You did it, huh?

From the demo I played, I can't understand the purpose to the game.

I think the spent so much time and energy into the creature creation and the environment... they forgot to program an actual GAME in the game

I hope they come up with a plot for the expansion pack

I have these too

However, the last patch has turned the game into a crash-o-matic and I'm still waiting for a correction.

Spore. My kids love it. The son kills everything in sight, and the daughter creates cute creatures. Go figure...

My girlfriend is getting me the Mac version for Christmas, so i figured I'd acquaint myself with the basics of the game.

Aside from playing God, the game is kind of senseless IMHO...just like most of the Sim-series games (SimAnt, the SimCities, SimCopter, etc.) I've played (although I did enjoy SimAnt a whole lot). But, hey, there's room for potential.



I've also learned not to judge a game by it's demo version...otherwise I would've hated most of the DOOM series.

I have a funny feeling that my graphics card will melt all over my mother board. The game ever warned me that I was running an unsupported graphics card.

Oh well. It's fun.

Do you know the DVD is not OS-specific?

Yeah - it would help if some folks would explain what the **** they are talking about occasionally. Especially when starting a thread.

Obscure and clever are not the same thing, and it takes a good deal of talent to carry off "enigmatic". In that respect many people seem to have delusions of adequacy.

Pretty much everything you do for two days straight will get boring.
