Seriously, what's wrong with these clueless reviewers? The early stages are only there to give a motto, believability, a training ground and tutorial for the last stage, which is the "real" part of the game!
Furthermore, the fact that almost no one even noticed that the early stages are tutorials means that SPORE is completely awesome.
And more, how can they ask for depth in the early stages when all you do is play a couple of hours in each of them atmost?? The Space Stage is the only one that has depth because you can easily spend dozens of hours on it alone.
