Spore Creature Creator

By Marcie McIndoe (JayCat) (gamefocus.ca)

Spore is the brainchild of Will Wright, creator of SimCity and The Sims. Spore's original name was rumored to be “SimEverything”, thank goodness for the change, but it was on target. Spore is a simulation game where you take a creature from a single...

Let your creativity be unleashed, the amount of customization is astounding ; The paint jobs are unbelievable ; Its a very new type of game, you have to see it ; Youtube tie in is golden

Wish I could just save and trade pictures ; Not the full game. For people who have to have an objective, can be frustrating

Its a very new type of game, you have to see it

Spore Creature Creator Review (PC)

By GaR (buttonmasher.co.nz)

With anticipation for Maxis' new “Sim-Everything” – a game humbly entitled Spore – reaching new levels of absurd, EA has given gamers an interim fix in the form of the Spore Creature Creator. It's an editor that allows you to create your own creature...

Mostly though, the Spore Creature Creator is an interactive teaser. A demonstration of one small aspect of one phase of Spore. The full version is going to be epic. The Creator has given us a hint of what the devs are capable of, and I for one am well...

It's possible to create almost any kind of creature you can imagine, and the intertubes have disgorged many critters that most of us would never have thought of. Trogdor the Burninator

Spore Creature Creator

By Jason Cisarano (gamingtarget.com)

Once you've got a creature built, you can take it for a test drive and apply some pre-made animations supplied by the game designers. There's a handful of things like greetings, attacks, emotes, and even dances that all automatically work with your...

It's probably the least satisfying part of the Creature Creator—once you've seen the animations, there's hardly any reason to run all your creations through them other than to make sure there are no major glitches with your setup
