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.

Spore gives you the chance to make worlds and beings that evolve, grow and delight you every step of the way.

Finally all that hard work creating the perfect being can be put to good use. Import creatures that you created with the Spore Creature Creator and watch them live, breath and thrive in the full version of Spore.

Customer Reviews

just not good (2009-03-27)
Many of the people reviewing this game are mad about the DRM. And many are disappointed that the game was changed considerably from the trailers the designer showed during the years the game was being developed. That's why they rated the game as one of the worse ever.

However if you just look at the game itself, forgetting about the DRM and the hopes some people had for the game, what you find is a game that's just not good.

The game gives you very few options during each stage. Or at least very few options that are meaningful. You can change the way you look but the way you look has little to no effect on game play. Much of the game play is forced and gets old quickly. The computer controlled creatures never do anything interesting or surprising, but that's mostly because they never do anything.

As other reviewers have said you can find better games for free on the web.

DRM strips out the fun. Developers seriously need to take notice (2009-03-27)
DRM is too much of a hinderance. Bittorrent is just easier. I have the money but one install method sucks and the other doesn't. Which would you pick?

Draconian DRM, NO THANKS! (2009-03-25)
I'm a video game collector. If I had limited activations on my favorite games I've had for years such as Fallout 1&1, Planescape Torment, or Baldur's Gate just to name a few, my collection would be useless 5 times over by now. Over the years I've installed and re-installed games in my collection on various laptops and computers. Limited activations are a complete ripoff. This is like piracy of legitimate consumers and collectors.

SPORE= MORE EA UNPLAYABLE JUNK (2009-03-25)
I DO NOT KNOW HOW THIS GAME PLAY'S. I INSTALLED IT BUT IT WILL NOT LOAD ON MY HOME SYSTEM. THE OTHER SYSTEM I HAVE IS NOT CONECTED TO THE INTERNET SO EA WILL NOT LET ME PLAY A GAME THAT I PURCHASED WITH OUT EA'S PERMISSION, (WHY). THIS IS THE LAST TIME I WASTE MY MONER ON A EA GAME. EVERY TIME I HAVE PURCHASED A GAME FROM EA OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS MY COMPUTER WAS NOT UP TO THEIR STANDARDS. I AM TIRED OF BEING TOLD THAT MY VIDEO CARD OR THE AMMOUNT OF MEMORY WAS NOT UP TO EA'S STANDARDS AND THAT I WILL HAVE TO UP GRADE TO PLAY OUR GAMES. GOOD BYE EA. MY MONEY WILL SPEND JUST AS GOOD FOR SOMEONE ELSE'S GAMES.

OK at first but it gets boring fast (2009-03-24)
This game kind of pisses me off. The potato head graphics and animation technology is great and it has to potential to be a great game but it just doesn't quite come off. The game has several phases the first two being first person (third person really) and then it goes to a RTS which is where I start to loose interest since this isn't my cup of tea. I think if they had made into an online game where you can pit your creature against other player's creatures or even computer NPC creatures it would be much more fun. The real charm of this game is the evolution and creation of your species. The problem is you are past this part after the first two phases. In the third phase your creature design has some minimal impact on game play and in subsequent phases it basically does nothing.

I gave it 3 stars because the potential is there and the creature creator is cool. However as far as game play goes it just doesn't deliver.

Customer Reviews

An Amazing Product From Top To Bottom (2009-03-10)
This is a really well made game. Every detail is very well thought out, and high quality from top to bottom. The graphics, the sounds, the characters are superb. The game runs flawlessly on my computer, and is easy for newcomers to pick up. Their customer support is also very good, always answering my questions in a timely and helpful manner.

This game requires thought, strategy, planning, and skill. They dynamic aspect of having other live players online with you at the same time is amazing. You can go on adventures solo, or you can team up with other online players. It is a pleasure to watch your character gain experience and learn new things. Given its popularity, which is well deserved, it is probably one of the best games you'll ever play.

WOW, what can I say? (2009-03-08)
World of Warcraft Battlechest

The game arrived just as my trial period was to expire. I have played several times a week since it arrived. The price was competitive and (for me) shipping was free.

World of Warcraft fanatic!

Dad that got addicted...... (2009-02-25)
My son decided to get this so he could play with his cousins. Well, I just had to give it a try and now we have to machines running side by side and having a blast. It's been a real bonding time for us. I did have an Everquest account for a few years, so I had some idea that I would like this too, just didn't expect him to be into it.

Battlechest (2009-02-20)
World of Warcraft is a great game, of course. But this package with the two handbooks is not that great. I don't really use the guide books. You can find all that info online, or in better guides.

WARNING... do not purchase if you are in college. (2009-02-19)
I must admit, I was one of those who made fun of WOW players. Well, I got bored one day and decided to download the free 10-day trial and 2 months later, I now have a high level Mage and Death Knight.

This is without any doubt THE best game I have ever played in my entire life. 2 of my friends tried WOW and now they are hooked. When you see the scale and incomprehensible size of the game, you will understand why there is a monthly subscription fee. The servers run flawlessly, always updated with new content and believe me, you will actually save money since you will no longer want to go shopping, watch movies, dining out, etc.. lol

If you are still in college, avoid this game or you just might be retaking some classes lol. Im glad I finished undergraduate and graduate school before discovering the game at 29 years old.

This game is worth ever single dollar and kudos to Blizzard. WOW is a masterpiece!

My computer specs:

AMD Athlon 6200 X2
6GB ram
Vista 64 Pro
500gb HDD
Nvidia GeForce 9800 GT 512mb
Logitech Headset with microphone

I can run on max settings at 60+ FPS.

My macbook, runs it just fine too, but graphic settings must be lowered and framerates do suffer too. Still playable.

Product Description
The Sims 2 is an incredible sequel to the best-selling PC game of all-time! You'll get to direct an entire Sims' lifetime, and try to get them to reach their goals in life. Will they have a long, successful and happy life - or will they end up poor and heartbroken?
Amazon.com
The Sims was one of the most popular games ever made. In it, players micromanage the lives of a family of virtual people, or Sims, and influence their paths toward success or something akin to a nervous breakdown. Its open-ended blend of cartoonish behavior and everyday living is unique in an art form otherwise obsessed with carnage and sports. With The Sims 2, longtime fans now have a deeper game with lots of ways to customize and share their experiences. The game will also attract first-timers because the goal-oriented gameplay and the luridly fun starter families make it easier to get into the action right out of the box.

Now Sims are born with the traits of their parents, families grow, and Sims grow old.

The People in Your Neighborhood
The game starts at the neighborhood level. Here you can create a housing development from scratch or start with one of three premade neighborhoods, each with its own theme. From there, you'll settle on a house and a family of Sims to control.

Create your own Sim (above) or your own house (below) from scratch with advanced tools.

Aside from the basic needs carried over from the previous game, Sims now have aspirations, wants, and fears. The wants and fears are the day-to-day things that occupy their minds, like wanting to see friends or get married and fearing death or being rejected for a kiss. Satisfy their wants, and they become more efficient at completing tasks you assign them. Realize their fears, and Sims become lethargic, cranky, and unresponsive to your commands. Aspirations are the big-picture things, like raising a family, becoming wealthy, and gaining knowledge. Succeed here and you'll be able to buy odd gifts for your Sim to improve his or her life, like a money tree that pays dividends or a "fountain of youth" water cooler.

What Else Is New?
Of course, you wouldn't be able to juggle all that if it weren't for the improved "Free Will" option, which makes it easier for Sims to fulfill their basic needs. The artificial intelligence of the game is noticeably improved; they won't turn on radios just as a family member is going to bed but, strangely, they do occasionally put their dishes on the floor.

Another big change in the series is the concept of the lifespan. Now Sims are born with the traits of their parents, families grow, and Sims grow old. Not only does this go hand in hand with aspirations (growing up is the first aspiration that a baby Sim will have), it provides a limited time with which your Sims can achieve their goals.

The Universal Control Panel helps you manage your Sim family.

A Family Affair
The Sims 2 not only lets you create just about any type of Sim in any type of family, build elaborate houses, and even create a neighborhood from scratch, but it also allows you to start the game in medias res, with premade households. These families all have backstories that are smart spoofs of soap-opera plots--lots of scheming, romance, ghosts, and family fighting. Parents of teens shouldn't worry, though, because nudity is tastefully blurred out and "woo-hoo" between Sims takes place completely under the covers. The ESRB has given this a Teen rating. If The Sims 2 were a film, it would likely land between PG and PG-13.

The makers have included some nice tools to help share the universe you've created. For example, you can capture in-game stills and video to show friends the private moments, family interactions, and house parties of your Sims. You can even package a household to share as a blog or an album on a special Web site.

The Sims 2 is for patient gamers. Like life itself, the game is filled with mundane details, like getting ready for work and doing dishes. The game also demands a level of creativity from its players that the run-and-gun game genres wouldn't know what to do with. But those who stick with it will be rewarded with an absorbing, amusing diversion and a virtual family history that they've created themselves. --Porter B. Hall

Customer Reviews

Fun for those that like to design people, houses, and lives. (2009-03-07)
Sims 2 is a game where you can actually create a life!

You design people, choosing their personality,clothes, complete facial features [with limitless options] their wants and aspirations, and their family.

You completey design houses for your sims you create to live in. You choose if it is a Contemporary Mansion, a Royal Castle, a small Ranch House, a Beach House, even an Archetecture Masterpiece! When you are done with the design, you can go into the house and completey create the interior the way you want with hundreds, if not thousands, of options.

You can also create stores, parks, spas, officies, etc.

The best part, is that you are in control of their lives! All their aspects, like daily needs, romance, friends, school, jobs, everything. You tell them exactly what to do, or let them do whatever they want. You can make them work out, dance a solo to a sound system, watch t.v., read a book, study, kiss, hug, shop, everything.

The thing is, you have to wait a while for it to load to go to different stores and saving takes a bit more then a typical game.


Either way, I am sure that anyone with a passion to design or live virtual lives will love this game.

Should run on Intel Macs (2009-02-24)
I feel compelled to write a review because while researching the specs for this game, I found that none of the reviews here had my exact hardware/system software combo. While I ran the Aspyr Game Agent and passed the specs, I still saw that some people here had done the same and yet could not run the game. One review even distinctly tells Intel Macs owners to beware, especially those with Leopard 10.5, which is exactly what I have.

So I was apprehensive, but ultimately trusted the Game Agent, bit my tongue and bought it. And now, I am SO GLAD I DID!! I can say this much, the game is awesome, but more importantly, it works very well on my system. I also downloaded the Universal Binary patch from Aspyr.com and noticed a marked improvement in performance. Animation is consistently smooth and loading times are reasonable. In short, I am impressed, but perhaps only because these reviews lowered my expectations. I don't even have to quit other applications for it to run well.

For those with Intel Macs & Leopard, do some research into your graphics card, but on the whole you should be fine. I have a MacBook Pro, running OS X 10.5.4, 2 Ghz Intel Core Duo, with 1.5GB SDRAM and as said before, the game runs very well. I would download, use and trust the Aspyr Game Agent. Good luck!

fun game, but won't work (2009-02-24)
I bought this game a couple of months ago, and it was just as fun, if not more fun than the original sims games that I remember playing years ago. But then while studying for test and things I didn't have a chance to play it for about a month. When I went to play it again it just wouldn't open. The icon would bounce in the dock and then do nothing. So I tried to reinstall it and nothing happened. I still have no idea what do about it and having finally just given up. $40 wasted because EA games has yet to successfully put their games on macs.

Sims (2009-02-12)
The game is fun, additional game extensions would make it more fun, such as purchasing the Sims Dating or any other one, which I am planning to do.

Enjoyable game (2009-02-09)
I have always been a fan of The Sims games. I have been looking frantically for one that is compatible with my macbook. The game now has better graphic and new interplay making it even more addicting than the original! If you like to control your own world it is the perfect game!

Customer Reviews

great product (2009-03-23)
i was very happy when my product came sooner than expected. the game was

wrapped in new packaging as specified. the game has been played every day

since i recieved it. i am very pleased with it. i had a very old version

(2001). i didt't realize what i was missing until this game. the

graphics are amazing as well as the character content. but my favorite

is the hoyle bucks, where you earn bucks to purchase items for the game

like new backgrounds or new cards,or a whole host of things because

there's a catalogue to choose from. easy to use and fun. i would re-

commend this game to anyone.

pleased (2009-03-22)
thank you for the game. i have had so much fun playing it. others that get this game enjoy it...

Hours of entertainment (2009-03-10)
The Hoyle card games 2008 was easy to install on my Vista laptop, and is easy to use. Hours of great card game fun of all kinds. It is helping me learn how to play bridge, and I am even winning now and then.
I can recommend it to any one who enjoys card games but has no card playing partner.

Great to have the games for Mac OS X (2009-02-27)
I enjoyed these games when they were available in Mac OS 9 and was unhappy when the product wasn't upgraded, until now. It's good to have the old friend back, now much enhanced.

Very Disappointed (2009-02-16)
I wanted to pick up this program so that I could play Pinochle when I didn't have enough other players to play a physical card game. I am used to playing 4-handed single-deck, passing 4 cards between the winning bidders. I was resoundingly disappointed to find that this program did not allow you to pass four cards with your team-mate. No use for it now, and I have to find a program that will allow me to play Pinochle that way.

Customer Reviews

The premise to WoW (2009-03-02)
To start with, I'm a player of the old school Warcraft and Warcraft II. I haven't been into RTS games in a few years, so I skipped this title and went straight to World of Warcraft.

While WoW didn't seem like the Azeroth setting I was used to, I adjusted and kept playing. Then I learned that Warcraft III was essentially the premise to WoW. So, I decided to pick up this battlechest.

I learned a lot about the "new" Warcraft universe from this game. It tells the story of Illidan (WoW: Burning Crusade) and Arthas (WoW: Wrath of the Lich King), and explains a few other races and factions.

As for fun value, it was alright. For me, it served its purpose of explaining the storyline up to WoW and its expansion packs. I like how distinct each faction is with units and buildings. That was a nice touch.

The gameplay is solid. Very few glitches, and I didn't notice any bugs or exploits. Quite polished, really, but that's normal for Blizzard standards.

If you play WoW, but haven't played Warcraft III, I highly recommend playing for the storyline.

If you like RTS games, you might want to skip this one. The mix of RTS and RPG isn't really the best. You could probably ignore the RPG aspect and it'd play just like an RTS. This game is nothing like its predecessor, which was a disappointment.

lots of fun (2009-01-08)
Warcraft III in itself is a very good game with excellent graphics and exhillerating gameplay but what really makes this game is the multiplayer and how you can download games like DotA and battle tanks. I highly recommend this for all who love RTS games and mythological worlds.

If I could only own one game..... this is it. (2008-12-09)
The real gem in this package is "The Frozen Throne". Sure the Campaigns are really fun and well done;but, the online play is what really shines. If you have a decent internet connection, you can sign onto Blizzard's Battle Net and play against players all over the world for free. Thousands of players are ready to take you on in solo matches or with partners in 2v2, 3v3 or 4v4 games.
For nearly 3years I have played this game almost on a nightly basis. I am a leader in a top-rated clan where I can meet up with my clan-mates and game.
If you need a change from the ordinary game, you can always play one of the free custom games based on "The Frozen Throne" like Battleship Pro, footmen frenzy, footmen vs grunts, tower defense, or the fantastic custom called DOTA { Defense of the Ancients" ([...])

Go check out some game footage on [....]
Get it now.

Works On Intel Imac (2006 - 24") OSX (2008-11-25)
Great Game. Runs Great. I'm a Mac Gamer (AND XBOX360 GAMER!!! WOO!!!) so I just wanted to let everyone know it runs perfectly.

I LOVE THIS GAME (2008-10-24)
Warcraft 3 is the best. I've been playing it forever and I lost my copy, so I bought the Battle Chest instead. I didn't realize it came with a players guide, so that was cool. DOTA RULEZ
