> Spore is your own personal universe in a box. In this universe you can

> Spore is made up of five phases, each corresponding to a stage of
> evolution: cell, creature, tribe, civilization and space. Each phase
> presents different challenges and goals. You may choose to start with
> the cell phase and nurture one species from its humble aquatic origins
> to its evolution as a sentient species. Or you may decide to start
> building tribes or civilizations on multiple planets. What you do with
> your universe is up to you.

>
>
> Both the PC and Macintosh versions of the game will feature the full
> experience of cell through to space with editors for designing
> creatures, buildings, and vehicles. Spore for the Mac will be made
> possible through TransGaming's Cider Portability Engine, with experience
> gained from the past EA Mac titles.
