Customer Rating:
Summary: Good Game, but not quite for all.
Comment: Very much a good game for the creative-type person. Over-land controls on tribal and civiliation maps are a bit hard to work with. It is a very different type of game with a good potential for replay value.
Customer Rating:
Summary: An instant favorite
Comment: My 10-year-old received Spore for her birthday and became instantly hooked. It allows her to use her creativity, as well as indulge her love of science. She had no problem learning how to use the software and was able to start making creatures right away.

Summary: Just plain fun for kids and adults
Comment: My 10-year-old daughter bought this with her own funds about 6 weeks ago for use on a MacBook. SInce then we've had great fun creating creatures, both images of our pets and fantastic fictional animals. We have had none of the issues reported by other users, perhaps because our computer is new and runs OSX 10.5.
Fun game: one person creates a creature that looks like a specific pet or other known animal, and everyone else guesses who it is. We've done all the dogs in the house, plus the lizard, newts, rabbits and salamanders. We're moving on to neighborhood pets next.
I've decided to buy Spore, and look forward to importing our creatures into that game.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Lackluster and problematic
Comment: My kids were really excited by the splashy advertising in the lead up to the full Spore. They decided to buy the game. They were really excited about it, for a day, but since then it has languished unused.
Besides that, we faced several installation issues. The game wouldn't run at all because of some interference with EA's download manager. After I uninstalled the download manager, it worked, but only arbitrarily on certain user accounts. Attempts to resolve the issue through customer support were initially supportive, but quickly devolved to the point where it was clear they weren't even reading my messages.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Decent game, BUT BEWARE DRM
Comment: First and foremost, THIS GAME HAS DRM.
What does this mean for you the consumer ? You are RENTING the game, you don't own the game.
As for gameplay, you can tell that the creators put a lot of time and effort into the creativity aspect of this game. It is quite enjoyable i found for the first few hours, however gameplay dulls after a bit of time(then again what game doesn't).
If i knew this game had DRM, i would not have bought it. Although the game is decent, with DRM it instantly loses it's replay value since you can only install it a few times.
If this game didn't have drm, i would have rated it 3 stars (as i did the fun aspect). Unfortantly this is not the case.
