New Spore patch offers free limbs News
PC News by Robert Purchese
EA is giving away free limbs for Spore with a brand new patch.
The 24 free arms and legs are being handed out to celebrate the US launch of the Creepy & Cute Parts Pack today. The update also fixes a couple of minor glitches. Just fire up the EA Download Manager to begin installation.
The Spore Creepy & Cute Parts Pack launches in shops and on the EA Store here this Friday, and adds over 100 body parts to put together creatures from.
The game costs GBP 9.99, but is also bundled as a free extra when buying the full version of Spore from the EA Store.
Spore arrived on PC back in September and suitably impressed us and proved well worth the long wait. Head over to our Spore review to find out why.

Agreed Mrz that was indeed my problem with it. It was too limited for me. Not that it was directly aimed at me, but I think they hyped it too much.

want to play it again at some stage, but 90% of my fun was in the space/creature creator

Except, well no not quite, right? Rather fire up Spore and sit and wait while it patches itself, idle, by default a full screen application which denies you use of your PC while it faffs away pulling stuff off the internet. Great. |

Wonder why this add on pack cost £9.99, when the "creature creator" demo cost £4.99, and contained more content?
Oh, let me guess. Pirates. No wait a minute, didn't its wonderful DRM solve that problem? |

I'm enjoying Spore but does anyone know why it doesn't support AA?
I can force 2X AA using ATITray but it seems to render the game unstable, although it's worth it for the improved image quality. Odd that such a relatively basic looking game should lack something like AA support... the game doesn't appear to be using HDR for starters and even if it was most modern graphics cards can handle both, right? My card is a RADEON HD 3850 by the way. |

Played for a weekend, got to the Space stage, almost immediately recognised how tedious and fiddly it was going to be and there's no point replaying any of the previous stages, one of the only times I wished I'd saved my money, and confirmed to me why I don't buy games for my Mac (or a PC if I had one) - too hard to flog on afterwards if you hate it.
:( What a waste of cash. |

Haven't played it since launch weekend and have little inclination to do so. Far too shallow for any longevity.

Play about with the demo of the Creature Creator then buy a nice cheap copy of Gal Civ 2, you'll have more fun than Spore ever delivered.
It's easily the biggest disconnect between reviewers and people who buy their games I can remember, even Black & White had journos eventually recanting their initial enthusiasm. "Shite" would be a more appropriate name for this garbage. |
