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.

 Thanks for the warning September 8, 2008

I was shocked to see only 1 star when I bought this for my iphone and it played great. Then I read the reviews. DRM is a violation of my god given usa constutional rights. Down with anyone or company that promotes them. I already got burned on too human. Thanks guys for preventing me from being departed again of my hard earned money. All you guys buy and iphone and enjoy their version of spore. This may cause me to give up video games. I already hate drm music and won't stand for it on games.
Good shooting guys.
 DRM is a Dealbreaker September 8, 2008

The DRM included by the publisher, Electronic Arts, insults the user by accusing them of a crime before a crime has been committed. For this reason alone, I cannot purchase this game.
 Fun Game September 8, 2008

I've had the game for about a day now and all in all it's a good time. The creature creator is fun and there are plenty of different options. I didn't really care for the 'cell' portion of the game but the rest has been a lot of fun.
Please note that this is a review about the game. Which is what every review on this page SHOULD be about. The quality of the game. By someone who has played it. Not some yahoo that "Was going to buy the game but you can forget about that now... here's my 1 star review".
What you're reviewing is the DRM. Not the game. That you didn't even play.
Don't buy until they're willing to sell it to you. For real. September 8, 2008

A great game by a great designer that's been reduced to a bad industry joke by the crippling DRM. Don't buy until they fix it.
Like a delicious sandwich wrapped in broken glass September 8, 2008

SPORE is like a delicious sandwich wrapped in broken glass.
It's not worth getting past the flawed packaging to get the
wonderful content.
No internet access? Sucks to be you.
Don't live in the US? Sucks again.
These people seriously seem to be driving people
who want to buy their product to piracy, plain and simple.
1. Incredibly worthless and complex DRM that ruins the
point of owning the game.
2. Content has been dumbed down to "SIMS 2" levels
where you can do no wrong, and requires no skills to do
anything meaningful.
