It has been estimated by some that conquering the entire galaxy would take 2 years of daily play. The potential for replayability is great, while the potential to keep playing a single game is equally great. The open ended gameplay, the enormous variety of options, the opportunities to express one’s creativity through creation or storytelling, and the sheer fun and joy you get from playing Spore are all major reasons this is such an excellent game. After creating the juggernaut that is The Sims, I do not know if Will Wright could ever have lived up to the expectations from his next game. It is truly a masterpiece of a game, even if it fails to live up to the expectations heaped upon it for the last few years. It is probably quite clear from the review, but my overall conclusions are quite positive for Spore.
