Editorial Reviews

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.

DRM in EULA killed it for me!

Reviewed by Jeff Craig, 2010-03-07

I bought this for my daughter, but after reading the reviews (after I ordered-DOH!) I read about the DRM issues. After reading further reviews on CNET, I decided to cancel my order. While I am the first person to say that the creators need to be paid for their work, the use of this draconian DRM scheme is like using a neutron Bomb to control the mosquito population!

It wouldn't have worked anyway, because I don't have an 'always on' internet connection (hate paying the cable company when I can use my cell phone on my laptop).

The best game ever

This is the best computer game ever! the bad reviews are do to people not reading the system requirements. And then It won't play. The game itself is amazing. everything is made by you. So if your game gets boring then your imagination is to blame.

BUGS BUNNY

wow, this game is really annoying to install. I kept getting coded errors which I had to google to discover that these are issues long ago reported to EA and they dont seem to care to fix them. I finally got the game going fr my daughter and that lasted only a day, then it wouldnt start up again - can you believe thi? Are we supposed to wipe our hard drives clean and do a full system instal every time we want to play this game? I also dont want to waste my preciou time on hold with some snot from tech support who know ALOT less thanme about computers just to get some hegemonous reply that they will look into the issue and get ack to me, which they never will.

SO all in all a very disapointing experience with Spore. Dont buy it. ever. Too bad because it looks cute for a 9 year old.

Very Disappointed

This is the first computer game that I have gotten in years. It was a pleasure to play it for a couple of weeks. I installed the game on my laptop and desktop. After reinstalling the OS on my desktop and getting a new hard drive in my laptop after the old one took a dump I tried to reinstall the game. No good. After the installation limit of 3 was reached the DRM took over and now the game will not even open with my registration code. I even contacted EA and they were of no help. It is quite disappointing that a paying customer cannot play the game they purchased. Don't waste your money!
