Spice World is a video game that was released in 1998. Starring the Spice Girls, the game shares its name with a movie also starred by the famous British girl group.

In the game, players have to prepare the Spice Girls for a live television concert by doing such things as teaching them the dance steps they must do at the show, choosing the song they will perform, and the sequence in which the song's lyrics will be sung. When it's time for the show to happen, the player gets to be a camera-person, deciding which camera shots will go and the angle from which the girls will be 'seen'. The player gets to watch the girls sing and dance as the player has directed them to, with the camera shots selected by the player. The player is instructed by a disco king on what to do. The Spice Girls lent their voices to their characters in the game.

It was labelled as a "fan trap" that was "slow, uninspired, and unrewarding" by IGN, and GameSpot remarked that they "wouldn't recommend this game to a single fan." They also compared the game to Parappa the Rapper.
