Spore puts the player in complete control of a single celled organism, helping to evolve the organism over time to a working civilization and onward into a space age. Designed for ages ten and up, Spore is a very immersive experience with many of the player’s choices, especially at the tribal stage and onward, having real consequences in the game’s world. Play styles can vary greatly; civilizations can be warlike or peaceful while organisms can be herbivores, carnivores, or omnivores. The choice is up to the player.
