Spore finally sprouts

September 13, 2008 · Filed Under Entertainment, mo30dc2008 

It seems like it’s been at least 2 full years since I first heard about this game called Spore. Finally, earlier this month, it hit the shelves.

Spore is a game created by the guy who created The Sims. In this game you start off as a tadpole, eat a bunch of food, grow, evolve and then move to land. Once on land you eat a bunch of food, grow, try to make friends to expand your pack and evolve some more. Eventually you build civilizations and take off in to space as well. I’m nowhere near that level yet. As a matter of fact, I haven’t even been able to make friends with any of the other species yet. I’m getting pretty good at attacking and eating them, though.

At each stage you get to edit your creatures. The edit tools are quite robust. I could see spending hours in that section alone. Several months before the game was released, they gave out some copies of the creature creator. Apparently some people started creating walking naughty bits. Apparently they started getting really good at creating them and they started showing up on flickr and youtube. The game makers scrambled to get the offending content down.

Another portion of the game that I have yet to get to is the ability to interact with creatures built by other people. I’m sorta hoping i run in to some of the adult content these people created. I think it would be funny to be running around and find a large set of boobs walking around hunting for food.

It’s too early to give a complete review of the game. I’ve been playing it for about 90 minutes and so far it’s pretty fun. There’s still a lot to figure out. But, I guess that’s what Sunday is for.

Here’s a snapshot of what my creature has evolved into so far.

Anybody else out there playing Spore? My account name is VegasGeek. Add me as a friend in the game so we can team up and take over the world.
