Spore, a computer game much like the Sims series, is a multi-genre single player game. It allows for players to create characters from the beginning as a unicellular organism and watch it evolve. The game itself is revolutionary in that all players are connected through the internet, creating worlds for their spore creatures in which players worldwide can connect. It is an ever expanding, never ending game created by its players: it is a personal and customizable experience. Electronic Arts, the game’s distributor, announced this week that an expansion pack, called the Spore Creepy & Cute Parts Pack, will be released later this year (as early as next month). This expansion pack will allow, for the first time, the ability for “players’ space faring creatures to beam down from their spaceships to explore new planets and earn rewards for completing challenging missions. A new Adventure Creator will allow players to build and share online their own custom missions, providing almost endless gameplay possibilities.” Introducing over 100 new character and world creating features, this game is like nothing else on the market: the consumer is not only building the game, but creating it for others to play.
