In this final phase, you can basically do whatever you want. The cool thing is that there are billions of other planets, and many are inhabited by the civilizations of other Spore players. With the UFO you can fly to other planets and colonize then, seed them with life, mess with the inhabitants, etc. This is where things get really interesting. Finally, when your civilization has firm control over the planet, you can earn access to a UFO. Once your tribe dominates, you control the whole civilization and the game becomes more like Sim City (Spore is made by the same people who made the Sim City and Civilization games). At this point, you get less direct control of your species’ evolution and instead control a whole tribe as they grow to become the dominant creatures on the planet. After evolving a big enough brain, you move on to the Tribal phase. You run around on land, avoid enemies, reproduce and continue to evolve. Eventually you emerge from the ocean and the game switches from the pac-man-like cell phase to the 3D Creature phase.
