  • @1994Linander yeah bu it is still really fun :)

  • this game is pretty fun but its just too childish. make a more mature version of this game and i think it'll be awesome!

  • @crazysim9 I see where your getting at, but if they made a more mature game dont you think less people would buy it?

  • @Jigsaw550 Wait until you see Darkspore. thats obviously a mature game

  • The guy sounds like he's got a blocked nose. It's freakin' annoying. >.<

  • I bought this when it came out and it said it only works on vista which i was super pissed about, does anyone know if they released any copies that work on windows 7?

  • @Spazzosity i play my spore on windows 7

    

  • @MrFish8888

    I play it on windows xp

  • @PensFan35 ok

  • @Spazzosity where did it says it only works with vista? i play it on windows vista and 7 =)

  • @Spazzosity I was able to play this game on XP

  • Spore needs a mode where you can select a stage, and a creature, and try to survive, against other players. It would make it a lot more advanced then "go around and friend a bunch of creatures so you can be a tribal guy" and would in all make it a better game. It also needs more weapons.

  • Should I buy this? Im afraid it will take my life from me, in a... good way.

    But answer me, should I :S ? <3

  • @wiggen18 its ok and not really addictive. i found it fun making overpowered looking creatures but it needs a place to interact with other players.

  • @wiggen18 it almost token my live away, no wories, it gets boring while playing it 24 hours a day... spore stays fun like 10 hours a day and after these you atomaticly go do something else. in the expansions of spore, it's looking difirent. you have to find a other game fun enought to stop play spore a few days...

  • @wiggen18 I got this game like 3 years ago when it came out, and its great so i suggest getting it. I'm getting back into it

  • @wiggen18 YES!

  • Spore is a cool game

    the only thing whats missing is: ONLINE MODE

  • @omarsonic9 it would be awesome if there was something like EVE in spore... at the normal comunications and flying and stuf....

  • No score? awesome

  • i used to love the 1st stage and 2nd stage and just fuck up all the other species and extinct them XD

  • the space stage was great n fun at the same time get a little annoying too... it would be great if other space-based rts games use d gameplay in spore's space stage as their main gameplay... imagine that sin of solar empire with terraform thing, actual colonization on planet surface, planet-destroying super weapons, genetic engineering of native creature, making contact or messed up with native inhabitant and all that...

  • i just wish you can terraform a whole home planet.

  • @happyblackie You can, you need to terraform a planet to T3, place a monolith, wait till one of the creatures has reached space stage (aprox. 15 minutes) and then conquer or buy the system and you'll (in most cases, not all) have an homeplanet :) I did this on 2 planets with Purple spice and it made me so much money, it was like I was using a money cheat xD every 5 minutes I could make 14 million from those 2 colonies :P

  • i just wish you can terraform a whole planet.

  • Stage 2 was the best IMO...

  • Spore is a great game

    But honestly, I'd much rather play the beta version of it

  • great game but they could have done way better on the civilization stage. at least make the weapons projectile type diffrent depending on the weapon equiped

  • I would give this game like an 8.9 out of 10...yeah, it has some flaws, but it is still an awesome game :)

  • very very fun more fun than the sims to me but it is too childish if it was mroe serous and difreent grahpics and that basicly if it was not for children then yeah it would get a 8 out of 10 for meah

  • @kris10ish , If it was more serious it will be way more boring! i mean , who wants to play a boring game...... but i agree with you when you said the graphics should be better.

    (B.T.W. i give this a 10 out of 10)

  • @MyEpicLetsPlays maybe becse i like mre complex things like i want a game were u experience it better llike as if you were evolving like civil but more alieny i do like this tho

  • Spore is a game that the player needs to make fun for themselves. just have fun in the editors and take your creature, vehicle, building, or planet into the universe. Galactic Adventures is fun for that.

  • I thought this games was an impressive game. I don't want anyone to tell me they don't like this game. It is not that I think it is the best game ever, I am tired of hearing people bitch about it. No more user comments. I do not like them.

  • I thought this game was very dissapointing

  • This game is pretty Amazing, but annoys the fuck outta me.

  • waaaay too simplified, this game utterly failed

  • i was so blown away by the 2005 demo video, then when i bought it in 2008 it was so watered down =\

  • Only if they released spore 2005 it would have been the greatest video game ever...*sigh*

  • @BridsonArts unfortunately the beta version had more glitches that a mid fifties supercomputer, and by the time Maxis was able to work out enough glitches to make spore remotely marketable, EA, the distributer, had convinced them to start aiming the game towards slightly younger players, removing much of the challenge and complexity.

  • This Game Is Most Fun In Stage 2 In My Opinion

  • Lucky for me I'm a hardcore gamer, that plays games like Civilization, Starcraft and Warcraft a lot! :D

  • Ha Ha people arguing about a game to people they dont even Know

  • the older version??!?! wtf r u talking bout???

  • Should i get this? I'm a hardcore gamer, but i play sims 3. It looks fun, and i want to know if it is really worth it.

  • @Thesefragus129 If you have a fast enough computer, then absolutely. This is one of my favorite games.

  • @Thesefragus129 i have spore and its a really fun game. the different ways of gaming are very fun to play with and customizing is the best part of the game. you can choose to be aggresive and evil or good natured or just neutral on each stage. although it is some what easy it is still fun. in the video it is a bit right that sometimes it gets boring with repetitive acts but in space mode there is alot of much more stuff you can do. i usually use cheats since it makes it much more amazing. 

  • 1:02 single player massive multiplayer online game??There is no such thing,if its single player it cant be multiplayer,and there is no multiplayer in spore,i hope he was joking

  • Older version of spore WAS MUCH BETTER!

  • @SunnyLovetts My Spore's been uninstalled cuz it makes my (Bad) laptop too slow. What's changed about it?

  • @schmoo1507 Look at the original tech demos of it. It had blood and physics. It looked very realistic, and extremely amazing. It looked awesome to play. This is just... rated E and cartoony. Then they turned it into turn based Pokemon EVOLUTION.

  • I hope we get spore 2...

  • I've played this game for hours and hours and it never gets old.

  • The older version of spore was better

  • @32sponge what do you mean the older version?

  • @jesusfreak2123 the 2005 version where it was more realistic and less cartoony.

  • @32sponge was it ever playable?

  • @jesusfreak2123 nope it was only seen in the 2005 GDC gameplay preview

  • @32sponge How do you know? Have you played it? The only thing the old game had was an underwater stage, blood and sex! And it didn't have that Spore-feel to it! You want a bloody Spore-game? Wait for DarkSpore in february.

  • @toneset I watched the GDC demo video and it seemed more realistic and made more sense rather than the new cartoon game ment for children that cant stand the sight of blood or violence so i would prefer the older game.

  • @32sponge First of all, it wasn't ment for children. It was ment for everyone! And it didn't have that charming Spore-fell to it. It's still a fun game, even though it isn't realistic.

  • @toneset True it is a fun game but it does not have the original feel of being realistic and i think it would be more enjoyable and do you realy think a pro gamer who's 17 will enjoy this?

  • @32sponge Yeah, I do! I know a lot of adults who like this game.

  • @toneset Realy even if they do ask them how much they like it or if they think its realistic

  • @32sponge They may not think it's realistic, but that doesn't mean the game isn't fun. I say we stop this conversation and both agree that Spore is a good game, but isn't that realistic.

  • @toneset Yeah it's fun not as fun as it could be btw way you started this comment space eating conversation.

  • @32sponge Yeah, I did, but thst doesn't mean I can't end it! ;-)

  • @toneset I don't realy care now can you cut it?

  • @32sponge Sure. Have a nice day!

  • @toneset You just want the last word dont you.

  • @32sponge How did you know that the older version WAS better? You haven't played it.

  • @Deroni76 dude watch gameplay videos of it the GDC's and such they show a way better game

  • @32sponge you mean ign?

  • @32sponge what is the old version?what was it like?could you or someone please tell me?thank you.

  • @32sponge How can you say that, if the BETA isn't even available.

  • its a nice game but it gets a bit easy right after the midway point of the creature stage but i gotta say messing with lower level lifeforms on space stage

    -never gets old

  • The penis monster maker!

  • Its not that bad of a game,youll just get bored of it quick..i got to space,and was bored after a while

  • @Azrael12078 Um,I wasnt board,niether were my friends,so dont force what u think

  • 80 1:24 the blue dude relly looks like the guy i made.. might be

  • they are just making money for their product. Its just computer software to help you know how video games are made!

  • yup!

  • I saw so many horrible reviews on amazon. Is it really that bad?

  • @chumaster90

    i don`t think so, people might get bored cause it`s a bit tricky, but i enjoyed it. you won`t find many better pc games out there

  • @TheNinwii 4words: Amnesia the Dark Descent

  • @TheNinwii I know i love god games like this and it was super cool because im a bit of a cartoonist so i made a few races of comic characters iv made its awesome

  • Darkspore...

    Spore+MMO=WIN

  • games a rip off, £30 if you but it from ea, i was expecting more like 15 since its years old

  • This review is stupid. Spore is a game for casual gamers. No shit. That's like me buying a burger and complaining about the burger because I don't like burgers. What is wrong with this reviewer? Fucking stupid Americans.

  • @BoxxyFan lol wow just cause an american has a different opinion on a game than u do he has to be stupid? lol I guess thats an austrailians logic for ya. oh well ignorance is bliss.

  • @Jay333 you really shouldn't bother explaining.Americans are fucking dumb

  • @Harisdoubled oh the irony.

    only in greece.

  • Comment removed

  • @Jay333 His name is BoxxyFan. Obvious troll.

  • @FandomRuck What's a troll?

  • Your voice makes me want to kill myself

  • All right thats my type of game. 1:11 SPORES.

  • If you want just the creature editor just buy the 10 buck Creature Creator and for a sampler try out the free trial (unlimited time limited creature parts but still fun)

  • I want the realistic, bloody, complex, and creative version of 2005. This is to watered down. Not that it's bad, it just can be so much better!
