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 CREATURE CREATOR

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

What's the Point? (2009-03-15)
I bought this game because I've been a SIMS addict/Will Wright fan and a review in "Time" made Spore sound like the most wonderful game to ever be created. It was okay the first go-round creating my character and I successfully navigated the evolutionary time-line to space travel. But doing all that once was enough. No point it bothering to replay. Really NOT worth the price of admission.

Meh (2009-03-14)
The first part of the game was a blast: Swimming around in the ocean, eating other little bugs, then moving on land. But the tribal and later phases were just... stupid. The interface is impossible, the story arc is non-existent.

Sucked (2009-03-12)
Spore sucked. I could write pages about why I think this, but I won't.

Snorefest (2009-03-11)
I got it. Played it for an hour. Haven't gone back. It's so boring it should be criminal.

DRM killed Spore! (2009-03-08)
I'd give this game a minus three stars if I could. The Digital Rights Management on this game (ie: DRM or copy protection) is outrageous! Its one thing to protect your copyright, its something else again to punish the consumer for buying your product! Save your money.
