Strengths: Impressive scale, nearly endless possibilities for creatures and other creations, user created content
Weakness: Early stages quickly grow boring, space stage requires far too much babysitting, sometimes a somewhat limited selection of parts for creations
I remember when Spore was announced at least a couple of years ago - the sheer idea was overwhelming. Flash forward to today, and, well, frankly, the game is a little underwhelming.

Too bad it almost always ends up being Maxis created characters, unless you manually dig through the thousands...
Will Wright, the inventor of SimCity and the Sims, is working with Maxis to develop Spore, a game that takes the "Sim" concept to a monumental scale.

One of the Better EA Games Out There
Strengths: Creative, Easy to Play, Fun, High Replay Value
Weakness: Slow in the beginning
Overall a great game with little to complain about. It's like Sims, but in a global/expanded universe kind of way. I find the characters fun and easy to be entertained with. I like the creativity factor in this game. Also, this is extremely easy to pick up. Pick up this game to enjoy on your Mac or PC.
