I saw somebody call this Spore 2.0 and that’s exactly what it is. This game had all the sorts of hype that should make you wary at this point, only difference is it came more from the fan community this time around.

Lots of snippy replies, but if I were you, I’d return your unopened copy and wait for it to go on sale. It probably won’t take long before prices start dropping on it. It sounds like it would be a great game at a more appropriate price. Probably should’ve been a $15 downloadable title.

It’s a superb foundation for a great game, but it’s definitely lacking in the sense you that it’s immediately obvious the many ways it could be improved. As is it’s just a grindy resource gathering game.

It’s truly sad that you’re labeling a game you haven’t played as disappointing. Why don’t you open the box and form your own opinion, you asshat?
