Do you want to be a hippie herbivore, singing to befriend all your neighbours? How about a warmongering meaniehead, relentlessly murdering everyone who stands in your way, for no reason? Well, the choice is yours. Throughout, you must make decisions on how your species will evolve and thrive. Eventually that penis will become a spacefaring species trying to traverse and spread throughout the galaxy.Įach stage of life in Spore comes with its own pretty unique style of play, some far deeper than others. It's life sim meets strategy, where you grow a tiny organism with a little snappy mouth into a horrible monstrosity you made look like a penis because you’re hilarious. Spore is several games in one, none of which are particularly impressive on their own. One a day, every day, perhaps for all time. Spore is out on PC, Mac, Nintendo DS and mobile phone on September 5th.Have You Played? is an endless stream of game retrospectives.

"I’m amazed at the creations I see getting uploaded to the Sporepedia, whether it’s a realistic looking bird or animal, a 10-eyed alien, or something completely bizarre and unexpected like a creature that looks like a motorcycle, it’s clear that people have an innate desire to be creative, and we’re thrilled to help them express themselves." "Maxis is excited, humbled and inspired by the explosion of creativity that we’ve seen with the Spore Creature Creator online," said executive producer Lucy Bradshaw.

It's two-legged and green, and can be viewed over at - which is also the place to go if you want to download the Creature Creator.

The millionth creature was created by user FlamingChidori and was named Sapiusgeenus. That's pretty impressive considering the thing's only been available to download for a week.
