TotalVideoGames.com has published their interview with Thomas Vu, Spore Game Producer (you have to admit, to have such a title simply has a certain ring to it.)
Fair Use Excerpt:TVG: Firstly, could you take us through the key features of the five games, with a stress on the Space mode?
In Cell game it's about surviving. The basic instinct of a creature is to flee, or to eat. So, that's Cell game; you just have to survive to evolve. Then you get to Creature game and that's all about higher brain order, so you're evolving by having your brain get larger. The other thing in Creature is that you're trying to become the dominant species on the planet, which can be done by conquering and making other creatures extinct.
However, we had this idea of extinction or befriending. As you move through the world, other creatures are evolving too. Some creatures won't evolve because they're like the Dodo - they're dumb and they'll just die off. But, other creatures are evolving too and you want to be sort of like their masters.
