Full Spore Creature Creator Coming This June

April 21, 2008 12:27 PM

Maxis marketing VP Patrick Buechner said that a trial version of the creature creator in the company's upcoming life sim Spore will hit PCs this June, IGN reports.

The Creator Creator will allow gamers to get a head start in crafting the unique alien species for use in the title, which is currently slated for a September release. The trial will be functionally identical to the creator found in the full game.

Containing around 25% of the total creature parts from Spore, the trial will be be available for free via download from the game's official website, as well as a pack-in bonus in the upcoming SimCity Box compilation.

A version will also be available on retail shelves around the same time, which is said to include every creature part from the full title. A price for the retail version of the Spore Creature Creator was not immediately available.

  knowing people like my wife... and all the Millions that buy Sims and Sims Expansions, I disagree with your thoughts on it becoming a failure.

  I really hope you're wrong, it has the potential to be a big hit if done properly.

  Yes. Good thinking. Don't build up hype for it. Let's all say its going to be crap...

  I hope it's not, it really sounds like a really good concept, and fun game to play... It's just taking forever to be released.. I don't mind waiting if the game is cool, but the hype may go down and the sales could hurt them.

  When this creator comes out you're totally going to get it and we're going to have to suffer your posts about all the great poop and dick monsters you've made

  Never before have I had such an "on the fence" feeling about a game. I see the great potential this has but I also see how easily it could be horrible. I literally have no idea if this game is going to be awesome or absolute crap.
  
  I've resigned myself to a "wait and see" approach.

  It definitely won't be like the Sims.

    I agree... it is too funky and odd to hit Sims-like numbers.

  I was very excited about this game at one time... but over the decades... those feelings have slowly dwindled.
