"EA Spore Fail"
Pros: 1. Cute and amusing
2. I like the cellular level but will grow old fast.Cons: 1. EA ipoor customer service
Summary: I bought two copies of this game, 1 of them has an unlock code issue and thus can't be run yet. I have tried everything to get a hold of EA about this but only way that semi worked was their email from costumer service, but that only meant I got a message to them but have received no answer from EA (Other then the auto response that they'd get back to me in 24 hrs. it's been 48 hrs so far.)
2. Doesn't come near to living up to what was marketed
3. DRM is invasive, and hurt honest paying customers
4. No Parental control , some online creators are worrisome for a 10 year old to play.
Then their is the lack of parental controls, when creature creator was release within 24 hrs, very crude and obsense creature where ported to EA's website. So my concern is how do I keep my son from having P***S world, or alling with Vir***na creatures ect..... I personally can't understand why they don't have a rating system to the post creature or some kind of parental options installed.
DRM I am so tired of paying for a software, being the honest customer only to have the company making thing hard for me to own and run their game. I often upgrade hardware to play the newest and best games. These DRM activation treat new hardware as new install (Yes I've had it happen before) and just last month I have to whip my hard drive and reinstall everything because of a virus that got trough my security. So three activation can be used up very quickly and I've already stated how hard it is to get through to EA. So either I'll play the game out before it becomes an issue or I may join the legion of pirates to play a game I lawfullly bought in good faith from EA.
There is a good chance I'll stay honest though, as the game is dumbed down alot from what the original promised. Creature features and evolution really doesn't matter in the game, like originally purposed. So a 6 legged creature doesn't run faster then a 2 leg one, for example. So there is a good chance I'll grow bored with the game before I have to start down a road of crime to play it.
