- RichPowers, on 07/02/2008, -1/+28I saw Will Wright demo the full game at the S.F. Apple Store last week and was totally amazed.
The vehicle editors look even more fun than the creature creator. Wright was making all sorts of crazy *****, like a treaded ground vehicle with rocket engines and a pirate ship with a steamboat paddle wheel. As he navigated the Sporepedia menus, we caught a glimpse of his personal space vehicle collection, which included the Space Battleship Yamato and some Apollo-era stuff.
The best part of the demo: his religious city (you can be military, economic, or religious) sent a vehicle to convert the neighboring city. The vehicle then projected a giant hologram of his creature giving a televangelist-like speech. This intimidated and awed the neighboring city and it was converted.
A close second is the creature creator during the City/civilization phase. It allows you to add funny accessories like derby hats, mustaches, Roman helmets, and body armor to your creatures.
Spore is like an RTS/4X game more than anything. As someone who really wants to like enjoy games like Civilization and Galactic Civ, but finds them too complex, Spore's "4X-lite" mode will prove very entertaining. - vondrak, on 07/01/2008, -2/+24I'm trying incredibly hard to not get over hyped about this game but I'm finding that impossible. It sounds amazing.
- Jordan117, on 07/02/2008, -1/+21You're an amoeba.
You eat things. You grow spikes and cilia. You run from viruses. You evolve into a fish.
You're a fish.
You eat plankton. You grow arms and legs. You walk onto the land.
You're an animal.
You hunt smaller animals. You run from bigger animals. You have "procedural mating"... with jazz. You reproduce into a tribe.
You're a tribe.
You hunt and gather. You discover fire. You build a village.
You're a village.
You build city walls. You design every building. You launch raids onto neighboring tribes. You invent technology.
You're a nation.
You build vehicles. You build aircraft. You build nukes. You make war and trade. You conquer every city on the planet.
You're a global empire.
You invent space travel. You build colonies on other planets. You terraform planets. You discover an interstellar drive.
You're a galactic race.
You interact with alien cultures. You build galactic alliances... or empires. You befriend some worlds. You blow up others. You conduct bizarre genetic experiments. You explore the entire galaxy. You conquer the entire galaxy.
You are God.
You create an amoeba...
Just 66 days and change, people... - skizzy, on 07/02/2008, -1/+15Its in beta?
- paradexes, on 07/02/2008, -0/+6I can already see alot of things being mimicked both well and poorly. BattleStar Gallactica, Star Trek, Star Wars, etc. It will be pretty cool to see all that....and the ships attacked by giant penis monsters in space.
- smmakira, on 07/01/2008, -3/+7Yeah the creature creator kept my busy a while but I want more!
- inactive, on 07/02/2008, -0/+4You have created a penis monster.
- gummih, on 07/02/2008, -0/+3I'll take that bet
- jblanch, on 07/02/2008, -0/+3Spore: still just a video game
- gimmeslack12, on 07/02/2008, -3/+6I swore that SimCity 2000 was my last sim. ever. Just didn't have the time to commit. I'm pretty sure Spore will change my mind finally....dammit.
- Gizza, on 07/02/2008, -0/+2Just think about the Securom and EA, that lowers the hype for me a whole bunch.
- Azuroth, on 07/02/2008, -0/+2You know, at first I wasn't gonna buy Mass Effect because of Securom and the 10 day activation scheme. But then they dialed it down to only once (per hardware config) so I bought it. If I didn't have my firewall set to aggressive mode, I wouldn't even have known it called out, and I don't have to keep the dvd in the drive to play. I think I'm ok with Securom as it currently stands.
- adasha, on 07/02/2008, -0/+2Why isn't it September already? I must have this game!
- Rotzooi, on 07/02/2008, -2/+4Spore: Intelligent Design, The Game
- franciscofelipe, on 07/02/2008, -0/+2it happened to me... i just downloaded the missing file and put it where the other directX .dll's were... try it.

http://cleansecolonnow.info - deaftly, on 07/02/2008, -1/+2Hype is going to kill this poor game
- MadEyeMary, on 07/03/2008, -0/+1Amazing. I don't agree with the hype killing the game. Will Wright has a lot of genius up his sleeve, and how could you get bored with more 3D models in-game than exist in the rest of the world?!
- lAmoebal, on 07/02/2008, -0/+1So I am.
- handheldchimp, on 07/02/2008, -3/+4$10 says no video game will ever be made after this is released, as everybody, including developers of video games, will be playing Spore.
- M724, on 07/02/2008, -2/+2I'm sure at least 25% of all Spore creatures will be penis monsters, with another 20-30% creatures emphasizing pervert-attracting body parts (male and female.)

karcianki, planszówki, logiczne - solidcube, on 07/02/2008, -1/+1When I see videos or read about this game, I feel a sensation that's kind of like needing to rub one out. It's the second coming of christ (or would be, if I actually consummated the deed, and was Christ which I am very much not.)
If Spore is terrible I will poison myself. - wonderbriefs, on 07/02/2008, -3/+2Okay, so far I've been feeling left out because it seems that the creature creator demo doesn't work with DirectX 10. I keep getting error messages about DirectX 9 files being missing, but I'm like, "well yeah, I have DX10. WTF?" Anybody know if there's a way around this. I'm sure the full version will work fine, but I want fun NOW.
- Shirly, on 07/02/2008, -4/+3No penis monters. No buy.
- SyntraFTW, on 07/02/2008, -5/+2Not spore without Penis Monsters, tbh.
- StanleyKoolPrik, on 07/02/2008, -9/+2Spore is spunk.
