I tried to get it, but no good... Some people I know told me that it was over-hyped and that the game was not very good.

I played it a little at my friends place...Didn't go for the online portion (don't have a clue what it does) but it seems like a very interesting game...I really like the whole concept
 Might try to get it myself...

QUOTE (blindwillie @ Sep 15 2008, 10:32 AM)  Overhyped. The evolution thing I was expecting has been reduced and how you design your creature have no impact now. It's purely cosmetic. From my expectations this game was dissapointing. The space phase might still be fun if you put some time into it, I'm not sure yet if I will though. Since this is a EA game it contains SecuROM, a copy protection mechanism. You can install the game three times then you have to call EA and convince them you have a legit reason for needing more installs. No guarantee you will get more. You register an account to play online. You can only have one player account and that account is tied to your registered install on one computer. That is, you cant play your game, log out and your spouse logs in on her account. Or go to a friend and log in on your account. This is contradicting the manual wich clearly states "You may have multiple Spore accounts for each installation of the game." EA blames this to a "misprint" in the manual. To me this is a contract breach. It's a shame greed spoils a promising game. I played the game at my friends some more..Well its fun , but not to its full potential...I find the evolution thing like building up skill (strength , combat impact etc) but it could have been more detailed.. So this thing with secuROM , it means that you can install the game three times and than you can't ? What happens if you need to delete the game on the same computer and install it later on ? Do you have only 3 times ? How do they detect such thing...Its really bothering  Especially if you have more computers in a same house

It's sad that they over-hyped it so much, 'cause now it won't live up to the expectations so easily, no matter who great the game is. Of course people will be disappointed if the game is being hyped for years as the "GREATEST GAME EVAH!-blaa blaa blaa, and then when it comes out, it's great but it doesn't blow peoples minds.

Do you have only 3 times ? How do they detect such thing...Its really bothering Especially if you have more computers in a same house Yes sure. The game itself is as fun as any game. It just doesn't live up to what I expected it to be. It's just like any other game. Nothing new. Yes, that's what it means. It ties your DVD key to your registration. Just like Windows it calculates a checksum based on your computer configuration and ties that checksum to your registration and validates your DVD key and checksum online. That means that if you have two computers at home you want the game installed on and maybe a laptop to bring with you, or you spend some time somewhere else and want to install the game you quickly use up all your installations. There is no "unregister" functions. You can't uninstall the game and get an installation back. If wrong part of the computer crashes, one with enough significance in the calculation, or if you replace your computer, you need one more install. I don't know what happens if you block SecuROM from internet access or if you play offline. I think it have to validate every 10th day or the game will not start. You are also depending on EA's niceness to keep the validation servers running. Will they do that in 3 years? 5 years? Ironically pirated copies don't suffer from this and was leaked four days before launch. This upsets me of several reasons. We have bought every single release and addon for Sims and Sims 2, my wife loves them. I bought Black & White and I loved it. I bought Black & White 2 which came with SecuROM. Surprise surprise. SecuROM was uncompatible with my CD/DVD drives so B&W2 never ran on my comp. I had a loong mail conversation with EA and Lionhead, giving detailed information from logging and debugging, pinpointing exactly what was causing the problem. All I got was "Upgrade your soundcards driver, upgrade your video driver" and so on. Even though my logs clearly showed there was no way to upgrade anything more because there didn't exist any later versions of anything. The final answer politly told me to buy new hardware (because may playrig extreme didn't cut it?) and I politly told them do do something else. Now I have a B&W2 that I've never played. Then I decided to never again buy another EA game (my wife has her own will and still buy Sims stuff). I made an exception now because I really was looking forward to Spore and end up with this. Correction: Maybe "activation" is better wording than "installation". http://www.afterdawn.com/news/archive/15418.cfm http://www.afterdawn.com/news/archive/15407.cfm -------------------- Schecter C1 Hellraiser EMG 81/85, replaced with JB/Jazz (SH4/SH2n) w. coilsplit Schecter Revenger HB-105, replaced with EMG 81/85 Stratocaster Deluxe Players Noiseless Ibanez 2550z Blackstar HT5H, Blackheart BH5H w.

An update on this. EA feels the pressure (but they are still unlucky when thinking and can't get it right).
