It's definitely refreshing to see a game that focuses on gameplay and fun, ignore fancy graphics and THEN pull it off so well. The most impressive feature for me is the creature creator. I must say, that the code behind the animation of the creatures is quite intuitive given that it will usually animate anything you create with some sort of grace (unless you TRY to prove me wrong). Anyway, I shall return to playing Spore now. This game is one of the most enjoyable games I’ve played in a long time now.

He bought a copy yesterday and has been playing it all day today. He's up to the second stage now and keeps calling me in to see how his creature has changed :) My husband has been waiting for this game for so long!
