I got spore the ether day I love it. it is the best game I have ever played.  It inspires my imagination in ways that I thought weren't possible.  And that galactic stages is absolutely massive, and very fun.  It's like playing the enterprise shows through to voyager, and beyond.  But instead of having a fixed look you get to decide what it looks like.  And if you don't like Li a planet looks then you can reshape it using that Taraforming tools.  Or if you really don't like the planet then you can blow it up.  I haven't quite got that far I know you can do it.
