The verdict
A beloved creative expansion adding planet-surface adventures and an adventure creator to Spore. The Steam version has broken online access and frequent crashes, so skip it if you need community content.
Great for
Creative players and Spore nostalgics who enjoy making creatures and adventures and will tolerate jank
Main risk
Steam version can't use online content without EA support, and it crashes often with no autosave
