Man, Spore sucks

Alright, maybe I'm getting a bit ahead of myself, but this game has not been fun thus far. Even the highly touted creature creation felt clunky and unsatisfying. From what I've heard, the later stages are more enjoyable, but I'm disliking this tedious evolution bullshit so much, I don't know if I can continue. And after reading this, I don't know if I really care about finding out.
