Spore – Overhyped?
Written by andy on December 28th, 2008 in Gaming.
When evolution simulator Spore was announced in 2005, the industry dropped its jaw. Since then, it has been minor preview video here and an image or two there, minor press events after one another. Then, Spore was delayed.
By mid-June we saw Spore finally installed on our PCs. Spore ended up being a decent game, feeling more a mash of various genres and minigames boxed into one package. However, Spore lacked real consequences and science, making the concept of evolution cartoonish, elementary and casual. The game didn’t quite live up to its hype and claims and I think I was fooled. Thanks Uncle Wil!
