Spore is the new 'God' game from Will Wright, where players get to create their own alien creatures and guide them from humble beginnings all the way to galactic conquest. We've mentioned that National Geographic will be airing a documentary, How to Build a Better Being, about the game on Sept. 9th. IGN has an exclusive clip from the show about the evolution of eye sight and how it will transfer to evolution in the video game. Rather interesting how the eyesight of the creature affects the display on screen.
I was all set to buy this as soon as it came out, however its been receiving wildly divergent scores so I'm not sure anymore. Anyone else out there buying this one?

I was pretty jazzed about this two years ago when the hype engine was just getting fired up, but it's somehow lost a lot of it's appeal to me - I can't really explain why, maybe I'm just sick & tired of hearing about it.

Same here. I was SURE I would be getting this 2 years ago and now I guess I'll just wait and see what other people think first.

I heard some reports that the program is equipped with some nasty malware/spyware for DRM protection (well, protecting the manufacturer). Anybody able to update on that?
