With the amount of time they had to develop this game and even more to hype it.... i expected a LOT more.
Thats all that needs to be said

I thought that you would need to properly design the creature so it is fast and and a good hunter but all the limbs and parts have stats that control everything. So it doesn't really matter if you have a one legged freak creature if it has a "fast" leg attached.
They shouldn't have dumbed it down this much. Some parts were fun in the beginning but I got bored pretty quickly. Have you seen amazon.com? People have spammed spore with 1 star ratings.
That's solely because of the draconian DRM. And I think EA has gotten the message, those fucking bastards.Originally Posted by Coffeemachine
Seriously-- fuck EA to fucking hell. The only reason why it develops good games sometimes is because it gives its subsidiaries that it bought out some degree of independence, but whatever it sinks its tentacles into always comes out worse in the end.

If you don't like them, then get the fuck out.
My general assessment of Maxis games as of recent:
I remember trying The Sims. It was okay for a bit, but then I realized how annoying it was that shitting took hours and post-shitting you really couldn't do much anyway. The few expansions I brought did not salvage the fact that it sucked.
The Sims II did better and shitting was much faster. Still boring and generic after a bit. Its atmosphere was worse though. Classical music and likewise style > techno and modern.
Spore sucks. The second stage was so horribly tedious (as was the first) that I just gave up. My suspicions that it would be repetitive were confirmed.
With this line, I'm going to assume The Sims III will also suck.
Also, The Sims Online (back when it was beta and free) sucked too.
I'm generally critical of sandbox games since a lot are labeled as such so the developers can make huge game worlds full of nothing.
