Right, good stuff.
Cell stage. I ADORE this part of SPORE for some reason. I will happily play this stage over and over and over and over again, because I'm an ickle multi-eyed bacteria zipping around the primordial soup. I have a purpose (eat, get parts, avoid foes), it's throughly enjoyable and I can't help but love the little bacteria, their squeaks as they run in fear.
Creature customisation is of course, amazing. My only gripe is I'd like to upgrade the ABILITIES of the creature seperately, rather than have it match the look alone. What if I don't want my herbivore to look like a pig? What if my carnivore doesn't want teeth bristling everywhere? I really like the look of X hands but they're weak starters, etc etc etc. Anyway, I said I'd be positive - I really like the variety with have. A little imagination and manipulation and you can make anything.
Despite the shortness and lack of things to do, I dig Tribal stage. I really like the feel of it, and how my creatures now run around and interact with each other. Dancing around the fire is great and such a nice random touch. Fine, there's no tangible reward, but it's really fun to gather all my warriors together and have a big war dance around the fire before going off to hunt something.
