I will be doing each part separately because each part represents a piece of me and a piece of a game I enjoy. I also apologize for my choice of words in this review.
CELL STAGE (FLOW + GEOMETRY WARS)
This stage is fun and interesting. It has a nice little tone to it and it expands on Flow by adding more than one creature that can harm you. (It also adds a creature that can rape you.) It is unknown if this stage has a time-limit but I am questioning that myself because of a big guy behind me. It's usually a carnivore and it's usually taking up the size of the whole bloody screen. My single complaint is after you achieve enough experience points you can no longer gain any kind of points and then you limit yourself to what can be done within the creature stage when you first get out of the green slime.
CELL STAGE (HERB)
Being a herbivore adds a new level of difficulty to the game by limiting the amount of damage you can do to your enemies. Without a mouth that can harm others it becomes a challenge with a carnivore wants to take a bite out of you. Seriously.
CELL STAGE (MEAT)
Now for the fun part. Carnivore if you're the type of person that likes to bully others or likes to make emo kids slash their wrists this is for you. With your razor sharp mouth everything is a target but don't be fooled you aren't god and people can still kill you if you don't take your life seriously.
CELL STAGE (OMNI)
Put the Herb and Meat reviews together and then add a longer mouth that has a problem actually eating (It sucks...seriously) You suck out the life of an enemy or a plant and then you can leave it's deflated corpse for the rest of the single celled creatures.
CREATURE STAGE (World of Warcraft meets Fun)
The creature stage is one of my favorite parts of the game. This part takes world of warcraft and does something. It makes it fun. You level quickly and fight your way threw other creatures or befriend them. While this is useless following the tribe stage (most of them forget you or just start hating you). You gain points faster by befriending rather than eating. One of my complaints is while you have the standard style of defending yourself. Sometimes you run into godzilla god creature that picks you up and throws you halfway across the world.
CREATURE STAGE (Nice)
You gain points fast, everyone loves, and for those who don't run like hell. The End.
CREATURE STAGE (NAUGHTY)
I hate you all. NOM NOM NOM....NOM?
CREATURE STAGE (Multi-Personality Disorder)
Now this is a challenge since unlike Fable your creature has trouble deciding wether it wants to be good or evil. Seriously. Every little action determines a sudden shift to the good or evil alignment (Basically think Herb, Omni, and Carni) The challenge is staying neutral and I made it by a longshot. Since it appears here kill one creature pisses off every other one in a 10 mile radius. Very Challenging and if you have the patience to manage it on hard mode you got balls.
TRIBAL STAGE (STARCRAFT MEETS SIMCITY)
Now this is where things get fun and harder. You start off with a tribe of 4 or 5 Send a few to hunt for food (Yay RTS Aspect) and send others to hunt or start guarding your food supply. Since other tribes enjoy stealing your food and animals lack the ability to gather fruit. Food in this stage is used for placing buildings in your tribal city. Buildings include Healing Staffs, Fishing Spears, Gathering Canes, Musical Instruments, spears, axes, and torches. Each one has a different purpose, and you will need to trade each tool a few to gain the advantage over the other tribes.
TRIBAL STAGE (FRIENDLY AND GIFT GIVING)
This is the easier road. Giving gifts to other tribes makes them love you (Costs about 10 Food per gift) and After playing a song for them they will become your eternal buddies (Or until the next stage) My biggest complaint here is the focus on music makes it harder for you to focus on warfare and when raiders or animals come to steal your food. Your better off throwing rocks.
TRIBAL STAGE (BEING MEAN AND GREEN)
Being mean and a strong military force basically makes you the equivalent of America in the year 2008. Everyone will hate you and then you will have some people you have forced to like you. You will be cruel and horrible through the rest of the game if you keep this up. You will advance as a military power kill anyone who stands in your way. The biggest complaint about this point is that every time you plan an attack raiders decide to take your food and animals decide its time to attack and steal your food. Usually you will need every one of your characters in the tribe to mount a successful attack leaving your base defenseless. (Unless you're playing on easy)equivalent.
TRIBAL STAGE (NEUTRAL, THE CANADIAN EFFECT)
Combine Being mean and green with friendly and gift giving. Good that sums up being neutral in a heartbeat. No one will love you but no one will really hate you, and your allies will never help you in a fight EVER.
CIVILIZATION STAGE (Why hasn't Sid Meier sued yet?)
Now the fun begins you have a choice of acting either religious, economy, or military. Being a military power means you want to go to war with everyone, and you actually get half decent guns and weapons on your car,plane, and boat. Not a bad choice considering those giant monster creatures from the creature stage are back. Being Religious involves playing music to convert cities into a music loving group. While shouting random words in simlish. Being an economy means you show off as much bling bling as possible and buy everyone else out.
CIVILIZATION STAGE (CONVERT HEATHEN!)
Being a religious person means you don't like violence and if thats the case make sure you get as many cars as you can and then go to one city and click convert city. Congrats you are now converting the city, and on your path to enlightening the rest of the world. Mount up more instruments and prepare to convert the unbelievers.
CIVILIZATION STAGE (KILL EM ALL)
Being military means everyone will hate you even more You don't strive to take over every city you strive to destroy it and make sure no one gets in your way. Building tanks and planes will help here, however ships are a different story and can be used one or two ways. One use them as a shield send the ships to attack the city and let em die or mount a water attack. Fun but tiresome if the other cities began to attack back. You will have few allies.
CIVILIZATION STAGE (BLING BLING...YO)
First buy as many cars as you can. Second take over as much spice as you can. Third make trade route with other cities with all your cars. Fourth buy most of them. Fifth Once you get 48,000 Spore bucks press the instant win button.
SPACE STAGE (YOUR GALAXY SUCKS)
This is going to be fun. You're finally in space your spaceship..can do nothing. Thats my biggest complaint about this your spaceship is useless until you go threw a grand theft auto run and pick up style mission toppled with a confusing map. The spaceship does little much of anything and I can sum up the space stage in a few words. Look at the civilization stage. The end you either establish trade routes or kill everything in a pursuit to get to the center of the galaxy. One final complaint is that whenever your galaxy or creature tries to show off some self-esteem the aliens (err other creatures)? Scream and completely bash your sad race for thinking it self important or powerful.
FINAL THOUGHTS (FUN FUN)
Spore is a game if you're an indecisive prick that has to much time on their hands and doesn't want to pay the $15 for world of warcraft. This game takes the best aspects out of popular games and gives them its own unique style. Spore is an excellent game if you have time to kill, and if you have problems with no depth or lack of story. Make one yourself. It's that easy. People like to look at spore as its own game but everything on spore has been done before but never have they been combined into one. Spore is a ORPGRTSCIVFLASB (Online Role playing real time strategy civilization flash sand box game.
