We have been hearing about this game for three years now and it's finally going to be released in a few months. I've checked around, the prices everywhere are $49 US

From the mind of Will Wright, the creator of The Sims, comes SPORE™, an epic journey that takes you from the origin and evolution of life through the development of civilization and technology and eventually all the way into the deepest reaches of outer space.

Tide Pool Phase
Fight with other creatures and consume them to adjust the form and abilities of your creature. It's survival of the fittest at the most microscopic level.

Creature Phase
Venture onto land and help your creature learn and evolve with forays away from your nest. The only way to grow is by taking chances!

Tribal Phase
Instead of controlling an individual creature, you are now caring for an entire tribe. Give them tools and guide their interactions as you upgrade their state of existence.

Civilization Phase
Once your city is established, your creatures begin seeking out and interacting with other cultures. Make contact with an olive branch or a war cry. The goal for your creatures is to conquer the planet.

Space Phase
The time has come to move on to other worlds in your solar system. Make contact, colonize, or terraform, then venture further to find other solar systems. A 'mission' structure provides new goals in your quest for galactic dominance

I've not seen anything yet other than this.
Q: Am I going to need a top-of-the line new computer to be able to play Spore?
A: While Spore offers a unique gameplay experience, our team is working hard to make sure Spore will be accessible to as broad an audience as possible.

Something to note:

The "creature creator" portion of the game will actually be out before the game...June 17.

I believe it costs 9.99, so you end up paying 59.99 for the game, basically, but it allows you to create some creatures, get an idea if it's fun to do, etc, 2 months before the rest of the game.

There's much, much more to the game that just the creation, but creation is the first step. After that, it's about evolving your creature, then controlling massive amounts of them, like an RTS. Truly a unique game, it sounds like.

The creature creator is now available.

The following site has a link to buy it for 9.99 and get the full creature creator - the same that will come with the game, or download a demo that has about 25% of the features of the full creator.

but I bought the game yesterday, but it doesn't let me play for some reason.... It was cheap too. I thought it was supposed to be a simulation game, not a drawing game....

The editor came out today, for 9.99.

The full blown game, which will allow you to important what you created with the editor, and will allow the simulation,comes out on September 9.

The full-blown game will come with the creator - they just released it early to give us a taste.

So far, even the trial version with only 25% of the cotent...absolute blast.

I'll try and upload some creations later this evening.
