SPORE by Electronic Arts

Smooth and Flawless gameplay so far...

I played this game for quite a bit down at the Penny Arcade Expo, and was enthralled by it. It truly is a masterpiece in the making. I was particularly intrigued by the depth of the open world, and the level of detail put into almost every part. When you are at the lower levels of the food chain, and are scavenging for food, it seems as if you could explore anything and see the level of work put into the game. The games ability to bring you to a microscopic level without resorting to a side scrolling adventure really set it apart for me. Up, down, side to side, and every angle of your environment could be explored. I look forward to delving deeper into the game with my own copy soon enough.

AWESOME GAME, VERY DEEP PHILOSOPHICALLY SPEAKING, BUT GREAT FUN

Written by MV from Los teques

As many people I was waiting for this game. I heard you would be able to create creatures and meake them evolve since the cell state to a civilization. I thought it was difficult to fill those expectations for the game creators, but I have to say that Spore is way over my expectations.
Not only cause they made it possible exactly as they said it would but the graphics run so smoothly on my mac, and the game has a great, sharp, beautiful look on the screen.
It worth totally the money. I must say that the social features of registering are cool too. They store all your creatures, sessions, you can keep track of the evolution of your game always.
A MUST HAVE GAME: TRULY REVOLUTIONARY.

Without any doubt... the best game I've ever played!

Written by HR

I remember the day I played Super Mario when I was 4 years old... I felt like discovering something new, level after level. Now it seems rather boring because each of the levels were the same after playing it 200 times.

But with this game is different, and with different I mean veeeeery different! Everything depends on you, on how you feed your creature, on how you create it! Everything, everyday, something new will happen! But all of this because of you, as the creature depends on you, it will evolve into something to adapt for living, from a single cell organism to a spaceship commander, discovering new planets, solar systems and galaxies.

Trying to conquer the universe is a very long task, so long, that I would describe it as "endless". And that's what the game is: "endless", apart from being the best game in the universe (seriously). I extremely recommend this game to everyone!

The World's greatest game

Written by JE from Montclair

Sep 28, 2008

Spore is amazing, starting as a defenseless cell swimming, then evolving to grow spikes, cilia, and eventually into a land creature. As you now hunt or socialize, or both, on land, your brain grows and evolve with new parts and you start to grasp the idea, "I make things happen!" You form a tribe and ally or conquer other tribes. Along the tribal stage, you collect new tools, change the outfits of your tribe, and become the dominate species. This leads you to battle with other cities of your won species in the civilization stage. This stage grants you power by economic skill, religious control, or pure militaristic strategy. Once you have your hold on all cities, you build a starship. Fly out into the space, and take over the galaxy, just as you have taken over your planet...

Excellent!

Written by LH from San Francisco

I seriously think this game has more re-playability value then Sid Meier's Civilization Series. For those who say it is a wear-out after 2 days, the person doesn't have a clue about creature creation. I,definitely,would recommend this product whose brain is on the creative edge not the literal side of mind.

Amazing!

The only people are giving this a bad review is the DRM thats in the game. (Google it) But this game is very fun. You start from cell and move up through the evolution path. You can control everything.

It's a GREAT Game!

Written by SH from Concord

This is a GREAT game :)!!!!

Worth *every* penny!! How much do you pay to see a 1.5 hour movie? This is a better "investment" than gong to a couple of movies!

Hours of fun and discovery, cool graphics, etc. Just buy it! And play :)

I haven't had so much fun with a game since Claymation!

Overall a great game that can take as long as you want it too. Definitely worth checking out the free demo on the website (Creature Creator) which is enough fun in itself. But worth it for sure!

Best Game Ever Built!

Written by AT from Billings

Nov 9, 2008

I got Spore as a gift, and was so excited. (I had been wanting it for a long time.) Once I got all set up, the game was so cool! Create your own cell, evolve to a creature, gain intelligence and evolve to tribe, then raise another brain level to civilization, where you can destroy, trade, or befriend a different city, and then become smarter still to evolve to the space stage, where you can colonize other galaxies, planets, etc. The only downside of the game is registering an account (optional). You have to be 13 or older to register, but it totally pays off. I reccomend it for every game lover.

SPORE by Electronic Arts

Endless playability.

Written by PH from Cascade

Ok, so, yes, this game's release has been marred by the activation limiting DRM, and yes, it does have some glitches. But come on, seriously, those things are small, small details.

I bought this game after having heard all the bad things about the DRM, the buggy gameplay, the limited phases of gameplay...I bought it with fairly low expectations, really. But I am 100% glad I bought it, for Spore is one of the greatest computer games I have ever played.

The phases of gameplay leading up to the space stage are definitely not that deep, but that's okay. Spore's real appeal lies in the space stage anyway, and they definitely succeed in that respect. The galaxy is massive, open-ended, and richly detailed. There are any number of ways to play through the space stage. And the massively-single player features add a layer of community to a game where you can basically create anything.

Yeah, there are some bugs. I play this game on my MacBook Pro, with the latest version of Leopard and 4 gigs of RAM, and even on this computer, it's a little buggy. I've had my fair share of crashes. But don't let that scare you off. When it crashes, you just have to shrug it off and boot it back up. My advice? Save often.

So, Spore may not be as deep as Maxis claimed it would be during the development process, where they almost made it seem like you had total control. You most certainly do not have total control. But that's a good thing. It makes the game more challenging, because, rather than just making a galaxy, you instead get to conquer it.

Buy this game. You will never ever stop playing it.

It can't get much better than this!

Written by WM from Celebration

Sep 11, 2008

Seriously though! It really can't get much better. The game has something for every gamer, and that is key for a video game. Spore is a game that it is really hard to fathom how hard it was to make this come true, and also really hard to fathom what to do next.

Each step of the game is crucial to your future in game. You almost have to sit down, and plan out what you want to do, or where you want the spike to go on your creature! This is the game that will revolutionize the industry in the future. From the creators of The Sims, Will Wright and Maxis brings you the most anticipated game in 5 years, Spore.

Well done, Well done.

Fantastic game!

Written by DB from Seattle

Dec 18, 2008

This is the first computer game I've been compelled to play in years, and it's fantastic! There are so many ways to play it that you can really make it your own. A great deal of the game is built around creating your own imaginative world, by creating creatures, buildings, clothing styles, vehicles, etc. Your strategy depends on your playing style (are you a pacifist or a warlord, vegetarian or carnivore, friendly neighbor or provocative one?) The game play lasts a very long time, especially if you enjoy the creation process, and once you've run the course of one species, you can start at the beginning and play a completely different kind of creature, and thus a totally different game.

The only thing I don't like is that while it is running, it is the only thing your computer is doing (no multi-tasking email, working on documents, etc). But maybe that's a bonus, as it ensures being transported into a whole new strange world.

No other game is more dynamic, customizable, and awesome as spore. I don't play at the highest video quality and the graphics are STILL great. Every level is just the perfect length to beat. All the choices possible make every move unlike any other.

Wow.
