Gamer 2.0 Review: Spore
Gamer 2.0 writes: "The caveat – the warning that must be heeded by all potential Spore owners – is that Spore is not your classic strategy game. It’s a mistake many might make, but shouldn’t. It is – as are all of Will Wright’s games before it – a simulation; a "likeness" of evolution, but not a complete recreation.
It is vast, expansive, and brilliant, but not terribly deep for seasoned strategy game enthusiasts. It can be fast paced and challenging, but not overwhelming for any gamer; with "accessibility," the mantra of modern game design, obviously being one of its core philosophies. And yes, it is innovative, but in more discreet ways than you would think from a game that takes you from a single-celled organism to a galactic superpower."
