Description
From the very tiniest forms of life to the intergalactic level of existence, you are in control of life itself in this simulation game by Will Wright. Beginning in the primordial ooze, players create a character from DNA that will grow, survive, and mate as it evolves from a single-celled organism to a fully-formed member of an establishing species. As more and more creatures inhabit the world, and as evolution forms the future, your species will join herds, clans, even civilizations. The more advanced the creatures of the planet grow, the more complex the strife of survival becomes. And while the player can continue gameplay in Spore at any level -- playing as a cell, as a wild creature, or as a civilized and organized society – players can also step even further out and play the game from the planetary or interstellar level, while also going online to connect worlds with other gamers.

Special Features
  • A suite of flexible, intuitive creation tools leverages the creative imagination of the player. Creating an entire universe of creatures, plants, buildings, vehicles and planets has never been so easy or so fun. An infinite variety of design choices is just the beginning.
  • The world you explore is populated with creatures, plants, buildings and vehicles developed by other gamers and downloaded from a central database. The server chooses creatures and civilizations that best match your chosen environment, your experience level, and your creature's ability. In turn, your creatures are uploaded to the server to be shared with other gamers.
  • With procedural animation, your creatures and vehicles move based on how you construct them. They behave and interact based on your input and by their in-game encounters. That means there's no pre-determined path you must follow - the game evolves based on your decisions.
  • Wonder what another gamer was thinking when they created and evolved a creature? Uncover information about each creature's origin in the Sporepedia, yet another way to explore the truly endless universe of creative expression that is Spore.

      The game makes use of a draconian DRM (digital rights management) system! Each copy can only be installed a total of three times (this is especially important on Ebay as the used game you are getting may not have any installations left at all). After the three you can call EA to try to reset your activations, they are under no obligation to do so. In addition, the game installs with SecuROM, a controversial copy protection product. I would encourage all users to research this product before purchasing spore.

      Spore has a large issue. It has a very restrictive software protection scheme. EA has decided that you only need to install it three times, then you need to talk to them on the phone and copnvince them you're not really a pirate. How long they'll support it in this manner is anyone's guess. Buyer beware, if you purchase this software while this is still in place, you will not be able to play it indefinately. There will come a day when you will no longer be able to install the software you ligitamately purchased, because it will not believe you and EA will have dropped support.
