Maxis has released images of the official box art for Spore, hoping to further excite fans.
Well, there it is. Does it get you revved up for the game? Yeah, me neither.
I’m not sure this is the best art to reflect the nature of the game. It doesn’t quite scream, “Amazing innovative Will Wright sim game based on evolution we’ve been waiting for years to play!” Instead, it seems to say, “Hey kids, play this game. It have colorful aminals.” I may even like the fake (or teaser?) white box art previously posted on EA’s site.
At least you can get the ESRB rating (“Everyone 10+”) from it and that it’s a DVD-ROM. Spore is scheduled to be released September 7, 2008, in the US for PC, MAC, Nintendo DS (as Spore Creatures) and Mobile and iPhone (as Spore Origins).
The Spore Creature Creator is currently available as a free download from the Spore web site, allowing you to create your own creature base don the game and upload it to Sporepedia.
Millions of lifeforms have already been created and these are the best they could find for the box? *sigh* What do you think about it? Before you answer, here it is, a bit larger:
I like it. Perhaps with future releases they'll incorporate some of the user created creatures.
