Quick summary

Spore is a fun game that allows you to create your own world, creatures, vehicles, and more. If you like to create, or love the challenge of a diverse game, you will love Spore.

High points

Love the cell phase - it's beautiful & instantly wows you! Love the creature creating tools and ability to share them with friends.

Low points

Digital rights management kind of sucks (don't want extra things running on my computer). Also find the civilization stage to be a bit cumbersome, but it may be because I'm not used to that type of game.

In-depth comments

Spore is a great game. It's a great way to gain a new perspective on evolution & science. I enjoy experimenting with different creatures & matching them up against each other. Spore should be fun going forward.
