If Will Wright pulls it off, Spore will be one of the most innovative and unique games in history.

Gameplay
Spore will be a simulation that "ranges from the cellular phase to the galactic phase."[9] It will consist of several long phases, each with its own style of play. Will Wright also mentioned that he wanted the player to be able to spend as much or as little time as they wanted in each stage. If one person likes the creature stage, the game will not force them to move on until they are ready.
The games and films with which Wright associated the various phases are:
Pac-Man for the cellular phase
Diablo for the creature phase
Populous for the tribal phase
SimCity, Risk, and Civilization for the civilization phase
SimEarth, Destroy All Humans!, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Star Trek and 2001: A Space Odyssey for the space phase, with elements of sandbox gameplay.[10] DICE 2007 referred to it as similar to Master of Orion.
Each phase of the game determines the starting point of the next phase. In the Game Developers Conference presentation, the creature that Will Wright was "guiding" through the creature phase was based on his earlier cell creature. It had three legs, a tail, eyes and a mouth in roughly the same position. He had evolved this creature through gameplay of the prior phases.
He mentioned that the creatures' personality, whether it be logical or emotional, peaceful or violent, etc, is also affected by this gameplay.
During the 2007 TED conference seminar, Wright revealed that all phases could be accelerated, even having eons pass by in moments during the experimentation of a planet's biosphere.[11]
