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.

I loved the game:
My brother recommended this game from my daughter for our 15 hour drive home. I installed it on my laptop and played it to be sure it was child appropriate and got addicted. It's FUN! No, it is not some highly involved RPG game but I'm not into those games anyway. I'm now going to have to buy the extension packs! I guess it all has to do with what type of game you like. Usually, I agree with users reviews on Amazon but not on this one.
Great Innovation, Poor Game:

The entire game can be completed in less than an hour, after you reach the space age you just fly in circles doing random boring 'go to place x and get y' missions, if you seek to be friends with a neighboring planet; if you want to... more info
This game rocks!!!!:
Ok, let me start by saying this. This game rocks!!!! I mean, has there really ever even been a game created that's so different as this one is. To be able to create your own alien civilization(of coarse, after you complete the other stages)is just mind blowing! So far, I'm on the civilization stage of the game and have had a lot of fun. I'm excited to move on to the space stage and be able to explore other player created content. Also, the customization is implemented very well! And to all the people having... more info
Spore is unlimited:
You start at stage one, the cell stage. Then you evolve all the way to space stage and make your way to the center of the galixy. You have no limits to your creativity and ability in this game even though you have only three computer activations. But it is not like you are going to play the game on more then three computers. In this game you can have three diets: herbavore, carnivore, and omnivore, that will change your evolution througe the game. All in all there are five stages in the game: cell,... more info
