Overview
Spore is your own personal universe from “The Sims" creator Will Wright and Electronic Arts. You can create and evolve life, establish tribes, build civilisations, sculpt worlds and explore the cosmos.
Made up of five games, each corresponding to a stage of evolution: Cell, Creature, Tribe, Civilisation, and Space, every stage of Spore presents different challenges and goals for you and your creatures.
Rule your own universe
From tide pool amoebas to thriving civilisations to intergalactic starships, everything is in your hands. Evolve your creatures through five phases of evolution: Cell, Creature, Tribe, Civilisation, and Space.
Decide the fate of your civilisation
It’s survival of the funnest as your choices reverberate through generations and ultimately decide the fate of your civilisation. Will your creature rule the universe, or will your beloved planet be blasted to smithereens by a superior alien race?

Everything you make is shared with other players online and vice versa, providing tons of cool creatures to meet and cool places to visit.

Spore
This game is Legendary! written by a universe ruler (in the game!)

Spore is really cool when you first boot it up, you are taken to a whole new universe!
Despite taking up a lot of space on your h…Read moreard drive & needing a pretty decent graphics card, the 3-D experience just doesn't let you stop! The creature creator is really good too I'm just guessing but for tribal stage there are probably about 1,000,000 different combinations not including getting the limbs in the same place, this really does mean you cannot make the same creature twice! But if you do want it again there is sporepedia which you can filter to get any creature you or maxis (the game designer) have made. This game is amazing but my best tip is check your PC or Mac is compatible before buying this game!(3 of 3 people found this review useful)

Boring, boring boring

This game is interesting and hold your attention for a couple of hours. However, whilst one can change the look of just about evry…Read morething, animals, building, vehicles it doesn't seem to make any difference to the way they perform. Once at the space stage it becomes highly repetitive and rapidly becomes no fun whatsoever. This is compounded by the fact that the game is highly nstable and crashes regularly. With no autosave this is very frustrating. My advice, stay away and don't waste your money

WARNING: Will Only Run With Administrator Rights!

I've just finished an email conversation with EA support and they tell me (and I've confirmed it) that SPORE will ONLY run on a Ma…Read morec if you login as a user with Administrator privileges. This is such an obviously bad idea that I can't quite work out what EA are playing at frankly - I would only use an Administrator account to do system admin work, never for day-to-day use so I'm now trying to get a refund from EA :-(
Just utter madnes!

I love this game. It's fresh and different to a lot of games on the market. You start life as a single-celled lifeform and evolve …Read morefrom the sea to the land to the stars! The graphics are brilliant and the imagination behind this is inspiring. The variety of different forms of creatures are almost endless.
I know that EA have copy-protected this game, which a lot of people don't like but but my review is about the game itself and it deserves 5 stars.(51 of 68 people found this review useful)
