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.

 Spore Review - Mixed Opinions October 8, 2008
4 out of 12 found this review helpful
Spore was first heard of way back in 2005. Back then, the video shown had far more bits in it then what was included in the released version. It promised so much and we got so little. The game seems to have been "dumbed down" and "stupefied" for the mass market (makes it more for The Sims audience then true gamers).
One believes they are holding back certain aspects (Like plant-creator, swimming-phase, etc) for an expansion to make more money.
The early stages are a bit short and last stage is too long. However, Spore still an enjoyable game as it is. It's nice to fly around and meet your other saved games!
I would recommend the game if you are thinking of buying it, however don't base all your hopes on old videos of the game, they are almost two different games.
 Not bad, but gets boring after a few times. October 8, 2008

Delivery was generally fast, not as fast as I would've liked but it didn't take 2 weeks. The game itself tends to freeze at some parts & my computer exceeds all the requirements but I'm hoping that they will have some patches to fix it soon.
Avoid this game! October 7, 2008

Of the 5 levels, I was able to play only the first two levels, before the game refused to start again. I uninstalled/reinstalled twice, but it simply wouldn't run again. My guess is the DRM must have screwed up the game. I returned my copy.
DRM??? Too bad! Killed a sale. October 7, 2008

I too was ready to purchase this game. After trying out the Creature Creator, I thought the concept was a fresh idea. It's a crying shame that EA put so many stipulations on the installation and usage. I can't in good conscience purchase something with such anti-pirating crap. I'm not a thief, and I don't agree with EA's views on how this software is being distributed with such limitations. I thought this was America. My apologies to Wil, but I would ask for a bane against this type of software security tactic.
