The game has a wonderful interface and is very easy to learn. It also moves at a good pace. It is much easier to play than most strategy games making great for young gamers.

Great to play, not so educational
It's a wonderful game that gives an example on how life could have evolved, but the education is very iffy. First off, evolution doesn't happen every time you dance under a circle of hearts, you cant choose what mouth you have, and well, you cant just grow 6 arms in 5 minutes. Of Course, I absolutely love the game. It's fun, cool and it's a fun game. It's a great "God Game"

GREAT!
Great game, when it first came out i was hoping for a little more than it gave me but it is still great! There is nothing bad about it exept for a little blood.

Great game, but the hype is wrong
Will Wright's "Spore" is a good addition to the library of games he's "created" The story is all created by you besides cutscenes between levels. You control a small microorganism in the first level, eventually growing lungs and going unto land. Here you can make alliances, hunt other animals and mate. The violence is cartoonish in nature with no blood, so no worries there. As for the "mating" it's just the two creatures dancing under a thing of hearts. Eventually, you pass the tribal and civil stages to get to the Space Stage, where the game really excells. You can explore planets, make alliances, have wars or buy and sell planets, the eventual goal being to go to the Galactic Center. Overall a great game with exellent content creators and online sharing. However, the game is almost shallow compared to it's earlier demoes. Still, a great game.

Fantastic!
I love spore. It is so addicting, fun and awesome, that you can't stop playing it! The game has some violence, blood and a little bit of gore, but it all lives in the chain of life. Players can eat other creatures, which shows the gore.

Fun, but it's not science!
It is an amzing game, but unlike many its because of it's creative value. What it lacks in its simple gameplay it more than makes up for in its creators. I, however, do not think it represents science, and they should stop talking about how its so scientific, and start showing off the creators! Violence: In cell stage, there is watered down blood, but you can play through without harming anyone. In creature stage, you can hunt, but its not very violent. In tribal stage, you can fight with spears, axes and fire, but no blood. In civilization stage, you fight with vehicles, but you can see panicked citizens in the cities under attack. In space stage, you can kill cities, tribes, and even individual creatures. Sex: Dancing under hearts, and some hippies mentions pregnancy. Langauge: None. Social Value: You can be peaceful, or violent. Eduacational Value: No science as you mentioned ther was. Commerciallism: None, but the CEO of EA has mentioned an interest in ingame advertising. Drugs and alchohal(sp): None.

This game is absolutely wonderful! But when I try to use the outfit designer, the game crashes. I cannot play this game anymore, becuase when I try to load or start a new game, it instantly crashes--even though I have a top of the line $8,000 gaming computer. This game is all about evolution, so I think it has a great ed. value. I give this a 5/5, even though I can't play it ever again.
