User Rating: 9.5 | Spore PC
The long awaited spore is simply a masterpiece, every time you put it down you'll pick it back up again, just because there is infinite possibilities. Spore has 5 levels of depth, each step in the evolutionary time line sees your creature developing into a more sophisticated being. At any stage of the game you have the ability to edit and customize every part of your society. In creature stage you collect parts to make your creatures better, than later in space stage you collect buy and sell space artifacts and weapons to further your own selfish desires. There is just so much in spore to explain it is impossible to write it all down. You also have the ability to create an anthem for your society, buildings, plants, vehicles, customize weapons, acquire super weapons, outfit your civilization (with seriously awesome gear) and just about anything else you can think about. That is why there is always something to strive for in spore and, coherently, why there is so much replay value. You will never get bored with spore, with so much to do and create the game will always be worth its salt. Yes it's malleable, yes its cute and yes DRM holds it back, but it all adds to the awesome effect (and DRM only effects heavy internet users anyway so what is everyone complaining about? (unless you're a heavy internet user of course (in which case I'm sorry for your loss.).)). (Man, I just used a lot of brackets.)
Anyway, all in all, Spore is a must see adventure that will have you playing tens of hours for only 80 bucks now.
