Spore is a bag full of Legos, a “Choose Your Own Adventure” story, a classroom terrarium, and much more. Its playful attitude and creative design will entice experienced gamers and newcomers alike.

The Mac Observer
Shortcomings aside, Maxis has created something fun and completely immersive where the player can play for a dozen hours and feel as if they’ve barely begun to scratch the surface of the game. Spore is a customization fan’s dream come true wherein a creature, vehicle or building’s characteristics can be completely built from the ground up while new items and accessories can be gradually unlocked to make a cool thing that much better.

Even with that, though, Spore is worth the purchase. It is incomplete, but it's so much fun in the space stage that it's still worth it. Hypothetically, you could purchase a legal copy of the game and then find a friend without any copy-protection problems and play on that version instead. It's worthy of your monetary support, but until the copy-protection is simplified and made less restrictive, I wouldn't recommend risking your computer with it.

For now, Spore is a comical, beautiful, and surprisingly fun journey that will likely satisfy casual gamers but will disappoint fans hoping to see a Wright masterpiece.
