Spored

2364860198_4f98527f1bWhen i first learned of Mr Wright’s ambitious project, a few years ago in a blurry, Google video (before they bought YouTube), I was understandably excited.

Years later, Spore was released, and just the other day, I was able to finally pick it up and start playing.

I started up a new game, made my little carnivorous organism, and ate my way through to the top of the food chain. I enjoyed most every part of the game, and I’m still playing through the Space Age, and starting an occasional new creature now and again.

TrinkerI thought it would be interesting to break down some items of this game that I like, and those I don’t like. Since this is *meant* to be a Blog about Worldcrafting and Game Design, it might be useful. At the very least, it’ll be fun, and give me an excuse to show off some of my creations :)

I would remember the story, the characters, some of the events, and even running around Morphing monster to collect Elixirs for the enemies in the last area. Other than Final Fantasy Mystic Quest, which was sort of a simplified RPG, and games like the pre-N64 Zelda series, FFVII was really the first game I had played that I would consider a ‘true’ console RPG.
