Spore is one of those games I’ve been looking forward to for quite some time. It has a ‘god game’ aspect with initially creating your creature and having it evolve. Eventually it will hit the city builder stage (a gamestyle I enjoy) and then the Civ-game, which is also a gamestyle I enjoy. Finally your creations venture off into space, in what I assume will be Gal Civ-like 4X game.
What makes it unique is that, while a single-player game, it will populate your world with the creatures of others, lending it a multiplayer aspect. The creature creator itself was released earlier this summer, and I spent some time playing with it. I don’t know how practical in-game any of my critters will prove, nor do I know how any of the ones I downloaded to my creator will be. It’s nifty though how easily you can take someone else’s creature into your game. The intent is to have creature-casts as well as buddy (and ignore) lists. It launches in one week, and I’m excited to see how it plays out!
