Spore (Mac/PC DVD)

I've recently played this game despite it being out for quite a while! This game has to be one of the most imaginative games ever created in ever such a long time, the possibilities are quite simply endless in the sense that what ever you do will have an impact on how the game starts and ends! The game is brilliant for young minds growing up as it helps them to think not only for themselves but for the other creatures in the game, and even their own race of creature they've made! Perfect, Fun and slightly educating! *****5 stars every time Don't bother saying no to it just because people have made it a low majority of stars! Believe me, it's addictive and so worth buying! and no other place on the net does it cheaper ;D Eliot Ruben (most legit review)

Hype can be good and bad, good to get people aware of the game and looking forward to it, bad if the hype exceeds what the game delivers in the end. Spore is a victim of its hype, but to just then write it off completely because of that does it a disservice. I have not played a game I have enjoyed in a long time, these days there all just clones of first person shooters and real time strategy games. I don't want shinny new graphics overlaid on top of the games I had 10 years ago, I want something new or failing that at least something fun or interesting, spore delivers in these respects. It's the first time in over 2 and a bit years I have enjoyed a game and even made me laugh. I would rather play a game that lasts me a few days and I actually found fun and interesting then a game that takes weeks that felt like I had played it before and am just going through the motions to get through to the end of the story. I am aware that there are things in spore which are utilized from those past 10 years but it just has something about it, how its been designed and brought together that adds a sparkle to it, makes it interesting and fun for a change. I also don't believe this game is going to get its full potential for me as I'm 24 years old. I think this game is going to be even more exciting and provide more game playing time for 12 year olds, the kind that when The Sims first came out brought it and made it one of the worlds's best selling games. Spore is more like Lego and Playdoh put together but in 3D, where you put all the blocks together and create something yourself and then pit it against the other things you have made till you are left with 1 of them destroyed and one of them headless which rolled under the sofa. Aimed at ages 12 and up, not 20 and up sadly. This is not a game for someone out of there teens looking for that in-depth, web-based, number calculation, galactic civilization, bounty hunter, rogue trader, role playing type of game with intuitive interface made 3D. It is a kids game, where they get to do a little bit of all the above to keep things moving and to give them something to do but primarily its to allow them to goof off and have some fun making silly monsters and evolving them to fly around the galaxy. In this respect spore is a brilliant game, it just needs to be taken for what it is, not for what people thought it should have been. Because of all this I'm giving it 5 stars for fun, no matter how short the experience was and 4 stars over all because I'm not 12 anymore to fully enjoy it for a long period of time, which is my problem, not the games.

i am a late (very late indeed) adopter of this game. Just bought it recently (in 2011!!!!! i know!) and totally love it. I was put off by the DRM issue when it first came out in 2008 and I am glad I revisited the thought of buying the game! I have always been a big fan of customisable avatars in games and there is really tones of customisation to play with in Spore, from cell stage to creature stage. The tribal/civilisation/space stage customisation is a bit limited in term of the clothing/gears you can choose from, and the creature stops evolving once it reaches the tribal stage. Much has been said about the game play, i just want to emphasise again that each stage is unique with the space stage being the most in depth of all. it's like having 4 mini games (cell, creature, tribal, civilisation) and a big game (space). Since you can literally create any creature in any way your imagination takes you, the replyability value is very high! the best game of the year 2011 (at least for me) :)

Bon jeu

Man kann aus vielen im ersten Moment obskuren Elementen ein Lebewesen neu erschaffen. Sehr gut finde ich, dass man die Entwicklung vom einfachsten zum intelligenten Lebewesen gut mitverfolgen kann. das Spiel ist für jeden empfehlenswert.

Prodotto che rispecchia quanto pubblicizzato e nei tempi previsti....il prodotto funziona perfettamente.Il gioco risulta molto educativo e divertente....coinvolge sicuramente la curiosità dei ragazzi e non solo.... Per il resto Amazon risulta affidabile e vantaggioso....

Like the title to my review states...this is a creative-imagination driven game, as it is game play. They give you everything you will need for each stage. You design and build your creature along the way as it grows into a more smarter, and capable creature. You start out as a microbe, and progress an improve upon your " critter " as it developes. You can check on Youtube for " how to " on all levels of the game. And how to extend an adjust limbs for ANY kind of critter. Eventually your critter will develop the ability to tribe, make fire, hunt, even war with other tribes. Once you master this, you move to where we currently are " civilized " city an nuclear capable. If you master this stage it comes to a fun stage- " Space....the final frontier,, these are the voyages of the...." you have creator modes for practicaly EVERYTHING. They provide colors, textues, and building tool that would RIVAL the Sims ( HENCE the " new " builder tools of Sims 4 THEY GOT THEM FROM SPORE ! ! THE TOOLS AREN'T NEW ! ) Spore is great ! I play it, when I am not playing my Sims 3. Give it a try...if you like the gsme, look for me, I am CassKORR-ria on Spore, hope you will make me a buddy and enjoy my creations. *** UPDATE- 03-09-15 Had several questions asked if Spore will work on Windows 8, 8.1 YES it will work..on SOME computer systems, you may have to SAVE your game, an RESUME say, after each developmental stage. I have to do this, myself once in awhile, IT DOES NOT BOTHER ME, I play the Sims 3 and with that game, you save an resume periodically as well. SUGGESTION ON SAVING; Shortly after your creature has made landfall, and you have added newer upgraded body parts ( eyes, mouths, limbs, etc ) THIS will keep you from losing ENTIRELY all your effort, should the game crash-usually in the event of your having died when you lost a fight, or an Epic ( giant monster creature ) kills you.

Grandson loves spore and all it’s parts. Makes multiple monsters very creative.
