Just when you thought the Sims were intense, now comes Spore, the latest and greatest creation from Will Wright, the mad genius of Sims fame, where one starts from being a one cell spore and evolves into the unimaginable able to wage war, build cities and construct rockets in pursuit of new adventure beyond the confines of earth. To me, it reminds one of biomorph writ "very" large, Biomorph was the creation of scientist Richard Dawkins, - Yes, that Richard Dawkins of The God Delusion fame that shows how small random mutations in the first or second generation of a creature generate huge changes as the generation count rises. The look of the game has a whimsical Hieronymus Bosch look to it and has the potential of being something very special as it enables one to become "God" able to develop worlds that "work" at a very high level. Wacky & Wonderful and Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory comes to mind here when looking at the kind of vibe this game will have. Big time time killer here for sure. I, for one, can't wait for Spore to go live because playing "God" sounds like a pretty cool idea to me.
