Spore: Galactic Adventures - Expansion Pack (PC and Mac DVD)

Spore was an innovative and interesting game, however after a while players may have found themselves getting bored with reaching space stage and not having much else to do except repeat themselves. Spore GA gives another huge dimension to an already versatile game and keeps it fresh and fun.

To begin with you may be dissapointed with the amount of pre-made adventures, however they showcase the capablilties of the adventure creator. The adventure creator itself looks rather daunting at first, the tutorial glazes over the basic functions. However when you then go to create your own adventure it becomes clear that was all you really needed, with a bit of messing around you can quite easily create somthing to be proud of.

This expansion pack also gives more meaning to the creators already provided as you can make props, characters, environments and more from using them and putting them in your adventure. If you are a paticularly creative person this should keep you entertained for a while and yeild some pretty good results.

The only downside to this game is there can be some bugs and glitches, usually nothing too bad. This however teamed with EA's customer service can be rather frustrating, however the online feature of this game allows you to join in on the spore forums, where almost any technical question can be answered by the friendly community.

Using the online features brings even more angles to the game. Not only can you rate and be rated on your features but you can use other player's content as well as play other peoples adventures. Somtimes it can be frustrating trying to find a well thought out adventure but again the community comes in by highlighting some of the best aventures.

All in all spore GA is a great game as expansion packs go and is great if you are a little bit creativley minded or enjoy taking control over games. There are a few technical hitches that are usually easy to sort out but the online aspects of the game as well as the hours of fun you will have will overlook this. I reccomend this game!

Bought the expansion pack on the day it came out, its brilliant! You can play the Maxi created adventures, create your own adventures or play adventures created by other Spore players. The games are endless! You can even edit the Maxi and player created adventures too. Am wondering how they will top this when the time comes to release another expansion pack?

the original spore was an incredibly fun and creative game, galactic adventures make into maybe the best game I have ever played. the game play of the adventures can go from pulse race 3rd person shooter, to a spine chilling suspense and to mind taxing puzzles. also the adventure creator is quite possibly the most flexible creation tool any were, as it gives you the ability to mold your own planets into any shape, change the colour, alter the plant life, change the temperature, the atmospheric density and then fill it with what ever you want. If you liked the original spore, you will well and truly love this.
