Will Wright’s hugely successful game The Sims let players shape the lives of virtual
humans; his new game, Spore, lets them control the universe. Spore has five
levels, following a species’ evolution from single-celled organisms to
technologically advanced space explorers, but players can begin at any level.
In the game’s editor mode, players design their own creatures. The creatures’
movements and behaviors are then determined by algorithms that analyze the
structure of their bodies. At the lower levels, players help their creatures
feed and hunt; at the higher levels, they control the creatures’ social
organization and their built environment. Spore comes out September 7.
