Computer Games writes: "A show dog. A Mastino Napoletano, a flawless specimen, claws and ears cut, straight-up head, huge skin hanging organized off its massive body. Sure, it's impeccable, brushed, washed and raised with the healthiest diet a show dog can get, but it's dead.
Layed out, a giant on a showlight-burned podium, tongue out and a dozen flies looping over its big, black head. Under rounds of applause and enthusiastic smiles, he's awarded the golden medal – a perfect animal in the eyes of the jury. It's just too bad he won't ever be able to bring back your Frisbee or play with your kids. This is Spore."
