okay dude wake up and smell the roses! which would you rather do? be able to control EVERY part of a species, add claws,tails ANYTHING! and have it conquest worlds, starting from a single cell organism? or just a huge animal that fights along your armies? sure you can teach it but you have to do it over and over...its babysitting essentially until it masters something which can take a while. sure it can be evil, or good,but i like spores better because i didnt like the original B&W,to me the description on the back and that it was a lionhead project drew me in, but something made me lose intrest quickly. im not being biased, i know i havent played spores, but judging from what i have HEARD that spores is better suited to my tastes. plus lucasarts and B&W2 forums are full of idiots. i know! instead of using hybrid cars or gasoline, lets burn the idiots! wait...*sniiff* i smell smoke.....OH NOE! *runs to the bathtub* darn darn darn...not extinguishing...!!! AAAAHHHHH btw EA isnt bad, i just pay them no heed, seemed heartless for them to close westwood, thats all
