Live Demo at Comic-con

Here’s an interest article on the live Spore demo presented at this year’s comic-con. Read it here. The following is a short snippet:

Since he’s shown off the creature phase of the game at various events before, Wright was keen to jump right into the civilization phase. Here, his creatures had already developed intelligence and built a civilization — he was now competing with other civilizations in order to dominate and unify the planet. Wright loaded up a saved game where he was already very advanced.

Wright described the civilization phase as “an interesting blend of a very simple SimCity and a very simple Civilization.” You could build and rearrange individual buildings in your cities (as with everything else in Spore, you can design or download your own buildings). Or you could focus on assaulting other cities spanning the globe.
