Are you going to be buying Spore?

As someone's who's had a chance to play it, it's really nowhere near as good as it's hyped to be. Game breakdown: Cell Stage 30 min - 1hr max. A lot of fun, but too short. Needs more parts, more DNA points, and more to do. Creature stage 30 min - 2 hrs max. Constant attacks by Epic nearly unkillable creatures. Creatures are all congregate around the nest, there's no wandering hunting for something. Find a nest you have stuff to kill or befirend. If you're a carnivore, it's nearly impossible to get to the point where you're anything but aggressive. Stuck into a role of either herbivore/carnivore/omnivore as decided by the cell stage. Even though every OTHER part of the body can be moded at this time. Tribal Stage 30 mins - 1 hr max. A JOKE! The stage was lame, simply and just too easy. You either crush everything with an army, or you woo them with instruments. No matter what way you go it's easy. Only challenge is keeping your food up. Civ stage - 1-2 hrs Play any of the civlization games, or the age or empire games. Now limit yourself to 3 kinds of boats, 3 kinds of tanks, and 3 kinds of planes. There's the civ stage. You get a set of religious weapons, which can whoo low moral cities to your side, a war side, to crush cities, and a tradeer set that lets you buy cities. Your starting city type is decided by how you played Tribal stage. Space stage - Endless. The real goal is to reach the center of the universe. But you need to worry about bio disasters, space pirated, and warring neighbors. Not to mention the uberpowerful Groxes.
