Electronic Arts has released a new behind the scenes video showing off Maxis' anticipated god-game Spore.

The short clip features Maxis resident design professor Will Wright and others talking about the ambitious title, which will allow players to create a life-form and follow it from a single-cell phase of evolution to eventual interstellar travel.

Get the Flash Player to see this player.

Spore is on track for a September 7 release on PC, with a DS version releasing simultaneously.

By seeing that women wearing that hat one can easyly think that something is going wrong in Maxis in general. And the person in the end of the video is a man or a women? Apart from that the game looks awesome but only thanks to the super nerd genious of Will Wright because if we had to judge the people that surround him....

I gotta love the microscope on Wright's desk though. If it weren't for the completely generic, up-tempo, psuedo-electronica music playing, I would have thought this was something more intriguing than another cheap EA marketing video. Either that, or an extremely dead pan parody of a college recruiting video.

When is the Shack gonna get some Will Wright interview love? I would also accept a Shack contest for an autographed picture of him in a thong.

not really the thong pic, but the interview or Q&A would be awesome.
