I've spent a couple of days playing Spore, and whilst elements of it are great, there's some really dull moments. I think it's very 'Sims-y' and I've found the control mechanism massively irritating. Having said that my race has just started to build a galactic empire. I find that whilst the game has massive breadth, it's lacking in depth and is highly repetitive, but it (especially the space stage) reminds me of Frontier, Elite II in the sheer scale of it all. Oh Frontier, how I yearn for a remake...
