'''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]].

==Creations==
|ESRB=RP
Spore is completely made of player-made creations. Whenever something is created, it's uploaded and downloaded by other players. This is happening all the time you're online and playing Spore. What you can create includes.
}}
* '''Cells''':Cells can be created but aren't uploaded to the web.
* '''Creatures''': You can create them in one of two editors. An initial creature editor and an evolved creature editor.
* '''Outfits''': Outfits can be accessed in one of three editors corresponding to the tribe, civilization and space stage.
* '''Buildings''': Create city halls, houses, factories and entertainment buildings.
* '''Vehicles''': Create land, air and sea vehicles in economic, religious or military categories. In all nine separate editors.
* '''Spaceships''': No limits on this editor, with all the vehicle parts as well as some new spaceship parts, let your imagination run wild.
* '''Anthems''': An editor in the civilization stage and space stage, you can even create and save your own music.
* '''Plants''': A hidden editor in beta stage, you can access it by changing the shortcut parameters.


'''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.
