From the creators of The Sims comes Spore, where you evolve a single-celled organism into a galactic god whose personality and abilities are completely up to you. Then interact with other players' creatures-including ones made by celebrities! EA Games. PC/MAC, NDS.
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.

So, our return had nothing to do with the game, which my 12 year old loves. It has to do with the vendor who picked up a batch of cheap disks from someplace
One of the greatest gaming ideas ever ended in a total fail...:
Spore had some of the most potential a game has ever had. It was a game that was to accurately portray evolution and alien life.

Spore looked amazing, the scope of it, its flexibility, the creativity it would allow, the unexplored regions of gameplay it would expose.

Completely dumbed down and cartoony:

BSODs Galore:
My wife and son bought this against my recommendation. Game play aside, I knew from the reviews that it would be a challenge just to make this thing run. And I will be having my "I-Told-You-So" moments, shortly. I've spent hours trying to make thing thing work for my disappointed kid. I got past the first hurdle when I discovered that there was a conflict with the way the game phoned home, and the way K-9 allowed access to the internet for minors. After disabling K-9 just to get the game activated, it... more info
