"EA was willing to give this game the time it deserved in development. Spore's procedural animation architect Chris Hecker joined the team over three years ago. Some eight years in the making, Spore has already won a Leipziger Messe Best of CG Award for Best PC Game and an E3 2008 GameSpot Editors' Choice Award for Best Strategy Game (PC). Players take control of their creatures' fates as they guide them through six evolutionary phases: Tidepool (survival of the fittest at the most microscopic level) Creature (venturing onto dry land to evolve) Tribal (caring for an entire tribe) City (bringing the creatures into an era of technology) Civilization (seeking out and interacting with other cultures) and Space (moving on to other worlds in the solar system). Spore's designers describe the game as a "personal universe in a box," allowing players to create and evolve life, establish tribes, build civilizations, sculpt worlds and then explore universes created by other players. With Spore, Wright is also asking, "What are the things that evolution has at its disposal to define a creature, to mix and match the parts, and eventually come up with a unique organism that's going to live its life and try to reproduce?" We're basically planting the seeds to spread Spore out to a much wider group of people than would ever play a computer game." Wright said in a Reuters interview, "With Spore, we're looking way outside the game space, such as TV, movies, etc. EA is also pursuing licensing television and movie rights to Spore. Creatures viewed breaking news through their own special lens - reacting in ways that only Spore creatures can. The creatures of Spore also infiltrated MTV News during Video Music Awards coverage from September 5 to September 7 on MTV and MTV2. The show - also included in the limited-run Spore Galactic Edition - features Wright and leading scientists exploring the genetic information that humans share with all animals, including creatures that have never previously been envisioned. Spore Creatures for Nintendo DS and Spore Origins for mobile phones are also now available worldwide.įollowing the game's launch, the National Geographic Channel is scheduled to premiere How to Build a Better Being, a companion documentary to Spore, on September 9. Launched in Europe on September 5 and in North America on September 7, Spore (from Electronic Arts and Maxis) is a video game for PC or Mac in which the player moves from the creation of early cellular form of life, to evolving species, to building civilizations, to forging alliances or undertaking epic battles in outer space. However, this September also brings Spore - Will Wright's new creative video game vision for this wired generation of youth. September heralds the frantic back-to-school activities of children who reluctantly leave behind the last freedom-filled days of summer.
