Spore (Nintendo DS, Windows, Mac)

great game, like sim city 4, but smaller and more about the figuring out how to stop being little stupid cells and become super orginizems

Spore is one of the best PC games to ever excist. You can build creatures, buildings, cells, almost anything. The violence is mild, and the only blood I saw in spore was when you stabbed cells with a spike, but the blood was purple. The only thing you need to be worried about is user created content. Which can be reported.

Its an an awesome game you don't need to worry

This game rocks! But in the tribe stage you fight with waepons like torches and other stuff.

Spore looked like a real good game in 2006! It was a deep, and interesting life simulator! Unfortunately, the finished product was none of these things. The game is essentially four half-baked mini-games and a somewhat entertaining sandbox at the end. The first stage is cell stage. You swim around eating stuff. That's it. Creature stage. You run around with ridiculously over-specialized creatures either befriending everyone or killing everyone. It's mindless DNA (XP) grinding. For this, the creature creator is almost fully cosmetic. Your creature has eight legs and eyes on it's back? It performs as if it were a human. Parts are based on stats that don't stack, so you could have a one-legged blob with a couple of stat parts that works exactly the same way as a humanoid creature would. In tribal stage, you either throw concerts with everyone or slaughter your foes until you are the only one left. In Civ stage, you see one of the laziest attempts at an RTS ever. In this stage, you run around preaching, buying, or killing. The end. Now, for the last stage, you have Space. This is actually a sort of OK stage. You fly around doing missions and exploring, which can be a good way to waste hours of potential productivity. Overall, Spore is just a collection of levels, with a mainly cosmetic set of editors. The add-on Galactic Adventures makes the game somewhat more tolerable, but the complexity limit for everything is unacceptable. On the technical side, many computers will be able to handle this game, but the big problem here is the DRM. You can only install this game 3 times. The DRM that enforces this is also a rootkit, which means that it latches on to your computer and can't be removed with anything short of a full wipe of your hard-drive. Since neither the manual nor game box inform the customer of this, EA is illegally installing a rootkit with this game, and in fact two class action lawsuits have been filed against the corporation. To sum everything up, the description for this game given by this website is completely wrong, the game is definitely not worth your money. There's a reason this game has a 4.6/10 aggregate user score on Metacritic.

now,Cookiedude,Safety,YOU CANT TALK TO ANYONE,ITS A SINGLE PLAYER ONLY GAME!!!!!Both my kids play it,my daughter has gotten to the center of the galaxy,and my son has taken about half of the Grox.10 out of 10

the game is any way you like. Don't want you kid to kill that creature tell him or her that. the games all about choices. good ones of bad ones can be made

Great game! A bit violent when you eat creatures, but this is outweighed by ease of play and consequences for certain action.

I played this game and loved it!!! you can barley see blood very educational no sex and barley any violence but the violence is for kids under 5 to copy the violence
