amazon.com is now saying the removal of all those negative reviews was an "accident/glitch". Not sure I believe that.
Spore
Oh, by the way - here's a great music video to go along with Spore.
Interesting...all reviewers say that Space stage is the bes,t but i find it boring. I'm basicly carting Spice betwene half a dozen planet,s because I never have enough money to afford enough of the tools to do all the stuff I want.
Civilization, on the other hand, I loved. Definitly favorite stage. I wouldn't say it's shallow, so much as lacking bells and whistles. It's a competent RTS, just not all that fancy.
