See Spore in 5 screenshots

See Spore in 5 screenshots, from the Cell phase to Space.

Recently, I had the chance to play around with Spore, Sims creator Will Wright's much-anticipated game that lets you experience your own brand of evolution. Spore essentially lets players play god, evolving creatures from the cell (tide pool) phase, eventually bringing them to land and evolving civilizations to space and beyond. This was the second time I played around with the game, and I spent most of my play time with the creature creator, which was great fun. It reminded me of the simple constructive fun that you get from playing with LEGOs or action figures.

The Cell Phase
The cell phase teaches you to adapt to your environment, and essentially, survive. Mods like sharp teeth can help devour prey, and flippers or propellers can aid swimming. With so many options, each creature is bound to be incredible different.

The Creature Phase
When you emerge from the tide pool, you can either create your own creature or choose one from the potentially millions creature by other Spore players. Once you do select a creature, you can either prey on others or make friends by learning to mimic other creatures.

The Tribal Phase
Once you reach the Tribal Phase, things begin to get more complex. You're done evolving your creature, and now you can give your tribe tools, weapons and more. Food is the main currency in the Tribal Phase, and you can interact with other tribes.

The Civilization Phase
The Civilization Phase is the first time you'll see your Spore world as a whole. Here, you'll be creating and managing cities, and can view your planet from Space. A building editor is the main creator in this phase.

The Space Phase
The Space Phase is all about space colonization. There are missions and goals that revolve around exploring and expanding the universe.Eventually, space travel with become the main mode of transportation, and apparently the universe is absolutely huge!

Man, that universe must be huge, so this game could possibly have a bigger universe/map than Fallout 3
