Nice Artbook and Guide, Misleading Box Art I bought this at Gamestop, thinking it had the game with it as well. Turns out it's just the guide and artbook. How misleading could something be? It had the ESRB rating on it, system requirements, and, on the back, read "One Game of Evolution, Two Species of Books!". Looked and sounded an AWFUL lot like it contained the game as well. I wish I would have known better. Fortunately, the stock image clarifies that it's JUST the artbook and guide, and DOESN'T contain the game as well. Buy it online to avoid... more info
art book is better I think i would have done better to just bought the art book instead of the guide with it. but its a good value for the money but it just seems the guide isnt as really useful as it could be. but the art book is really nice!
Wonderful guide for a terrible game. This is what guidebooks should be. Informative, concise, and with a wonderful presentation. The art book is also fantastic. The only problem is the subject matter. Buying this book is like buying a guidebook to playing WAR (yes, the card game). Spore is terrible.
Just a technical note The Game Guide is a softcover, while the artbook is a hardback. A rather heavy hardback. So don't drop it on small animals or children.
