Will Wright talks about his new game Spore

Spores 3D Creature creator

For those outside the gaming world Spore is the latest project from Will Wright one of the game industry's most fertile minds and the creator of the groundbreaking SimCity and The Sims, which has to date sold over 100 million copies worldwide. Wright has created the the Spore 3D creature creator with over a one million creatures being created in the space of a week.

Asked what he wanted people to get out of spore Wright said, “One of his goals for this whole thing has been to give somebody an awe-inspiring global view of reality, almost like a drug-induced epiphany with a computer. The kind of, "Oh, man, what if we were a molecule inside of a galaxy?" type thing. Can we transfer that experience -- that, I don't want to say drug-induced, but I guess it is, or almost theological meaning-of-life-type experience -- into an interactive computer game?
