Spore: Coming to the PSP or not?

Posted on Mar 13, 2009 07:01:41 PM

A PSP version of the highly anticipated PC game Spore was confirmed way back in 2006. Now, years later, the company is silent. Although we have seen Spore on the Nintendo DS, that version is actually completely different than its PC origin. Really, the fact that the game has yet to make its way to the PSP is quite logical, seeing as even some beefed up PC systems had problems playing the game smoothly; so we can hardly be able to expect the Playstation Portable to handle it. Nevertheless, a promise is a promise, and until a Spore PSP version is officially denied, we can keep hoping. In the mean, we’ll offer a look at the PC game that is causing all the hype.

As you play Spore on the PC, you assume the role of as a microbe, and go through five stages ranging from microbiotic to the intergalactic. You have just two choices – you kill or not. As a microbe with teeth, you have a choice of killing of just being a vegetarian. As you go through the process of evolution, you evolve to dry land from the primordial soup. Here again, you have a choice between killing or befriending things by singing little songs to them.

As a society is formed with important decisions such as the kind of buildings to have in the first village, your choice is to kill or feed tangles of mouths and legs with plates of oranges. As you move on to a civilized location, your choice is between building machines that kill or maraca factories.

Surprisingly, the non violent aspect of this game is extremely interesting, in fact, even more interesting than killing a creature by just clicking on it. As the lizard plays dead for your amusement, copy a bipedal lizard with many fangs to show that you are not different. Make a bag of eyes your bitch by dancing for it.

There are five addictive and simple sub-games offering players with a stream of new and exciting stuff. Excitement is offered not by swords but with body parts. For instance, you can inspect a skeleton on the beach to evolve a new beak. You can electrify your body by eating a blue, feral kangaroo. Each time you befriend or kill, you earn a DNA point which you can use for mutation.

Mutation process again offers fun and excitement. Have hours of fun designing the most awesome demented creatures and try to animate them with the game. Make it dance, eat, fight and walk, even mate. Creating species is fun and extremely addictive. In fact the Spore PC/Mac version starts with one of your germ species crashes into a cracked open meteor in the sea. You have to flee from spiky, nasty and big things in the water. However, as you eat a lot, your creature swells enough to make your huge hunter a small prey.
