Bent over by the DRM

If you don't mind being bent over and screwed by the DRM, the game is pretty good. Because of the DRM, I'm wishing that I could get my money back.

DRM.....

EA killed this game with really bad DRM. Really? 3 Installs? EA has to realize that people who PAY for their games shouldn't be punished. Because people who just GET IT from elsewhere does not have to deal with any kind of DRM. Don't buy this game until they fix the DRM issues.

The customer service for EA is nonexistent

We lost our registration code for this game. The game would not work on our first computer. Needless to say when we got a new computer and needed to reinstall it, we couldn't find the number and you can't install it without. It was a [...] game that my son never got to play. YOu can't email the company and there is no 800 number. Do not waste your money on this!!!

DRM killed Spore!

I'd give this game a minus three stars if I could. The Digital Rights Management on this game (ie: DRM or copy protection) is outrageous! Its one thing to protect your copyright, its something else again to punish the consumer for buying your product! Save your money.

Spore = Bore

The first two stages of the game are great. In fact its the only unique part of this game. After that it turns into a boring rts game. All the hype and previews over this game were just lies. I feel like i was taken for a ride on this one. And to make matters worse,the camera angles and controls are awful in the rts stages. I even wasted money on a guide. Don't buy this game if your thinking it will be something different. And now with the first patch,the sound is all screwed up. I uninstalled it and wish i could at least send it back.

Annoying DRM scheme

You can only install the game up to three times - overall. That means if you get a new PC every 3 years, in 7-8 years you'll find yourself unable to play the game. So it's really more like you're RENTING it.My 30 year old copy of Atari Combat works just fine; why can't PC games do the same?Oh, and you pretty much need internet access to activate the game, and if you want different people to be able to play (like a save file for each sibling) - forget it.A version without this DRM crap would probably rate 4 or 5 stars - as it is, you'd be doing yourself and your computer a favor by ignoring this game.
