Spore Review from PC Gamer
Does the most hotly anticipated game of 2008 (and 2007, and 2006, too) live up to our epic expectations?
Will, I bet you feel like expectations for Spore passed the unreasonable stage about a year ago—around the time you appeared on The Colbert Report, actually. And I’ll admit that probably no one outside your development team has had higher expectations for it than I have, except possibly your blood relatives and the guy who counts the money at EA.
Maybe it’s because Spore’s been years in the making. Maybe it’s because you’re the guy making it. Maybe it’s because everything you’ve said about it—its massive scope, its academic inspirations—has suggested a completely new direction for videogames. I mean, it was on the cover of PC Gamer’s Top Games of the Year predictions twice; even a delay didn’t dampen our anticipation.
