Yahtzee reviews Spore

http://www.escapistmagazine.com/vide...tion/218-Spore

Yeah, he pretty much hits it on the head.

He always does, usually.

I haven't seen this one yet, I believe.

"so if all you're after it's some 3D art program for 8 year old spore it's for you, but if you are holding out for a real game, then you get to eat shit"

I think it's the most objective review of spore I've ever heard, seriously

"So can his new game, Spore, possibly live up to that legacy? In short: No. In long: Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooo"

I thought I'd just try to be cool by typing my favorite quote from that.

Actually to me Yahtzee sounded extremely bias. It seemed he was expecting something along the lines of The Sims, like most people who for some reason had crazy expectations for the game, and didn't get exactly what they imagined. Sure the game did not live up the hype it generated, but I sure had fun playing through the beginning stages of the game and the space age was the best part. Is it a ground breaking evolution in gaming.... no, but the game itself is not as bad as I think Yahtzee makes it out to be.

Then again, like Angry Video Game Nerd, he rarely ever praises a game because that would be boring. You get more hits when you point out the fallacies of a game and do it a hilarious way at the same time. I really don't trust any one reviewer and always take in serious number of reviews before making any time of decision, and Yahtzee is not excluded from that.

But that is just my opinion :)

no, he and most people were expecting this



in turn, we received a dumbed down game that could be easily be mistaken for a kindergarten game aimed at 3 year old kids, so no, I don't think he is biased at all, this spore it's just a HUGE shade of what was supposed to be, HUGE man, HUUUUUUUUUUGEEEEE shade

Space stage was fun in the beginning until you learned you can't defeat your final enemy, which is the Grox empire who owns about 600 planets -.-

I personally enjoyed Spore. And you know Will. How many expansion packs were released for each individual Sims game? Do you honestly believe they won't be releasing expansion packs for Spore with new parts, functions, and gameplay?

Spore is a great game.
