Spore Creature Creator 2-D set free in your browser

Now here's some ... creative marketing. Maxis has launched a Flash-based browser version of the Spore Creature Creator that mimics the customization found in the retail game fairly closely. Only, y'know, in 2D. All 250 parts found in the 3D creator are available and there's even the option to import creatures from millions found in the Sporepedia (although we found many are "not supported" at this time).
The app is promoting the impending October 6 release of Spore Hero on Wii (and Spore Hero Arena for DS), but, even if you're not juiced about either game, it's great for creating loving, extremely flattering versions of your friends, family and co-workers -- which must then be placed on their Facebook feeds, of course.

Why a flash imitation? There are plenty of legitimate ways to have interactive 3d in a web browser.
Actually flash can do 3d, but it's not quite the same.

Then what'd be the need to buy the game?

It's pretty cool. Not as cool as the one in the game, but then the creator is the best part of the game by far.

I cant hate on this really, just tryed it out and it work just as it said it would and its free so ill just say good job Maxis. Its nothing to crazy but hey this not a bad way promote a game vs 100 pops up ads on gaming sites, seeing as the wii has no demo download page for wii games.

Oh you can get DS demo on the wii, I am almost sure on that, not 100% if most games get demo's tho. Need to put down Scribblenauts and dust off my wii lol.
