It is another overhaul mod but much bigger than Better Spore, with a myriad of additions to various stages, particularly to the creature and space stages. Platinum Spore is still being updated and the mod’s site is still maintained by Vexx32, maker of Platinum Spore and site-owner.

Visit this “Strategy-Informer' page for a comprehensive list of changes. Some of the important features of Better Spore are:ġ) Increased complexity limits in the game’s editors.Ģ) More involved, more complex and longer stages: Creature stage is adjusted requiring more DNA per brain level, Tribal stage has increased health points and starting food and Space Stage allows for increased difficulty, more varied economy and purchase of the Staff of life.ģ) New items and weapons, like Ultra Proton-Missile, Ultra Bomb, Ultra Blaster and Staff of the Apocalypse. It is a mod created by community users “Ball Lightning,' “Kittani' and some others. Worth the money, I thought.Better Spore is considered an overhaul mod since it adds considerable changes to gameplay, makes changes to the game’s economy and provides a wealth of new content. But it's a fun game, and more intelligent than most video games out there. I wouldn't use this as more than a place to start a discussion about evolution, and how it's different than this. I did see the science being taught in this, though it did lean more towards 'intelligent design' than actual evolution. He would have expected a bit more in between. Then suddenly it skips ahead from tribes to battle tanks - a drastic jump in his mind.

He says that it's kind of strange - the game goes from cell life to organism, from organism to animal, from animal to tribes. My 9 year old persevered, and got through to the end. The game lost me at the 3rd stage, where the controls got changed, and the tutorial was poor. Overall it's a fun game to play, and we both enjoyed the first two stages. As another reviewer said, this game really is 4 mini-games, and it's supposed to show the evolution of a creature from cellular stage in the ocean to a space faring race. My 9 year old plays this game - and I played a little bit too.

Spore play as epic mod
