Create universal wonder in Spore, an exciting new simulation game that lets you develop your own personal universe. Work your way through five evolutionary phases, including Cell, Creature, Tribe, Civilization and Space, that offer unique challenges, thrills and goals. For example, you can start in Cell and nurture one species from a simple aquatic organism all the way until it becomes a sentient life form. Or you can jump right in and begin building tribes and civilizations on multiple planets. What you do with your universe is totally up to you.

The powerful creation tools of Spore are easy to use, allowing you to effortlessly design every aspect of your universe. Creatures, vehicles, building and even starships are all within your grasp. While Spore is a single-player game, your creations and other players' creations are automatically shared between your galaxy and theirs, offering a nearly limitless number of worlds to visit and enjoy. You can also go online to view the incredible things other players have made and can even pull those items into your universe. Spore gives you the chance to make worlds and beings that evolve, grow and delight you every step of the way.

Average Rating: out of 5 stars
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - A great game, DRM woes aside
I'm not going to tell you the basic game structure, as you already know it. I'm going to tell you what I think of the game.

Spore is a great game. It has revolutionary concepts, vivid visuals, and unlimited playback value. It's a shame that so many bad reviews are dragging down its rating. That's not to say, however, that the game doesn't have its problems.

Starting with the good: Spore is simply a blast to play. It really combines 5 completely different games (some better ... Read More

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Fun for a while, but....
One of the things that has always attracked me to the MAXIS brand is the customization built into their games (i.e. sims 1&2).And while I have enjoyed building unique creatures, placing them into an environment, then running them thru their paces, the game still leaves much to be desired.
There's no real "design" to the creatures, meaning just stick on a part anywhere to gain an ability (like sticking a horn on the creature's behind to gain a "charge" ability.
The controls are ackward, ... Read More

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - The DRM is much too invasive for me, I won't be buying this game
My husband & kids were looking forward to getting Spore as a Christmas present. Unfortunately due to the invasive nature of the latest SecuROM we won't be buying. I see no point in being required to connect to the internet to play a computer game that isn't played online, besides the kids gaming computer is not connected to the internet.

I'm not at all happy that EA continues to force this DRM on us when according to articles, it hasn't done much to stop the software pirates. All it does ... Read More

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Excellent for for ALL ages
Got this for my boyfriend on his 24th birthday. Upon seeing him play it, I loved it too (28 years old). We often play it together, or bicker over who gets to play it solo. My cousins (ages 10 and 13) love it too. Excellent game, lots of fun, adjustable difficulty levels. Just save the game frequently, as it has sporadically crashed twice on our Mac. (FYI, we havent had ANYTHING crash on our Mac, which we have had for one year, so I'm hesitant to think the problem is with the Mac.) Either way, the game ... Read More

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Just buy it
My son and I are TOTALLY addicted to this game. When we play a video game it is Spore we play.
