The most fun thing about this game is the DRM, its great. Its always there and even helps you by calling EA and making sure its a valid copy for you! That awesome! So once again if you like DRM buy this game!
 Wait..it has DRM? November 7, 2008
4 out of 21 found this review helpful
Spore is a interesting little game if you have trouble choosing the game you want to play. It takes ideas from Sid Meier's Civilization, Starcraft/Warcraft, Massive Online RPGs, and FLOW.
What we get is a cluster of games that leave us wanting more and that is why the space stage at the end makes it all worth the wait.
Now for the main issue at hand. Many people are complaining about the Spore DRM but I as of yet have had no problem whatsoever with it. Most of the people complaining are often trying to pirate or let their friends install the game.
Will not buy another EA game with SecuROM DRM November 5, 2008

I will not buy another EA game until EA stops including SecuROM 7.x DRM in its latest games. The following excerpt from Stardock's Customer Report 2008 sums it up for me. Stardock recently released Galactic Civilizations II and Sins of a Solar Empire. I wish the entire gaming industry would start to follow Stardock's lead.
Stardock's Policy on DRM
"Digital Rights Management is one of the most misunderstood concepts in the industry. DRM has become a catch-phrase for basically any type of copy protection. Stardock's position isn't anti-DRM or anti-copy protection but rather anti-stupid-DRM and anti-stupid-copy protection.
Broadly speaking, Stardock's position is that companies/individuals have every right to protect their intellectual property any way they want. However, we feel the most effective way to increase sales is to protect IP in a way that doesn't seem to punish legitimate customers.
Stardock's software and games don't require users to keep their CDs in the drive for instance. That only punishes legitimate customers. It's annoying to keep track of a CD and a pirate certainly doesn't have to worry about that since they're running a cracked version. So you actually end up better off if you're a pirate.
Similarly, DRM that has arbitrary activation limits for the lifetime of a product are counter-productive. A pirate doesn't have to worry about such limitations because they're running a cracked version. Yet the legitimate customer is stuck in the situation where they can't use a game or program because, a year later, they've bought a new PC and run out of activations. That's madness."
Innovative game, just not fun to play November 4, 2008
3 out of 8 found this review helpful
SPORE has been a while in the making and now it's been released, but it's not as I thought. The game is very innovative and lets you be relatively free. The only problem is this game is more of a chore than something fun to play. At first the game is really interesting, but once you figure out it's really just the same (wash, rinse, and repeat) game over and over again. The best part of the game is the creator, which has limitless ways of building things.
Btw, it works great on a Macbook Pro.
 AWESOME!!!!!!!!! November 3, 2008
