Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Still can't stand the "new" corporate-induced logo sequence. Give me my old review openers, thank you very much.

Yeah the long "Nooooooooooooooooo" was really needed.

I didn't think the "nooooo" fit his particular style of humor (more of a Family Guy thing). It breaks up his normal rapid fire speaking style and after 2-3 seconds of that I'm thinking "ok, we get the joke, move on please".

I liked the rest of the review, but that part just doesn't fit his style.

I haven't even gotten to space yet and I am having fun. Then again, I tried to stay away from the hype as much as I could. I live with a bunch of other gamer nerds, so half the fun is interacting with each others creatures. I would imagine the game wouldn't be as fun without the nightly talk of how silly the others creatures where or how they killed them

I do think the merging of the single and muliplayer modes was kinda done well. The one thing I would wish for is a true multiplayer mode were you and your creation can go real time against another...holding out for an expansion for this (we all know Will LOVES expansions!)

But I can already say the creature and building creator are really awesome. Being a 3-d studio max hobbiest when it was in version 4.0, the modeling here is so easy and flexable it is amazing. There are some things which you wish you had more control over, but the ease in which most anything is created will apease all but the most artistic

Loved the "Noooo" part. The over-the-topness of it was the point, n'est-ce pas?

hah, '...would make a furious Charles Darwin eat his own beard.'

Never liked the Sims all that much, but I'm all over Spore. And I don't see how he figures it's hard to be an herbivore. I've brought carnivores and herbivores into space from the cell stage, and honestly I thought the herbivores had it a lot easier.

Omnivores are probably the easiest, though you do have to watch how your actions affect your evolution and make sure you aren't drifting too much towards the herbivore or carnivore side of things.

Oh and I think more than half of the video time here was spent on ads...

I think the ads are a good solution that lets the content provider make money and keep providing content, but elite users can just stop the video after the credits role.

Everybody wins.

Oh... except non-elite users?

I hate these.

That noooooooooooooooooo was longer than the Star Wars NO's put together....

You mean the ones featuring music clips in violation of copyright? Yes, I can see how that would be a sound business plan.

Well, they should have thought of that before creating the standard. Besides, if they didn't seek permission before use, they deserve to get sued. Regardless, they could have put their collective heads together and come up with something better than the craptastic opener they have now.

"Plays god games old testament style"

hehehe

Send me a message if you'd like to see my spore creations :-P (cheesy self spore plug there) I've got some great aliens and predator stuff all you nerdy folk would love :-D

I'm surprised he didn't mention EA's DRM fucking you in the ass.

Indoubetably mon garçon, it had a certain je ne sais quoi quality to it.

The Review?

Spot on.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

Sorry K0mmie, but I've added some spaces to your comment as it's breaking the sidebar for the "top comments' box.

It clearly does fit his humour style.. he thought of it and said it, therefore it IS his humour style.....? Or do you know more about his humour style than he does?

Sick of people ragging on ZPR's these days, for every 1 person making a good point there's 50 trying desperately to come up with something ANYTHING to complain about. Like "it doesn't fit his style" as though he's ??? replaced his writers (rofl!?) And "This is so obvious, he's just calling a bad game bad!" - OMFG he's a reviewer giving a review of a bad game and he calls it bad? WHAT A HASBEEN!!

Meh, no, he phoned this one in.

He ripped apart the first four stages and then skimmed over the MEAT of the fun part of the game, which was space.

Though the creature-non-space phases

I have to say, this time the audio from the warhammer ad was more impressive than the interview itself.

The DRM bitchfight (check out the amazon.com ratings) also feels more significant in a weird way than this review.

And his reviews generally cry out tears of significance.

His obsession over the SC2000 implementatin of SimCity was also kinda odd.

He got some good jokes in there but could've taken things further.

I like Spore a lot, but he's almost spot-on with the review (except the balance between carnivores and veggies... bribing nearby villages makes all the difference!)
