Video Game Reviews of Spore
Customer Review: Spore is great!
Summary: 5 Stars
Spore is one of the best open-ended games I have played (apart from The Sims of course!) All the stages are great (Creature and Space being the most fun!) The only downside is the "3 downloads." I got this game for my birthday and installed it on my computer right away. Too bad it didn't have a good enough graphics card. I un-installed (1 download gone.) I tried it on my dad's newer computer so I would know whether we needed to upgrade the graphics on my new one when we ordered it (it worked but I had to un-install.) 2 down. Finally, when we got my new computer, it worked flawlessly. Now, a friend of mine wants a copy, but I have no downloads left. What if the computer crashed and I had to re-install? I would have to buy a whole new game! The download limit is not a good thing!

Spore gives you a variety of powerful yet easy-to-use creation tools so you can create every aspect of your universe: creatures, vehicles, buildings, and even starships.PC Minimum - Windows XP/Vista, 6 GB Hard Drive Space, 2.0 GHz P4 processor or equivalent, 768 MB RAM, 128 MB Video Card, with support for Pixel Shader 2.0 Mac Minimum - Mac OS X 10.5.3 Leopard or higher, 4.7GB Hard Drive Space, Intel Core Duo Processor, 1024 MB RAM; ATI X1600 or NVidia 7300 GT with 128 MB of Video RAM, or Intel Integrated GMA X3100
Create universal wonder in Spore, an exciting new simulation game that lets you develop your own personal universe. Work your way through five evolutionary phases, including Cell, Creature, Tribe, Civilization and Space, that offer unique challenges, thrills and goals. For example, you can start in Cell and nurture one species from a simple aquatic organism all the way until it becomes a sentient life form.
