    Jogo incrível e chega a ser difícil de acreditar que foi feito em 2008, todos os estágios são legais e os modos de criação de personagens/estruturas/veículos são muito legais, simplesmente adoro esse jogo me da muita nostalgia.

    Don't understand, why people hate Spore. I mean, it could be better and more mature, as we can see in the E3 videos, but the fact is that even today there is NO alternatives for this game!

On the other, if you not really into that type of gameplay, you will still have a great time, but for not a long amount of hours - 5-10, maybe. Still worth playing anyway… Expand

    This game has so much strategic, creative and philosophical strengths, you can't help but have a deeper thought of evolution and life itself while playing spore. The creatures, although usually hideous, are really creative and full of personality. For many people, this game brings the late 2000s nostalgia, but Spore is more than just that.

    Every time i play this game, i am reminded of the times when life was simple. It may be repetitive, but it stimulates my monkey brain for long enough, and it's an insanely original idea.

    Spore is a game that truly captures the imagination and creativity of its players.

From the moment you begin playing, you are transported to a world where you have the power to shape your own destiny. Whether you want to create a peaceful civilization or conquer the galaxy through brute force, the choice is entirely yours.

    One of the most amazing aspects of Spore is its expansive gameplay. You start as a single-celled organism and evolve into a complex, intelligent creature, before eventually building your own civilization and exploring the vast reaches of space. The game offers an incredible amount of freedom in terms of how you choose to progress, and no two players will have the same experience.

    Another standout feature of Spore is its graphics. The game is beautifully rendered, with vibrant colors and intricate details that bring this imaginary world to life. And the sound design is equally impressive, immersing you in a world full of strange and wonderful creatures.

    But what really sets Spore apart is its focus on player creativity. The game allows you to customize everything from the physical appearance of your creatures to their behavior and characteristics. This means that you can truly make the game your own, creating a unique experience that reflects your own creative vision.

    Overall, Spore is an absolutely amazing game that delivers on every level. With its expansive gameplay, stunning graphics, and focus on creativity, it's a must-play for anyone who loves immersive, imaginative gaming experiences.    … Expand

The audio quality is simply amazing and adds to the immersive experience of the game.

    One of the things that really stood out to me about this game is the lovely story. The developers put a lot of thought and effort into crafting a compelling narrative that keeps you engaged throughout the game. It's not often that a game manages to balance great gameplay with a well-written story, but this game does it well.

    Despite some minor bugs that I encountered while playing, the overall experience was still enjoyable. The developers are actively working on fixing any issues, and they have been quick to respond to any player feedback.

    Overall, I think this game is definitely worth the price. It offers a great balance of graphics, gameplay, audio quality, and story that will keep you coming back for more. I would give it an 8/10 rating and would recommend it to anyone looking for a fun and engaging gaming experience.    … Expand

    Spore is a game with endless replayability. Even though it might be a little outdated on some edges, it still keeps up extremely well and the content and enjoyment I get out of it has been immense throughout the years. The dlc's add a LOT of extra things to do and are definitely recommended if you enjoy the base game as well.

    Spore is a good game the concept of going from cell to galactic empire is a awesome gameplay expirience no other game made it to this day but there are some flaws like tribal and civilazation stages are just too lacking and boring and cell+creature stage are too easy without any punishments but otherwise the game is good

    Spore is a unique game. What game can you start as a bacterium and end up as a space empire? There are many ways to develop.

Many important stages, like a fish, a molecule and a city, were cut out and very in vain. Rather, it is a simulator of God, and there are also bugs and very often. It can also be boring at some points, but in any case, Spore is a good game, even for our time.… Expand

    The most ambitious, unique, and exciting game of its kind! Of course, the game lacks realism, variety, and content, but there are no such games at the moment.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Spore is amazing, I love the freedom that players have with the customisation. There's not much of a story other than evolving into different stages of life.The graphics aren't great, even for 2008. Whenever I start a new world, I get bored once I reach the city stage. For me it gets boring after the tribal stage. I have 1 week of play time but that's because I forgot this game exists.… Expand

    SPORE - одна из немногих игр моего детства, которые я люблю вспоминать с улыбкой на лице. Это игра нового поколения, которая представляла из себя нечто совершенно новое в мире игр. На мой взгляд, кто не играл в SPORE многое упустил, ибо эта игра просто икона стиля, других игр подобного типа просто нет.

Это игра нового поколения, которая представляла из себя нечто совершенно новое в мире игр. На мой взгляд, кто не играл в SPORE многое упустил, ибо эта игра просто икона стиля, других игр подобного типа просто нет.
    По сюжету игры неизвестный метеорит прилетает на неизвестную планету и падает в океан после чего появляется существо и начинает кушать и эволюционировать.
    Существует 5 главных этапов эволюции:
    1) Клетка – первый и очень короткий этап, с самого начала игры мы выбираем тип питания, это может быть плотоядность или травоядность. Чем больше наша клетка ест, тем больше она становится, и мы набираем очки эволюции.
    2) Существо - на этапе перед нами теперь не водный, а большой динамический мир, по которому можно бродить, находить гнёзда других животных, убивая их или заключая дружбу.
    3) Племя - на этом этапе мы контролируем уже целую группу — племя. Мы должны будем строить здания для улучшения своего племени, которые могут дать оружие и музыкальные инструменты.
    Но не только наше племя является единственным на планете, появились другие племена, которые могут быть либо нейтральны, либо агрессивны по отношению к нам.
    С ними можно договориться дипломатическими методами или уничтожить их.
    4) Цивилизация - у нас появился город, мы утратили способность управлять собственными существами, но появилась возможность управлять машинами и кораблями, а также самолётами, которые могут передвигаться на другой континент и атаковать города.
    Но не только у нас появился город, появились и другие города, которые можно - захватить, купить или обратить в свою веру.
    5) Космос - наши существа запускают первый космический корабль, способный совершать перелёты между планетами родной звездной системы и после нахождения на одной из планет межзвездного двигателя — к другим звёздным системам. После этого мы сможем исследовать галактику, колонизировать другие планеты, вступать в контакт с другими разумными расами (империями), заключать с ними союзы или уничтожать.
    Плюсы:
    - Интересный сюжет;
    - Мы развиваем свою фантазию в создании своего существа, техники, зданий и т.д.;
    - В игре отличная музыка и не плохая графика.
    Минусы:
    - Есть много непонятных моментов и багов;
    - Этапы Цивилизация и Космос для меня считаются самыми неинтересными.
    Но несмотря на все это SPORE - это очень легкая, добрая и на редкость очаровательная игра в которую интересно поиграть и сейчас и взрослым, и детям.    … Expand

    Really sad that this game gets bad reviews from users only because they did 1-2 plays. Its not extremely complex but it definitely has its own charm. You can play in many styles. Space stage itself is the worth the money, its very complex.

    A great creative game to exploit the groundbreaking ideas made by the players themselves. EA clearly knows how to create "engine" game genres, i.e. empowering customers to build characters and create. More famous can be mentioned The Sims. But Spore is clearly... more freer.

    I picked this up on day one of release when I was in high school. I'm now 27 and this is still one of my absolute favourites. Insanely fun character creator, great gameplay, and great replay value. My only complaint is that some stages aren't long enough! But I love it.

    Great childhood game, huge opportunities at any stage. The best sandbox game I've ever played. Each stage of the creature's development is unique in its own way and you can play it in different ways. In my opinion, it would be cool to increase all the stages, and then the last stage "space" eventually takes 50% of the game, although it seems to me not as interesting as the same "tribe" orGreat childhood game, huge opportunities at any stage.

    I think there is not much problem except shortness. By creating your own kind, you can move it from an armless creature to an empire ruling the planets. The best work Maxis has done. By the way, the creation settings are really a lot. Of course, this does not change the fact that it is difficult. Chances should be given regardless of the low scores.

    Awesome game where you can unleash your creativity and go through 5 stages of evolution (evolution is not realistic but it doesn't matter). Also the game becomes very boring at space stage and devs cut many good things

    How to design a game that spans from swimming in a drop of water to ruling the galaxy? Will Wright knows how: as simple as possible. Spore deserves success on "The Sims" scale. [Sept 2008]

    Spore's triumph is painfully ironic. By setting out to instill a sense of wonderment at creation and the majesty of the universe, it's shown us that it's actually a lot more interesting to sit here at our computers and explore the contents of each other's brains. [October 2008, p.64]

    Spore manages quite some feats – it's accessible for casual gamers, but at the same time so real and dynamic, able to offer hardcore gamers a demanding experience and, obviously, a more appealing one than in "The Sims".
