Exploring the Spore Galaxy

Well, this game was a major surprise! It was the most anticipated game of the year and beleive me, I understand why! 

You start the game by creating a small cellular organizm. You pick it's diet, carnivor or herbivore, and off you go in the Tidepool of this newly livable planet. There are tons of other cells out there so the competition is fierce. You have to eat to accumulate DNA points and add body parts to your little organizm. As you advance in the game, your creature becomes more and more complex and eventually you evolves legs. It goes on like this with tons of explorations, interaction with other creatures and little missions to gather more DNA points. From the cell stage, you go the the Creature stage, then the Tribal stage, Civilization stage and then the Space stage. You get to create buildings, vehicules, space ships... And share your greations with the entire Spore community. 



The game is very will created. Your creatures can sing, dance, strike a pose, roar...The only thing I find a bit negative is that it doesn't take long and to evolve from one stage to another, not giving you much time to explore the possibilities of that stage.

The graphis are wonderfull, the possibilities of creatures to create are limitless...it really is an amazing game, with hours and hours of unique game play! 





After playing for a week, I have to give this game a big 5. The makers of The Sims and SimCity have impressed me again! A wave of applause to EA Games.
