I want to talk about the Spore Galaxy itself. While the gameplay leaves something to be desired for many of us, I'm actually pleased with the way the galaxy itself was made (annoyingly cute aside). There's a huge number of stars that make it up, they're spaced out to the point of forming actual spiral arms and the voids between them. Planets, both rocky and gaseous, have moons (I don't recall if I've seen any multi-moon worlds) and some of those moons are life-baring and colonizable, just like what we were promised then denied in Moo3. All sorts of little graphical touches like comets, asteroid belts, planetary rings. Standing on the surface of one world in Creature, I sat down and watched the sun rise, and then a planet closer in rise shortly after, and then a gas giant on the other side of the system rise. While that's a fair bit unrealistic, I actually appreciated the artistic license they took to give me that vista. I (meaning me, not my creature) had a genuine smile on my face because I was pleasantly surprised. In a different game, I encountered one spacefarer whose homeworld orbits a binary star! I'd've been even more impressed if their homeworld were the moon of a gas giant as well. There's also the blackholes and wormholes(?) and maybe in future addons (*sigh*) they'll include further phenomenon like nebulae, giants and dwarfs (and orcs, oh my).
What do y'all think?
