My hopes were short lived however, I must admit the more I play this game the more I like it. It is vast, and the easy, normal, hard settings make for a challenging game or an easy one.
Playing a quick game in the cell stage is a fun way to pass 15 - 30 minutes.
Spore allows the player to develop a species from a microscopic organism to its evolution into a complex animal, its emergence as a social, intelligent being, to its mastery of the planet and then finally to its ascension into space, where it interacts with alien species across the galaxy. Throughout the game, the player's perspective and species change dramatically.
