I really wanted to like Spore. I got it the day it came out and played it for quite a while. Ultimately it was just too simplistic for my tastes. Even if it remained simple, I might have enjoyed it more if I could more freely explore. It just seems like the game is worried about you getting bored and so injects alot of things that have to be taken care of relatively quickly. Even in the space stage it seems I could never get too far away with someone needing me to come all the way back because of an attack or eco-disaster. I just got tired of being interrupted all the time. The Massively Single-player concept didn't seem to scale well as your empire got larger. The massiveness seemed to punish the player rather than reward him.
