'Spore': The evolution of gaming

Spore has landed, and the long-awaited video game brings with it an evolutionary shift in how players interact with - and help create - games. The title, in development for more than four years with The Sims creator Will Wright at the helm, breaks new ground in several ways. For starters, Spore (out this week for Windows and Macintosh computers, $50; special edition $80) takes the "god game" genre to extremes with players guiding single-cell organisms through the entire evolutionary process from land creatures to galactic explorers.

Spore

A really, really fun game. I love it. Unfortunately, some of the sections are short and not overly varied. Personally, I struggled to get my creature into a different classifications. Sometimes, it's pretty hard.

The online content is pretty good though. Some real quality stuff that I sure couldn't make on my own.

This game looks like a game I was designing for many years but could not complete. There were to many rules for table top and I didn't have an entire company behind me to program my brain child into existence. It still falls way short of the game I envisioned but, o well.

I was wondering if anyone could comment on wether or not there is a monthly fee and if it is compatable with windows 7. I have gone on their website and am very interested in this game. However I can't seem to find this information.

I don't know anything at all about an online version of the game. I have played the game quite a lot on my laptop running Vista, so I doubt there is a problem with Windows 7.

I cannot find anything about an online or subscription service. It is just a single computer game, and you can share your creations with others.

When Spore came out I was forced to play it because of all the rave reviews but then I became really disappointed - Spore sucks big time! I think this was made for kindergarten. The mini games lead up to a poor ending that leaves you thinking if that was what all the excitement was about.

This did fall a little short of my expectations. I think companies really hurt themselves by false advertising. Way to often I find myself being disappointed by a game or movie that I thought was something completely different than what was advertised.

I remember when Pokemon Snap came out, the commercial showed a boy creeping around the woods with a camera surprising pokemon and getting their picture. In the actual game you are stuck in a train car thing and go down a track while pokemon pop up in the scenery. Man that was a bummer, I was expecting to be walking around in the wilderness tracking elusive creatures.

For this game I think the company advertised a blurry concept of what the game was and released images that led one to imagine it a lot different than it actually plays.
