How Addicting?

It can get a little addicting in space, because you want to conquer so many planets, terraform something to L3, or you're just trying to get enough money to get that next uber bomb.

But as others have said, it winds up collecting dust for a few weeks before you feel like playing again.

Will Wright stated this is a "casual" game. Yeah, I guess so, because I only feel like playing it once in awhile and not for much. So, I suppose that's casually... lol

It's not like Civ. I love coming back to this game, and it's always fun and different.
 
I'd say at this point in the game's development, the only addicting part of it is the designers.
 
If you want to design, just buy the Spore Lab. It is much more cheaper, and it's the only thing that might interest you for the time to come. The gameplay of the full game really isn't worth it. Neither for hardcore nor for casual gamers.
 
Spore-Lab? I believe that's a product unavailable in the USA. Only the full game, or the demo is available in the states.
 
Just a shame all your vehicles and UFO's behave exactly the same way, no matter what race you have and what 'traits' you acquired.

I love creating things, but not if its just cosmetic. Right now, the cell stage of Spore is the only part that interests me.

EDIT: wait, that's your creation? I should point out that I was impressed :D (how did you do the 'petals' I wonder :) )

Thanks! I was inspired by creations by Slartibartfast38, he makes wonderful stuff. The petals were made using a wing from the 'plane' tab, first column, nest-to-last row. It is called 'Helix wing'.

The vehicles do have *some* stats, not too game differing though. But you have to realize that this is done to give the player the liberty to make the UFO exactly how they want it, without being punished by the game. If it was done differently you would get much less diversity. The Hybrid is but one example many other vastly different, but awesome UFO that have been made. Someone used the light beams of one of the available lights to form the 'structure' of the UFO. Other people make great loony tunes figures, or more wacky household stuff.

Although it might not be gaming in the traditional sense, but it is a very entertaining way to spend time looking through them and creating your own.
