Spore: You can be a winner in the game of life!
As is the case with all of Will Wright's games, Spore is immense in every sense of the word: in terms of scope, ambition and length, the game reaches for and, for the most part, meets its lofty goals. It's an incredibly innovative title that attempts to chart life itself from its infantile beginning to its end. And yet, much like life itself, it's not exactly perfect. It has some issues that keep it from fully tapping into its vast potential but it's still one of the most original and interesting titles to come out in this or any other year.

THE BOTTOM LINE: Spore is a good game held back from greatness by a few flaws and gameplay mechanics that won't appeal to everyone. But there is plenty to like about the game and if you dig its particular style of open-ended gameplay, you'll definitely enjoy yourself.

Spore Dosen't live up to Expectations
When I first got spore I was excited because everyone said it was a good game. But for me it wasn't. The only fun stages of the game were the creature stage and the space stage.
