Strangely this reminds me of Deus Ex Machina for the Speccy.

Who will buy my beautiful spore?
See what I did there?

No? Oh never mind.
Seven years is a rather long time, I hope it's worth it!

The Cell stage of Spore sounds an awful lot like flOw to me...

Anyway, the game sounds terrific fun so I put my pre-order in months ago. I've a feeling that this will be one of this year's most essential games... it's certainly a very interesting concept.

Sounds like 5 separate 'games' that are like existing games.. pacman, settlers, civilisation etc..
i worry that each 'part' is not deep enough. And that the 'creator' is most of the game.

FYI, couple of typos in the article - page one has "life seeded from outer spare", page three has "to change the atmosphere of a word".

Thanks for the gameplay details!

One question - is it possible to get to the space phase and then exterminate every other life form in the galaxy? My rabid inner xenophobe hopes so.

This looks like a huge amount of fun.

Definitely on my buy list now.

Sadly that will probably take years of playing. Have you seen the amount of planets in the galaxy?

I've got about 50-60 years of life left. More if Ray Kurzweil's singularity happens and we both get turned into mighty cyborgs. That should be enough time to sterilise a galaxy.

I am sharing the concerns about the longevity (I doubt it's CIV IV in that respect), but I am sure it will be a ton of fun for enough hours to make it worth every penny. That comic-con video has entirely sold it to me (sorry if I am repeating myself here). :)

@ mingster I have your same fears too.

I pre-ordered it a while ago but, as with the Sims this game will never end.

This'll really hit its peak when it becomes a proper online game. Still looking fantastic. Just wish it worked on Tiger. :(

Those worried about the depth of each section should check out the comic-con footage. Yeah, it looks like Civ-lite, but given the variety in the game I really don't think that'll be a problem. Imagine it'd be a total headache controlling a galactic empire otherwise.

So there are no enemies in the final stage? It's interstellar simcity rather than sins of a spore empire?

There's plenty of violence to be had. It's just nice that for those of us who liked to build stuff, there's a lot to do. :)

Have it pre-ordered since I got the Creature Creator. Definitely sounds like it'll be a lot of fun. Especially designing the buildings, vehicles and space ships. :D

Any thoughts on whether the gameplay would diverge significantly with differently designed creatures?

Looks prety cool, but the gameplay at each stage does seem quite shallow having watched the cc vid. The space stage doens't seem to have much rts style tactics to it, though i could be wrong..?

Unfortunately, you're spot on. It reminds me of The Movies... the creation is the fun part, the game tagged onto it is shallow as hell.
