Day 1... Spore goes cellular.
By Dalai 2 Comments
So yesterday was Spore day for me and I spent a few hours just getting acquainted with the game. I spent the few hours I had experimenting and checking out some of the creation tools and going cellular with my little guy.
I messed around with the cellular stage which is the simplest of them all... there's little strategy to it, really. You start off as some weird sperm-like critter and eventually grow as you eat gobs of green or red chunks... I decided to go green and become one of those herbivores. You swim around just eating stuff... that's about it. It's reminiscent of several games... flOw comes to mind as well as Pac-Man. It's not really deep, but you can evolve and start attaching various defense mechanisms and other parts right away. This stage is fun to mess with for a while, but you didn't buy Spore to swim around in some dirty puddle... you bought it for the creature creating and spaceship building.
I eventually grew a pair... of legs and walked out of the pond for some fresh air. But that is for another day, tomorrow to be precise. I'm not completely amazed yet, but I have a feeling my impressions will get exceedingly more positive over the next few days.
