Just as "The Sims" tapped into the human need to interact, Spore taps into a very deep and similar experience that few games dare to touch - to create and share.
Spore's triumph is painfully ironic. By setting out to instill a sense of wonderment at creation and the majesty of the universe, it's shown us that it's actually a lot more interesting to sit here at our computers and explore the contents of each other's brains. [October 2008, p.64]

The greatest piece of poop ever created, and i say that in the nicest way possible, this game never works, if youtab out the cursor will not be aligned anymore, if you click too fast after loading save it crashes, but its too fun

The customization of creatures, spaceships and buildings is amazing. A journey of evolution. One of the most unique games I've ever played. Different stages of history are different games, but they are all connected. It makes me understand more about our planet, our universe. It's a real work of art. I think this game is the 2001 Space Odyssey of video games.

PC The scope and scale of Spore is tremendous, bringing the story of life itself to gaming in a way that will not be replicated until a possible sequel.
Spore will leave you in a state of wide-eyed wonderment one minute, and disappointed the next. The limited online interaction and surprisingly short campaign make it easy to think about what could have been. The fact is, there’s no other game like it, and a lot of things that will be hated by some, will be just as liked by others.
Stunning, gigantic game with endless possibilities. Most powerful editors ever seen in any game. Spore is outstanding in technical terms, swift and nimble in the beginning. The only flaws on its perfect face are too simple civilization phase and bit tedious space exploration. [Sept 2008]
Spore’s creatures look terrific and the editor is one of the finest tool in gaming history. But Maxis forgot to build a game around it: The mixture of simulation and strategy just isn’t deep enough to attract more than a few hours attention. Instead of experiencing enthralling missions or a more intimate relation to your creature, you get shooed through five draggy phases of evolution.
Rather than match the freedom in the gameplay, however, Spore forces players to use their creations in a series of levels that are derivative and dull.

El juego es entretenido las primeras 2 ó 3 horas, cuando empiezas a configurar tus bichos, los vas avanzando y diseñando, pero en seguida, casi desde que pisas tierra, pierde interés y se hace tremendamente repetitivo. En su momento fue toda una hazaña pero para los estándares actuales no destaca nada más que por su editor de "personajes".
Toda una decepción, aunque es lo que habitualmente me pasa con todos los juegos de Maxis del siglo XXI

PC Summary From the mind of Will Wright comes SPORE, a journey that takes you from the origin and evolution of life through the development of civilization and technology and eventually all the way into the deepest reaches of outer space. Begin your odyssey at the dawn of life as a simple microbe just trying to survive, then use the fun, intuitive ...
