Worth the money just for the first three stages. Love the sharing / content-creation side of things. Lovely user-interface. Generally 100% fun and immersive, except for the first five minutes of trying to figure out the camera controls and suchlike. No problems with install or log-ons. It supports large widescreen monitors. Great sound design and superb music from Eno. I'd like to be able to force capital letters at the start of people's creature creations ("Poopadom", not "poopadom" just because someone was too lazy to hit the caps key) , and to block names that use non-English characters. Lots of nice little touches, just enough to entertain without overwhelming and distracting. I would have liked a little more flexibility in laying out the village. I'd also like to be able to give the tribe things and observe how they interact with it (like the drum in the 2006 Will Wright demo) proceeduraly.
