I haven't seen it in action but I've read alot about spore and honestly I'll believe it when I see it. Anyone can come up with these fantastic ideas but most of the time they don't translate into very compelling gameplay. Case in point practically everything Peter Maleneux has produced in the past five years. Just take a look at black and white, fable, or the unreleased and the soon to be cancelled movies to see my point.
