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. SPORE CREATURE CREATORFinally all that hard work creating the perfect being can be put to good use. Import creatures that you created with the Spore Creature Creator and watch them live, breath and thrive in the full version of Spore.

 Don't care about the DRM -- This game is just not fun September 8, 2008
Everyone else seems to be complaining about the DRM. Yes, being treated like I'm 12 sucks (and it's not stopping piracy -- this game has been cracked for days now), but I'm not going to let that ruin the game for me.
Unfortunately, there's not much game to ruin. This game is about as shallow as it possibly can be. It's fun to mess around in the editors for 15 minutes, but the rest of the game can be completed in less than 6 hours, and unlike other open-ended games there's no reason to come back. Even during that 6-hour period, the game is tedious. Every stage involves doing the same thing over and over 5-40 times until you reach the next one. Yawn.
A decent game let down by DRM September 8, 2008

The DRM made me feel dirty buying the game, knowing that i might potentially lose something i rightfully bought just because of several reinstalls. But I wanted the game that badly. I waited for eons for it.
And ultimately, it's a good game. Not great. Probably because of the overhype. I played simearth eons ago and this game comes closest to updating on that. Still, it feels like EA was trying to placate gamers from both casual and hardcore ends of the spectrum; and in the end the game feels shallow. It could have been so much more.
It's not too late to save the game, maxis. release those expansions and make each phase deeper than what it is.
it's like civ+LBP... for babies September 8, 2008

This game is way too easy and way too simple and way too boring. it's for babies or soccer moms.
 Hardcore gamers need not apply September 8, 2008

This game is nothing short of revolutionary in ways I can't even express. There are literally hundreds of hours of gameplay and the replay value is infinite. However, hardcore gamers will not be impressed. It is more like a toy than a game -- there is little to no penalties for dying, for example. If that describes you, go back to playing your FPS or favorite MMORPG. This is not for you. But for the rest of us -- well-worth your time.
Don't treat your customers like you don't want them anywhere near your product. September 8, 2008

The DRM system being used in this game is an utter deal breaker and ruins an otherwise solid title by abusing the good faith relationship between a paying customer and publisher.
