Spore Review
Early reviews for Spore, the latest video game from Sim City and The Sims creator Will Wright, have been primarily positive. It was awarded a perfect score by G4 TV and was highly praised by critics from IGN Australia, PC Gamer and GameSpy. A writer from Destructoid, however, deemed Spore to be slightly above average at best and gave it a 6.0 out of 10.1
In Spore, players guide the life cycle of an alien species from its humble origins as simple-celled organisms to its eventual emergence as a space-faring civilization. The game relies heavily on user-created content, with players designing their creatures at various stages of the game.
