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.

Customer Reviews
Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - DRM is bad for legit users
Spore not only has a piece of software that runs in the background, but it only allows 3 installations EVER. The people out there that pirate games will find this a barely noticable speedbump on their way to pirating the game ANYWAY. The legit user that reloads PCs often is screwed.


Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - DO NOT BUY THIS GAME HUGE BUG PROBLEMS CRASHES
I was really enjoying this game, but then EA started releasing patches, and now it crashes like crazy. I've tried re-installing, which got rid of my saved games, and I've looked for tech. help to no avail. DO NOT BUY THIS GAME


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Lowered Expectations
Look everybody don't hang the team that put together Spore. Everyone was expecting them to reinvent the wheel and they didn't, they did something better, created a fun game. Spore does have flaws but when you have such an open ended game(as far as character creation is concerned) there are going to be issues. So take a breath and take in what you are experiencing. This is a rpg, rts, p&c adv., and a buch of other abbreviations rolled up into one. It is this diversity that makes this game great


Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - READ BEFORE BUYING.
So I recently bought Spore, after reading a bunch of negative reviews on Amazon. I played the Cell and Creature stages, which consist of basic and repetitive tasks. The Tribal Stage is a little better, but very basic. The whole alliance/warfare options, being your only options, sort of limit the game. The first four stages had endless potential, and I must day I was let down by the simplicity of these stages.

However, the space stage is the cat's meow, so to speak. The sheer detail and


Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Great for Kids; Adults? Not so much
My 9 y.o. son got this game for Xmas & absolutely loves it. I played because I was curious and needed a new game. The game is simple and boring for adults. It's awesome for kids and I highly recommended it for children because of simplified strategy and game play. My son likes all sorts of games from childrens' games to difficult strategy games (Medieval Total War) and he is in love with Spore. I gave the game the rating I did based on my own experience with the game.
