I first played this game at the Leeds music festival, as it was set up in the EA tent as a demo. I was immediatley hooked and kept playing, even though a large queue had built up behind me - but I didn't care. This game's player options are nearly endless, giving literally millions of different creature combinations. If you can think of it, you can make it on this game. The creatures are even animated and move about realistically. After you have finished making your creature you can upload them to a central server which stores all of the creatures created by Spore users. Many hours can be spent looking at the best, and the very worst, of what ...  Read the complete review

Spore was hyped up to be a ground breaking and original game, so much so that it apparently did not fit into any category. It isn't just a sim game, it has so much different things. I am also not sure who this is aimed for, parts are extremely childish and other parts aren't. The aim of the game is to make your create grow and evolve and then you will move to a different environment (eg. you start in the see and eventually evolve and move on to land). The game play isn't difficult at all, and it is maybe a little repetitive. You basically go around eating and fighting things to grow bigger and evolve. What is really ...  Read the complete review

The first few days of owning Spore equated to me ignoring any other responsibility except basic and necessary bodily functions. Now that things have died down a bit, I can see the game for what it is. So what is it? Ambition that's almost achieved. So let's begin. The Cell phase was instant fun, and although it felt entirely like a casual game, I was charmed all the way through its short game time (you can run through this phase in less than an hour). Creating your cell seems limited, but it makes sense as well, given that mother nature had very little to play with in this portion of history. What is disappointing, however, is that you only have 6 unlockables ...  Read the complete review

If you are hardly waiting waiting for the Spore to be released in September do not worry EA games released Spore creature creator, a teaser game, something you absolutely must have. So this is a pre game giving you an insight on some part of what Spore is all about. It is a game made from creators of Sims a game I am sure you are all familiar of, so there is nothing less to be expected than perfection from this game. This is a creative and in a way simulation game. You get to design your own creature and set it in a small environment to see how it acts. So you start up wit a blue mass levitating in the air. Inside that mass you see some ...  Read the complete review

After being a huge fan of the Sims games when I heard about the hype that surrounded the new Spore game, I was immediately intrigued and thought I would investigate! So, I purchased the game and got to playing it, within the first 5 minutes I was hooked. It was literally one of the best games that I'd played in ages, there were unlimited options and creatures for me to create. There are different levels that you have to work through when playing the game and you can give your creatures different looks and characteristics. This all adds up and ensures that there are thousands of different combinations that you can make. There is also an expansion pack available for ...  Read the complete review
