Luck for you there is a free version as well.

Although I do wonder the price point of the retail version, I am glad to see there is a different way to get the free verision than jsut the SimCity box

Seriously, people were bitching about how GT5 is a glorified demo, and now EA does something even worse.

So if you can make a creature to look like Watto, maybe I can make a whole race of Gungans, and then a whole race of something (anything) else to slaughter the Gungans!

Buy!

I was going to say something regarding "blah blah blah, boycott EA and blah blah blah, evil company etc" but screw it all, I know I'm buying this.

And to play devil's advocate further, this is a great way to make sure there's already an awesome "population" of user-made Spore creatures throughout the "universe" when the game ships.

The Creature Editor is fairly meaty. I'll happily spend the $10 for it.

That screenshot looks like Watto from Star Wars Episode 1, the blue dude who owned Anakin and his mom.

I'm a Spore fan, so I'm buying this. All I need from EA/Maxis, though, is some confirmation of a UK June release of this.

I really don't see the issue with this, though, that others here are making out. You buy the Creature Creator, start creating your race and contribute to a database of other species (Sporepedia) and then when Spore launches 3 months later, you'll have a whole heap of species to inhabit your planet and you're basically aiding the community as a whole by getting in their early. Who knows what bonuses there might be for early adopters?

Fucking EA fuck you and your bullshit, why can't you just let us make creatures for free and when your game comes out we won't hate the shit out of you.

Yes but you only get 25% of the customization options, you need to pay to unlock the other 75%, which is bullshit, it's the same crap that you get on MMOs, and EA just loves to micro micro micro charge use

Pay to access my acount access acount.

So stupid.

The whole point, as Will Wright put it, is to create a system where the consumer adds value to the product, or in this case creates the product, for free- no cost to the original game creator. Then you take his idealism and genius and mix in a little EA bloodsucking leech mentality and you get this bull. We are paying them for the game and giving them millions of dollars of what amounts to free development for them but no- they want to hit us all up for change twice at the gate. No thank you.

I was all set to download the creature creator but now I'll wait until the game comes out or EA gets at least one of its hands out of the damn cookie jar. Fat chance.

Umm shut up? You don't need to buy it and it's perfectly reasonable to wait for a couple more months if you don't want to pay twice. I, personally will be buying it since I'm not anal about this kind of shit. (I have 85 dollars saved up just for spore...and I'm 15) Yes 85 dollars so i'm GUARANTEED to be able to afford it and play it. This includes costs of the stand alone creature editor.
