    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.

    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.

    It's an overall fun game that has its moments of greatness but sometimes feels half-baked. Creature stage is the best, space stage is excellent if directionless, and the tribe/civilization stages feel underwhelming by comparison. The public creature sharing is amazing though! It creates very fun and diverse worlds to play in.

    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.

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.

    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 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

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.

    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.
    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.

    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.

    The game itself had immense potential but felt poorly executed. I enjoyed the space stage the most, as all previous stages had not much depth (at least for me). A lot of extra points for the possible creativity, but it remains repetitive without being able to have (or create) a challenge.

    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.

    Gameplay-wide it's a very odd game, as it features many game genres. Every of the life stages, though, allows you to get creative and design most of your creature's and civilization's parts. When it comes to individual stages:
    1. The Cell stage is very boring, and I would usually skip it, if it wouldn't give perks in future gameplay.
    2. The Creature stage is easily the most compelling one, allowing you to simulate a controlled evolution of a species, conquering the gene pool.
    3. The Tribal stage completes the mind evolution of our creature and begins the social one, but it's very shallow.
    4. The Civilization stage is very fun and quite diverse. Your goal is to conquer the whole world by any means necessary.
    5. The Space stage is my favourite alongside the Creature stage. It allows you to travel to another planets, solar systems and visit every star in the galaxy, make allies and fight foes. The roster of tools you can use is very large, but gets boring after a while, as you do the same thing over and over again.

    Overall the game is not very deep, it's fun, but easy.

    This game and its expansions are incredible, no game on the market that I'm aware of allows one to create and entire alien civilization. I have sunk more hours into this game than any other game I own. Truly EA and Maxis hit gold with this one, its a shame there has never been a sequel to this game, although perhaps given EA's business practices in recent history, might be for the best.

    I recommend as the game is fun for a while, even though overall it's lacking in depth.

    This game has almost infinite replayability, as long as you're creative and open-minded. There's a lot of things Spore does right, and a few things it does wrong.

Also, it pretty much never ends, since unless you colonise every planet (which is possible, it just takes forever!) there's always something more to do. My favourite stage is probable Civilisation and Space, and my least favourite is Tribal. Tribal is bad because it's an RTS with unresponsive units. At least in Civilisation, the units do what you say. Also, you can't cheat in the currency used in Tribal. I like Civilisation because it has you interact with other nations, and you can befriend them or BEAT THEM TO A PULP. Using the gift of tech, you can use cars and boats and planes. I like Space because (other than the fact that you're in space and have lasers and stuff) you don't really have a goal. I mean, you can colonize planets, befriend alien species, or become an interstellar warlord! There's, like, 18 bazillion different planets, and they all have different stuff on them! It's pretty much impossible to not have something to do. Expand

    For my whole life I was a fan of monsters. Back then Spore gave me the opportunity to create some cool and funny creatures out of my mind. I had so much fun for hundreds of hours. The "story" was just a bonus for me, but I also liked it a lot (except Space).

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. раньше мне нравилась эта игра,но за 10 лет ничего особо не добавили.хотя новости в стиме выходят по сей день.
    ужасно тупой ИИ,хреновая графика даже на высоких настройках,
    на стадии племени ты можешь послать 9 человек с оружием против 12 с муз инструментами и НИКТО не вернется назад! а убьют они лишь троих!запутанное управление племенем.кажется что у врагов есть преимущество тк даже 2 челика без оружия могут почти уничтожить отряд из 3 вооруженных человек.идти дружелюбным путем тупо легче чем воевать тк воевать очень геморно!
    очень интересно играть на стадии цивилизации.
    у игры очень интересная задумка но реализация хромает.в стим версии иногда
    вылетает и виснет(?!). но в игру стоит поиграть.

    A marvellous game. One of the thing I like more is the fact that you evolve in game, which make the play style different each 30 minutes 1 hour without it being forced and annoying. This is well done because in opposite of a great number of game, you do not play each stage to finally restart, because your creature indeed stay the same and still become better and better.

    The only real downfall would be the space age, which is a little bit butched and repetitive.

    Certain technical problem may prevent users from enjoying the complete game (I.E. not being able to log in due to some strange difficulties)

    But leaving that aside it is a great game, creating (both creatures and adventures) would be the game's best part in my opinion.

    Super disappointing game. We were promised so much and ended up getting so little. For a game that boasts about its depth, this game is surprisingly shallow. The progression isn't nearly as authentic or gradual as I had hoped, and the mechanics of progression get old really fast.

    Why this game catches so much flack is beyond me, it was a daunting task to attempt this game, and honestly it didn't turn out too poorly, the primary reason people hate this is probably due to the fact that EA is the devil of publishers. Other than that, and a few minor bugs, this game is completely fine.

    Algunas personas no les gusta y puedo entenderlo, vuelve la historia de la evolución en unos 5 mini-juegos, mas o menos. Aunque fue echo para niños, en ese caso supongo que es entendible volverlo todo simple. Pero al final no encuentro gran cosa para decir que sea atroz. Aveces tendrá dificultad artificial al ponerte uno que otro mutante con mas vida que todo tu clan junto, una que otra horda de carnívoros asesinos que salieron a dar un paseo porque si, pero no significa que sea malo. De echo aveces lo encuentro algo relajante, tiene mecánicas simples, gráficos bonitos y aunque se vuelve frustrante porque no explica mucho... Me gusto. Puede que le este perdonando por ser algo tan simple y adorable...Y después de "The Walking Dead" ver algo tan infantil me volvió muy blando, pero aun así no veo algo malo. Es simple, tiene algo "interesante" como mínimo. No diré que vale 20 dolares, es una experiencia olvídale, pero si lo consigues por 5... Tal ves te guste para pasar el rato.

    The game is fun and different, has a number of different gameplay styles, it has a really cool part of creation, and it is you who creates the game story, but in some parts of the game he gets to be very slow and tiring.

    One of the greatest games that I ever seen, Sadly, players gave unfair reviews just because they were not satisfied with the DRM. This is a great game, from cell stage, on your home planet, to space stage you can guide your own species to build an Empire on several stellar systems!

    In the cell and creature stages it really kicks you off your feet with a nice FPS survival style and until here I would give 100 out of 10.

No problem, forget that and here's a ton of new combinations and mouse dragging you have to get used to. Why keep the same fps style? Now we're a strategy game. But, you get used to that and things happen fast and gameplay is ok.

    THEN, you move to civilization stage. This is where the brown matter hits the fan. I was a warrior, and somehow I didn't manage/didn't know I have to capture the others in a fraction of a second, maybe even faster, so I ended up with one great empire that I'm allied to, and me. Now, I can't continue the game because I'm warrior style and I have to conquer them all, but can't conquer them because all I have is a small town capable of nothing, and I get flattened out if I try to attack them.

    The game is so unbalanced that it stuck itself. I mean, either you conquer them all, either you die, but somehow this game allows a situation where you just coexist with another civilization and nothing happens further. EVER.

    So basically I have to restart from cell stage to do anything, because I also saved my game in this state and nothing can be done.

    It's a pity... this had great potential.

    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]
  2. 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]
  3. 100
    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".
