You can’t just beam down on every planet you come across, of course – you generally take missions from other alien races in an attempt to make them hate you a little less, and they’ll tell you where to go and what to do. So it’s pretty nifty, then, that Galactic Adventures allows you to create a space captain and have him beam down to the planets, carrying out missions and unlocking a bunch of new equipment along the way. One of the main drawbacks of this stage was that you were forever confined to your spaceship, unable to actually set foot on the hundreds of planets you discovered. Spore: Galactic Adventures is designed to bolt on seamlessly to the main game’s final – and most interesting – stage, where you’re whizzing around the galaxy, colonising planets and waging war against other races. And now we’ve got the first proper expansion pack for it (or the second if you count the Creepy and Cute pack – we’re not sure you should, though). A shame, then, if not a completely unenjoyable one. A classic victim of its own hype, Spore could never really have delivered on all its promises, and what we ended up with was a load of really interesting ideas stuck to a series of rubbish, scaled-down versions of other video games. Hey! Remember Spore? It’s better known as What Will Wright Did After The Sims, it was meant to be the second coming, and it turned out to be… um, pretty good, I guess.
