I'm confused...you can purchase it for $10, or you could get it for free if you get it only on the 17th of June? Or will it only be an online demo?

There's a product called Spore Creature Creator that comes out June 17 for $10. Also on that day is a demo for that product.

So there's a demo of the creature editor, or you can buy the full version for $10? That seems like a really odd marketing ploy.

They should have released the creature editor as a demo for the game itself, and make it free. This would give players an opportunity to experience the strength behind this game, and it would encourage them to buy the full game once they've created an armada of wacky animals they could import into the full game.

Why make a demo of a demo that has a price associated with it?

Sweet...with my new laptop coming in on Monday it should be powerful enough to run a game like this I think...

However depending on how good they make the console version I may just play the demo on my notebook and just get the full game on my 360...

Glad to see that this game still exists. It looks majorly awesome.

I'm pretty sure your old laptop could have run this too, unless it's ancient. C'mon, this isn't Crysis. They're not going to force you to buy a car-priced computer for this one....

What the heck - Paying for the creature creator? Is it me, or is that just a tiny wee bit crazy? I remember the Sims 2 giving their equivalent - admittedly less flexible - creator away for free. If you buy the full game, does it include the creator?

Let's all say this together children:

THE PRICE OF AN OBJECT IS WHAT PEOPLE WILL PAY FOR IT.

If you don't want it, DON'T PAY FOR IT.

A free demo of a payed demo of a game.

Sounds like EA are trying to one-up GT5-prologue.

They'd have to charge you 66% of the full version for that to happen. At least EA is offering a free version, unlike the $100 GT5 that Prologue players are paying.

I can wait three months to get the rest of the creature editor features.

Are you referring to the Wal*mart deal with GT5P & Logitech wheel? x_o?

Not even that. $40 for GT5 Prologue + $60 for the full game if you're lucky...

$50 for Mario Kart? Oh, it's Nintendo. That explains that.

*I* paid the $10 preorder because I want it and it's the right price. I'll definitely be spending more time on the editor than playing a tired remake of a remake of a remake of a remake of a remake of a remake of a remake of a remake of a remake of a remake of a remake of a remake of a remake of a remake of a remake of a remake of a remake of a remake of a remake of a remake of a remake of a remake of a remake of a remake of a remake of a remake of a remake of a remake of a remake of a remake of a remake of a remake of a remake of a remake of a remake of a remake of a remake of a remake of a remake of a remake of a remake of a remake of a remake of a remake of a remake of a remake of a remake of a remake.

By the way, I loved the whacked out look of that creature as it's mating. It's both confused and shocked at the same time. Must be a virgin...

$10 is cheap enough for people to not even think about. For you Xbox Live people, let me translate it: 800 MS points. Now, does that seem too expensive anymore?

That said, I'll just try out the demo. We've waited this long for Spore already; I think we can wait until September.

So I love me some Will Wright and all, but does it make sense to pay $10 for a teaser to a game I'll spend $60 on for the collector's edition less than six months later? Can I use the Creature Creator purchase towards Spore, like the $10 for CC is the pre-order, which just happens to come with a game? I can't be the only one thinking this.

Does anyone think girls will like this and finally give up the shit the sims? I tried mentioning this to a girl who is disgustingly addicted to that shit and she said and I quote "spore, that sounds gross", if that is most other girls response we may have to way a while longer for girls to really get into gaming.

It may seem like you're paying $10 for a demo, but from what I've heard, the creator is pretty powerful. And supposedly the game keeps an encyclopedia of everything you make, and they're all tagged with your username.

I view this as a very smart move. Not from a business point of view, but because the whole point of Spore is that it pulls all of its creatures that inhabit the worlds from the internet database. By releasing the creator in June, they ensure that people will have a massive amount of content to stream into their game when it comes out.

In summary - you're doing the creature programming for them.

I don't want to encourage this sort of behavior from EA, but chances are I'll pay the $10 for the full version. I'll try out the free version first...but if I find myself pouring hours into it each day I'll gladly part with a little bit of money to have 300% more options.

The whole point is that you will end up not being able to SAVE any of the creatures you make if you just get the free demo.

The point of paying a measly $10 (Less expensive than a DVD) is that you will be able to make a ton of creatures ahead of time so when the game comes out you will be able to focus solely on playing and evolving them.

It's a brilliant idea, and if $10 is enough to make you whine and moan, then I don't really know what to say to you.

thats a pretty twisted thing to say, i mean why does anyone care if the creature is a vergin or not, doesnt the game need more perverts like you? answer is no. just leave it alone, you would be better off asking yourself the very same question when you were younger cause it wouldnt do you good then just like im having to explain to you, how out of place that comment was

yea i totally understand Voxx, its like if you dont have the money then you shouldnt be on a computer regardless, and if your worried about playing it for too long and becoming adicted , then get a life, and if both seem ok but you just dont have the money, GET A JOB and pay your water bill, cause its important, its not like the game can be a water fountain also, and a refridge and a shower and a social box, hey and it can be your wife, kids and family, heck even your home just live in a box and hook your computer up to a drop cord you plug in a resturant near by, watch the years fade, you become homeless, YOU OVER RETARTED WARCRAFT GEEKS, sorry for the out burst but all of this is true for some people, im stressing this because i had a friend who played warcraft and i played with me, but i always remember geting off before he did, and one night i went to his house to see what he was doing, and i found a note and his body on the floor covered in blood next to a gun and his computer was slashed on the floor, i cryed like a baby for 1 week, i had lost my best friend, now i swear im gona never become adicted to such a sill thing as a video game, although i am looking foward to playing this game so much

In this Spore Creature Creator, will we be able to play a world map like in Will Wrights demonstartion and travel round the universe or will it be just for creating your own monster and thats it?

This is just a creature editor, and i am getting it. The last game i got was COD4 in Feb, and i am dying for something new. This game is going to be go great, that i cant wait any longer. I heard about it 6 months ago from a friend and looked it up, and my mouth was hanging open. I will definately get this 10 dollar creature editor, so everyone can see my amazing creatures and say wow, cause like my creatures, this game will be awesome.

For info the EA website will give you a coupon code for $10 off the price of Spore, if you buy the Creature Creator online. So you don't really spend $10 on top of the price of the full Spore.
