So Spore from Will Wright was shaping up to be the most open game ever devised turns out to be one of his only games with an ending. Huh? Did I miss something?  Spore which will contain only user created content will have about 15- 20 hours of game play in the final stages.  But, will still be open ended.

I checked the creature count on Sporepedia, and it is now just shy of 1,800,000 creatures.  I can't imagine what it will be when the game gets here on September 7th.  What kind of bandwidth and storage space has EA/Maxis set aside for this game?

I am still playing with the editor and have learned some new tricks.  I think that this is another genre creating game from Maxis.

The Get ready for Will Wright, Maxis & EA to change gaming again.  They made new rules with the Sim series of games.  Now they have made a "Sim Everything" game.  I recently got the Creature Creator.  My son and I really like this game.  And now that we have found out some of the tips and tricks for creature creation, it is even better.  There are almost 1.1 million creatures uploaded to the Spore site.


The full game hits the streets on September 7th and I am really looking forward to it.  You start off as a single cell and can take that creature all the way to space.  You can design everything along the way.  Including the houses they live in. 

The level of flexibility and creativity you can achieve in this game is incredible.  When I first heard this game was coming, I knew my son, soon to be 11, would love it.  He makes his own games and PokeMon style cards all of the time.  To be able to make almost any kind of creature you want and see it come to life, way to cool.  All we have to do now is wait until September to see out creatures interact with each other.  The other cool thing about the full game will be the ability to interact with every creature and object made by every Spore player around the world.  To let the creature interact and create new species.  I can't imagine the bandwidth the EA servers will have to have for this one game alone.
