How about a game that takes you into the journey of evolution, and along the way you can manipulate/create/interact with everything you see? How about a game that offers no boundary in possibilities? No! I am not crazy; I am talking about the next-generation simulation game by Will Wright, SPORE. Will Wright, the creator of SimCity and The Sims, presented a demo of his latest masterpiece at E3. After watching this 20 minutes demonstration of SPORE, I was blown away by this game’s concept and its incredible scope.
From the mind of Will Wright, the creator of The Sims, comes SPORE™, an epic journey that takes you from the origin and evolution of life through the development of civilization and technology and eventually all the way into the deepest reaches of outer space.
If you watched the video I linked above, you would agree that the quoted summary is no exaggeration at all. I can’t think of any game that comes even close to the grand scale of SPORE. However, this is exactly my only concern. I am afraid that this game is too complex, and requires a great deal of learning before the player can truly enjoy it. But from what I see in the demo, the gameplay is very straightforward and intuitive. Anyway, I am pretty excited about this game, and please let me know what you think of it after watching the demo video.

Wow! I presume this will be a huge success: it’s mind blowing.
Only problem: I guess it needs Windows running on a pretty fast machine. :(

Yeah it looks like it’s going to be an awesome game. Have they actually announced its launch date? Hopefully I’d have my hands on a Macbook Pro with Boot Camp by then :)

Yes I’m keeping an eye on that game too. There were too many interesting games shown at the E³ convention: Bioshock, Metroid Prime 3, Super Paper Mario, the new Mario Bros on the DS, Brain Training, the new Castlevania, ARGH!
I’m gonna have to take a year off work to play them all. :-/
