Anyone played spore yet?

I've been meaning to install - got a bit distracted with router issues and I heard meh things about it. End game is supposed to be nice though.

not out yet unless you're an aussie or a pirate :P

I want to get it. I saw Mr. Wright demo it at Comic Con and it looks awesome.

It looks like a cute concept that would abhor anyone with a serious interest in the civilization aspects of it. We'll see though.

I've played the version released for the Nintendo DS.

It's not the sort of game you think about actually.

It's a doodle a diversion, something you play not to win, but just to expend time on.

It's comparable to wandering through random amvs on the assumption you might actually find one you like accidentally :)

Are you calling me an Aussie?

I ended up installing last night and getting to the part where you get a pack-mate to do some team hunting. My power's been out since 9AM though, so I can't play. :(

My game budget is waiting for Fallout 3 and Left 4 Dead... maybe Braid when it finally comes out for PC.

Errr... then again... I might buy it on a whim... which is why I shouldn't waste my time making budgets that I never follow...
I'm not rich... I just plan on dying before I retire.

Game is awesome for 2 stages. Then the last 3 suck major ass. Whole damn thing turns into RTS generica. It loses all the open-endedness of the beginning.

DRM for spore. After reading about this, any consideration to buy/try it is gone.

I'd rather play Sid Meyer's Civilization. :O

Or a nice fantasy RPG.

Not spore though. :O

Played it on a buddy's computer, and I wasn't too too thrilled, and I definitly won't buy it.

played it, enjoyed it all the way up till the space stage, but that was as far as i could get before i started to get really bored.

some more variety in terms of the random disasters/events would have kept my interest longer(or maybe i just didn't play it long enough? i don't care, whatever variety there might be just didn't show up fast enough to keep my interest), but after the umpteenth time i had to stop what i was doing to go save my homeworld/colony from the invaders/horrible disease, it all started to wear on me.

uninstalled it, and sold it to a friend who likes that kind of repetitive crap.

Haven't played it and never plan to. If EA's idea of copy protection is assuming everyone is a pirate, then they don't need my business (and no, I'm not going to pirate it.) These stupid companies never get the message. Copy protection never stops the actual pirating of software, it only hurts the normal customer. This has been said a million times, yet they keep screwing the average person. I'm not against copy protection, I just can't stand the new super restrictive kinds.
