Reviewed: Spore

It's been a long wait for Will Wright's extremely ambitious Spore. At E3 he even compared Spore to God. Blasphemy! I'm sure there are Christian gamers out there who didn't like that one bit... I'm not sure how religious our staffers are, but they managed to grade to game based on how entertaining it was on a scale from one to ten...

Reviewer: Asmus Nergaard
Excerpt: "Everyone who has been fascinated by Will Wright's earlier games should try Spore. There is a sense of fatherhood in seeing the creatures you have created on screen, and it is not without pride that you see them taking their first baby steps into the space age."

Score: 8/10
Reviewer: Matti Isotalo
Excerpt:
"What's clear is that Spore is a unique game with creation tools unlike anything we've seen before. It suffers, however, from a lack of continuity and partially meager content. For veteran players Spore can be too simple. It's worth a try nonetheless, since we probably won't see anything like it in a while."

Reviewer: Kim Visnes
Excerpt:
"Spore is one of the most unique, revolutionary and beautiful games I have ever played, and it lives up to most of my expectations. It is an exciting journey through evolution that really makes you think of how insignificant mankind is in the greater scheme as well as how many random circumstances made us into who we are."

Reviewer: Petter Mårtensson
Excerpt: "Regardless of a poor Swedish translation Spore will last a long time with the help of user created content and future expansions. And I will return time and time again. But it is a far cry from the timeless classic many of us were expecting."
