That's not the one. In any case I posed it as a hypothetical question.

I mean, where's the fun in it if your end product is as dull as we are, not that the evolutionary process is a boring unfun thing.
What's that quote about the journey itself being the reward? In the context of any game what is left at the games' end? It's the process in between the start and end we buy the game for.

And finally, I certainly do not believe that humans are dull, we have the potential, and have shown it, for some great works. What we do with that potential can be wrong, but that's the price we pay for developing an abnormally large brain.
Yes, but any sentient species would have the same potential. And I'd probably be saying this whatever we looked like, but because we look like what we look like, I just don't see the attraction of... uhh... creating us how we are.

But, hey, that's one of the great things about open ended gameplay. You play it your way, I play it mine, we both use the same toyset to play and have fun the way we want to :)

I'd seen that video before, and I have to say that this game looks awesome to me! It's my most anticipated game this year, which is saying something when it's considered that it's the only one I intend to /buy/

Really, very few games have seemed interesting to me in recent times, but Spore looks as if it's going to balance things nicely. =)

I take it you don't have a DS, then? :P

Actually the sentient race will be different, depending on how you make them. If they have a tail they'll have different potential. And the more I think about it the more I want to re-enact the evolution of man

Physically the potential may be different, mentally, however, I don't think so.

That can never be known as it has the potential to be different every single time a similar race is created, just as it is different for every single individual of that race.
