[QUOTE="mrtauntaun, post: 4476850, member: 14429"] I totally agree. Spore was a colossal disappointment to me. The gameplay is too simplistic and each stage is is very basic, except for space. I really enjoyed created vehicles, planes and ships. Then, I use them for that one stage, never to be seen again. I can't have more than one kind. Then, after all that fun customizing my vehicles, you get to design a space ship. Except, even though it's bristling with guns, they're cosmetic only. Why such a shift? And space is just a micro-mangement nightmare. I can only have one ship? We're supposed to maintain a huge empire with one measly ship? You can rebuild it fast enough when I die, so why not just build more? I know you can, I see them whizzing by on the trade lanes I set up. And going from planet to planet to collect spice, find a seller and then sell it is tedious at best. Throw in all the eco-disasters and attacks from other empires (I know this was tweaked, but it's still annoying) and it's just too annoying to be fun. It's a shame, I've been looking forward to this game for so long now. As much as I love the creature stage, I make a creation, think of the space stage and say to myself 'whats the point'? I was done with this game after 3 days. Huge huge disapointment. [/QUOTE]
