Spore is an excellent family-friendly game that can teach a wide variety of scientific subjects while being fun and inspiring a lot of creativity. There are 5 stages of the game, each one a kind of game in its own. Each one focuses on simple evolutionary concepts, anthropological concepts or cosmological concepts, sure to teach without the kids even being aware of it. One of the best things about Spore is that unlike most games, you are not forced to kill everything to advance the game. You can actually play the entire game never killing anything and being purely peaceful and making friends. This is one of the few games I don't mind my kids playing a lot.The cell stage corresponds most closely to the evolution of single-celled organisms into multicellular cell colonies, mollusks and simple fish. Concepts of carnivore, omnivore and herbivore are taught and the connection with the type of mouth that is used. This stage is very easy and short, merely laying the groundwork for the meat of the game.The Creature Stage is the most enjoyable for my kids. They literally have a hundred different saved games at the creature stage. This is basically a 3rd person action game. The level of creativity is very high since you have an impressively powerful and easy tool to create creatures. My 5-year-old can make some very unique creations with a minimal of effort. For an adult, you can create a huge variety of creatures, the possiblities seem endless. Your animal evolves and becomes more complex moving from the early amphibian stage of life up to human-level complexity. You can form Packs, learn about migrations and ecosystems, extinction, co-evolution and the general tendency of creatures to evolve into more complex forms with more specialized tools.The Tribal stage advances your fully evolved creatures to stone-age level. Tribal huts are created, you learn technologies like Stone Axe, Torches and musical instruments (again so you can win the stage without killing your competition). This is actually an extension of the creature stage and is a straightforward realtime strategy game type.Civilzation stage advances to a modern level of technologies, with air forces, cities, armies and navies. You can design your own vehicles of each type and several types of buildings to put in your cities. This is a rather simple strategy game and can be completed quite rapidly. .Space stage for me is the most impressive from a teaching standpoint. In this stage the entire galaxy is your playground, and Spore has a GORGEOUS model of a spiral galaxy with tens of thousands of individual stars in it. You can discover planetary systems, dead worlds, alien worlds full of life, and alien civilizations. After many hours of playing and expanding your galactic empire, zoom out and discover how much of the galaxy you have really explored and you see that the whole enormous region of your empire is just a tiny insignificant region, swallowed up in a sea of stars. It gave my kids a great understanding of how vast the universe is and what kinds of stars and planets we can find out there. The space stage teaches many things, including the basics of economics and trade, diplomacy, astronomy and cosmology, and some great sci-fi concepts like Terraforming, Uplifting, Wormholes and more. What other game lets you blast enemy cities with asteroids that not only eradicate the city but also alter or destroy whole ecosystems? Hit your enemy with 3 -4 asteroids and watch their lush green world becomes an airless lifeless ball of rock. Likewise you can spend hours colonizing, exploring, terraforming and customizing your worlds and setting up trade routes.
