TVG: Spore Galactic Adventures Review
Like the original release, the essence of planetary creation is something that EA Maxis is ensuring will be as intuitive and accessible for a wide an audience as possible.

By Justin Haywald When Will Wright first talked about his plans for Spore, he set expectations so high that no game could've possibly lived up to the hype.

Third, we wanted a high amount of aesthetic diversity. We didn’t want there to be one ultimate design direction that the simulator was forcing all the creatures into. In other words if to be fast you had to have long legs that would have met the first goal, conflicted with the third goal and made the second much more complex. Will Wright [read the full post]
