Presentation 9.5: Surprisingly small load times help keep the atmosphere extremely immersive, and the simple, easily navigable menus make the potentially-confusing creation process a breeze.
Graphics 9.0: Although exaggerated and “cartoony”, and fairly low-tech by today’s standards, the game still looks very pretty and holds up well under extreme customisation.
Sound 8.5: A mostly ambient soundtrack (which is also customisable to an extent) and very nice sound effects, but the Alien jibberish can get annoying.
Gameplay 9.0: A steep learning curve may throw some people off, and the controls aren’t as sharp as they could be, but there is surprising depth beneath the surface of a simple looking game.
Lasting Appeal 10: One of the single most versatile games ever made, Spore’s potential is limited only your imagination. The different “paths” are simply icing on the cake.
It’s a pretty good review. Read some the picture comments, they’re funny.
It doesn’t belong there. That thread is no longer an information thread. It’s now a thread where you can find all of our Sporepedias, and our creations.
But could you change the title to something along the lines of 'Official Spore Review Thread'? That’d be a big help and would clean up any other Spore review topics, both mien and tapout’s. And then we could just post the reviews here.
