So I picked up Spore the day it came out, but I work a ton and go to school now.. so I didn't get to play it much until a few days ago. It took me a little while to get through the spore, creature, and tribal stages. But man I BOOMED through the Civilization stage, and it was actually decently fun. The Space Stage is pretty hard... and the game is starting to lose my interest here... but I'll give the game some more play I guess.

I feel this game would be a TON better if they focused more on the stages. The Civilization stage has SOOOOOOOOOO much potiental, the tribal stage too. I feel like they spent way too much time and effort on the space stage, which I can see because it's the final stage... but the Civ & Tribal stages are way more fun.

I'm also on Ebay right now bidding on Mass Effect & Battlefield: Bad Company. I'm winning 2 bids for Battlefield and 1 bid for Mass Effect. I really wanna get Mass Effect and Battlefield would be a nice addition.. hopefully I don't win both Battlefields... rofl.
