GameInformer and Eurogamer have posted their impressions of Spore at the Leipzig GC.

GameInformer speak mainly about the creature and tribal phase, including some interesting new bits of information, including:

"Once build, the harvester tooled around looking for puffs of smoke, which are sure signs of buried spice in Spore’s world. This spice is the centerpiece of the game’s economy, which will be familiar territory to anyone who’s played an RTS in the past."


Eurogamer meanwhile... talks about pretty much the same thing. However they do confirm that Spore will be coming to consoles at some point in the future:

"Maxis has confirmed that there are plans to develop a version of Spore for consoles - but said it won't be released alongside the PC and DS versions.

The confirmation came at this week's Leipzig GC, during a behind closed doors demo of the game. When asked whether Spore will hit consoles Maxis exec Patrick Buechener replied, "Not right now, but we see this as a franchise."

He added, "It just won't be at launch.""
