Cell Stage The Cell Stage (sometimes referred to as the tide pool, cellular, or microbial stage) is the very first stage in the game, and begins with a cinematic explanation of how the players cell got onto the planet through the scientific concept of panspermia, with a meteor crashing into the ocean of a planet and breaking apart, revealing a single-celled organism.

Covering many genres including action, real-time strategy, and role-playing games, Spore allows a player to control the development of a species from its beginnings as a microscopic organism, through development as an intelligent and social creature, to interstellar exploration as a spacefaring culture.

It has drawn wide attention for its massive scope, and its use of open-ended gameplay and procedural generation.

Throughout each stage, players are able to use various creators to produce content for their games.

Spore was released after several delays to generally favorable reviews.

Praise was given for the fact that the game allowed players to create customized creatures, vehicles and buildings.

However, Spore was criticized for its gameplay which was seen as shallow by many reviewers; GameSpot remarked: Individual gameplay elements are extremely simple.

Controversy surrounded Spore due to the inclusion of SecuROM, and its digital rights management software, which can potentially open the users computer to security risks.

Gameplay Spore allows the player to develop a species from a microscopic organism to its evolution into a complex animal, its emergence as a social, intelligent being, to its mastery of the planet and then finally to its ascension into space, where it interacts with alien species across the galaxy.

Throughout the game, the players perspective and species change dramatically.

The outcome of one phase affects the initial conditions and leveling facing the player in the next.

Each phase exhibits its own style of play, and has been described by the developers as ten times more complicated than its preceding phase.

Phases often feature optional missions; when the player completes a mission, they are granted a bonus, such as a new ability or money.

If all of a players creations are completely destroyed at some point, the species will be respawned at its nearest colony or at the beginning of the phase.

Note that there is no time limit for any stage: the player may stay in a single stage as long as they wish, and progress to the next stage when ready.

At the end of each phase, the players actions cause their creature to be assigned a characteristic, or consequence trait.

Each phase has three consequence traits, usually based on how aggressively or peacefully the phase was played.

Stages Spore is a game that is separated into stages, each stage presenting a different type of experience with different goals to achieve.

The five stages are the Cell Stage, the Creature Stage, the Tribal Stage, the Civilization Stage, and the Space Stage.

Once the primary objective is completed, the player has the option to advance to the next stage, or continue playing the current stage.
