I really dislike this latest trend of describing either studio culture or game lineage as "DNA". :/

I always preferred the space stage, if they had put more into it i think I would still be playing it now (maybe forever)

I was going to guess a kids targeted Wii game at first, but looking at that list, it seems to be a PC exclusive.

The space stage of Spore is like MOO2 but better.
The cell stage was fun.
The creature stage was addictive.
The tribal stage was a mess
The civ stage was boring
The space stage was amazingly fun and terribly addictive.
I ended up putting over 20 hours into the space stage. It was great to play while listening to podcasts.
I agree though, the space stage desperately needed more unique things to do. In fact, each of the stages did.

For me:
Cell stage was fun but the old art work was better.
Creature stage was pretty cool but shallow. I liked seeing the planets overhead.
Tribal stage was a shit RTS game.
Civ stage was an even shitter RTS game.
I don't get how people loved the space stage though. Space was huge and looked really cool but horribly designed. You either got your arse kicked as a conquer, or you collected allies and were confined to staying near them because every minute they'd have some problem you'd have to go and fix. You even had to go from planet to planet to collect your resources.
In Spore 2 they should have Creature staqe, Civ stage and Space only and fix the hell out of them. For an RPG they should have only the space stage and again, refine the hell out of it. That would be cool making like an Eve Online but easy and accessible.
I loved the cell stage, but it was too linear and short. I would have loved an option to play an arcade-mode style cell stage that lets you keep growing indefinitely.
I also loved the creature stage, it was addictive, only problem was that the parts were attached to stats, which meant you had to gravitate toward using similar parts on most creatures unless you intentionally handicap yourself.
Tribal stage was like RTS Jr. Not terrible for me since I suck at RTS's, but not terribly fun either.
Civ stage was just going through the motions.
Space stage I could never get into. So much micromanagement, and not being able to land on a planet was a big letdown.
Galactic Adventures could have solved that, but I frankly didn't find that much good content for it, and it's hard to weed out the buggy/poorly made adventures to find the good ones. Plus it takes a long time to rank up your captain, yet many many adventures require advanced parts.
I'll be keeping my eye on the RPG, maybe it'll finally be like having a new E.V.O.
