Spore: Tips and Tricks

People Buying Spore! be warned! Will did a great job of overhyping the game to hell

This game is great but is deffinitly not worth the original price ( or the price of expansions) and is deffinitly not for all people. The shining aspect is the fact you are able to create your own creatures (and inanimate objects) as you please and make them interact in a fairly in depth world. The concept was amazing but i have a few beefs.  One during the production of said game there was a planned aquatic phase ( not the cell phase) which was removed much to my demise.  Other then that, the game is buggy and every time they try to debugg the buggs new more annoying bugs show up, such as originally if a mac use (aka myself) downloads the patch we loose sound and we gain the fact that weapons during the tribal phase dont duplicate in a multiarmed/hand monster.  If you can get the game for a cheap price it is deffinitly worth it but the good portions are short and the space phase is overhyped, repetitive, annoying, easy, and rather boring.

Tips on creature creator!

tab allows more access points for rotation meaning if the stupid mouse twitching bug it does so often is a thing of a past!

holding control allows you to place limbs on limb joints meaning you can make a more interesting species of mutant

Tips on cell phase

Early on use as many flagella as possible, until you are capable of purchasing and gaining the part of the omnivore mouth the cillia(fast turns) and electric.  Electric when used correctly is the best deffense against anything due to its semi range, instant shock, and a ward for the big odd looking things.

Tips During creature phase

attack/befriend the neighboring creatures right away seeing as they are weak and shortly wierd evo pods show up changing them into something more annoying, i usually go on long hunts for bone piles after the neighbors are taken care of; even one top tier part can help soooo much, such as the frog mouth, it has max sing meaning befriending becomes a breeze 9/10 of the time.

After that the game just progressivley gets easier even on “hard”.

Creepy and Cute <- waste of money, you can make cooler monsters but thats it and its expensive(ish)

Galatic Adventure <- its cool, it has alot of staff content and user content but its rather childish.

All in all Maxis’s Massive  SinglePlayer Online Game is fun, but should’ve gone multiplayer
