  • Abstract:  You’ve got to respect the creators of Spore for the scope of their ambition alone. The game allows users to build their own unique creatures and take them on an astonishing evolutionary journey from the simplest of single-celled beings right up to a fu...

  • Robust creature creator allows players to make whatever they want; replay value is infinite.
  • No multiplayer or online whatsoever; creation system has too much aesthetics; gameplay lacks fun, becomes tiring quickly.
  • A game with much to like, but not enough to enjoy regularly.

  • The Creature Creator engine that you use in the game is probably, in all actuality, the real meat of the game. It almost seemed to me, at points, that they designed a game around a Creature Creator, instead of the other way around. Impressive as it is,...

  • Abstract:  Its been years since Sims creator Will Wright first announced their ambitious game Spore, and now that its finally in stores, its easy to look back on this games hype and be at least a little disappointed. But to be perfectly honest, Spore wasnt ...

  • Abstract:  Millions upon millions of years of evolution cant have been easy; after all, it took that long... it must have been a bit of slog. Yet here I am, playing a game where I get to evolve out of the primordial sludge into a space faring race that vies for ...

  • Abstract:  Spore is split into five distinct evolutionary stages and the easiest way to work through the review is by taking each one in turn. You’re got the cell, creature, tribal, civilization and space stage. Each rung in the ladder has an editor and creation ...

  • Individual phases have their faults, but the old adage about sums and parts applies, big time. Hardcore strategy fans may shudder and turn back to Sins of a Solar Empire, but anyone with the urge to create and a sense of wonder will find Spore practically...
