| '''Spore''' is a god game by Maxis and designed by Will Wright that allows the player to control the evolution of a species from its beginnings as a multicellular organism, through development as a sapient and social land-walking creature, to levels of interstellar exploration as a spacefaring culture. The game has drawn wide attention for its massive scope, and its use of open-ended gameplay and procedural generation.
| |
| Spore was released on September 4, [[2008]] in Australia, September 5 in Europe, and September 7 in North America. To promote the game, the Creature Creator portion was released separately as [[Spore Creature Creator]]. Two spin-offs were released around the same time as the main game: [[Spore Creatures]] for the [[Nintendo DS]], and [[Spore Origins]] for the [[iPod]], [[iPhone]], and [[mobile|mobile phones]]. There is also a [[Wii]] spin-off called [[Spore Hero]], released on October 6, [[2009]]. An [[expansion pack]] was released recently called [[Spore: Galactic Adventures]].

| ==Stages==
| | '''Spore''' is a simulation computer game designed by Will Wright that is currently in development by Maxis to be published by EA Games. Wright has a history of designing innovative, successful games like The Sims and SimCity, and Spore appears likely to continue that trend. It is remarkable both for the innovative technology of the game design, as well as the expansive range of sci-fi game play. |
| Spore allows players to create their universe by evolving a creature through five stages.
| | |
| * '''Cell'''. Your creature is a cell that has just emerged from a crashed comet. Advance by eating food and avoiding predators.
| | Spore is, at first glance, an evolution game: the player molds and guides a creature across many generations of evolution, until it becomes intelligent, at which point, the scope of the game expands to encompass a broader range of social evolution. This is achieved by first giving the player control over a lone creature (designed by the player him/herself) until the creature begins a tribe of his own, at which point a tribal real-time strategy aspect is incorporated into the game by war with other tribes. The player then begins molding and guiding his creature's society into a space-faring civilization, where the player and his creatures begin to colonize other planets and eventually control a galactic empire. |
| * '''Creature'''. Having come out of the ocean, land is the next frontier, make friends with other species or make food of them. Upgrade your abilities and earn enough points to get to the next stage.
| | |
| * '''Tribe'''. Control a society of creatures and interact with other tribes by attacking or befreinding them. Once you've taken control of five tribes, you advance to the next level.
| | Maxis currently has approximately 70 developers working on Spore, most earning six-figure salaries. It will take an estimated US$30 million to develop the game. |
| * '''Civilization'''. The goal is to unite your planet through one of three methods. Conquer your rivals, convert them or simply buy them out.
| |
| * '''Space'''. You've reached the stars but that isn't the end. There's so much to do in space interact with other empires or simply create your own planets. For players that reach the center of the galaxy, there's a special surprise waiting for them.
