Eight years ago, one of the best life-simulation games was released by Steam. Spore 2 captured the attention of a lot of gaming fans but a second installment has not yet come until now.
Fans of the game are now clamoring for an update to the game noting that it's already time for "Spore 2." "Spore was a marvel. It's crying out for a sequel," said Rock Paper Shotgun's Graham Smith. He explained that there were a lot of areas that the game could have improved but it won't be possible without a sequel.
What is Spore?
Playing Spore allows gamers to develop their species to real-world and customized creatures. These will evolve from a cell to a creature, join a tribe, enter civilization then go to space. Every stage of evolution poses a challenge to gamers which they need to successfully pass to move on to the next stage.
Customizing a creature is fun since players can add legs, eyes, arms and other body parts to their characters. Players enter the tribal stage by finding friends in the game and performing certain tasks.
Petition to have 'Spore 2'
A lot of fans loved the game that some even thought of having a petition to have an update on the 2008 offering. Kyle Tingey's petition indicated that since the game is already outdated, its developers need to come up with "Spore 2."
Game developer Maxis has been absorbed by EA and fans think that he is having second thoughts of releasing another Spore game for fear that it will not sell. Tingey, however, said that players of the game will prove the developer wrong.
He has started spreading word about the petition and asked people to do the same. Smith, on the other hand, highlighted that there are still a lot of gamers playing Spore and all of them are waiting for an update. Will Spore see another installment soon? Fans surely hope so.
