EA's Spore: Is it worth it?

I'm a die-hard Sims fan, played almost since the beginning, but I've never really tried many other PC games. Until the next Sims 3 Expansion is out I'm thinking of getting Spore. So far any of EA's games that I've played have been awesome, so wondering about some things about Spore...



-Is it worth the money?

-What exactly is the point (I mean, I know you have to evolve little creatures and stuff, but if you can go more in-depth, please do)

-Do you have to have anything more than just the base game disk?

-I know there are different, like...variations, I guess, of Spore. Like the Galaxies and Cute ones? Do these work like Sims expansions, where they just add to the base game, or do they work more as individual games? If so, which would be best?

-Overall, just how fun is Spore? How long can you play without getting bored? It seems like it generally has a nice pace of game progression, but I haven't really done enough research on it to know.

-How much memory does it use on your computer? I'm on a 288 GB laptop, and Sims doesn't take up much unless I've got a lot of CC on it. And if anyone has a computer with about the same conditions, does it run well on yours?

-Does it have a lot of bugs, or do you have to update it often? Because Sims is, like, every 2 weeks a new update, and it gets REALLY annoying sometimes...



Please add in any other info that might be of use. Thanks!EA's Spore: Is it worth it?

I got all 3 games I think combined they take less than 20 gig but mines steam so harder to tell
