A user from the Gamefaq forums posted a summary of PC Powerplay Magazine’s review on Spore:
Pros:
Limitless custom content
Varied types of gameplay
No more Sims #1!Cons:
Not deep enough
All about the creator
Designed for Non-gamersOverall: Awesome in scope, mainstream in depth. 9/10
9/10 is great but…lack of depth? Designed for non-gamers? That’s pretty disappointing.
Here are some bits:
“Spore is a far better game than The Sims ever was”
“Spore is an incredible experiance but it doesn’t quite live up to all that it said it would”
“The occasional UFO sighting becomes all the cooler when YOU eventually get to be the UFO”
“For Spore to work you really need to be playing it as one continuous game, instead of seperate stages. If you play them in isolation, you’re bound to end up dissapointed.”
“In many ways the gameplay of creature takes some of the worst aspects of games like WoW and Diablo”
Disclaimer: This may be fake, but it was announced that PC Powerplay Magazine would be the first to review Spore so we can assume this is accurate. We will see if this poster’s claims are true when the magazine comes out tomorrow, August 20th, in Australia.

Great game. Collision textures quit annoying, though.
