The eagerly awaited Spore Creature Creator Lite demo which was supposed to have been released on the 17th has leaked early and can easily be found with a bit of searching. There is also a "full" version of the Creator available on the 17th for £4.99. The lite version only has 25% of the full versions capability. Creatures you create can be sent to friends on your friends list, generally messed around with and most importantly, they can be used in the final full retail version of Spore which comes out in September.

This is one game i've been waiting for, just hope it isn't over hyped and plays like it has been promised.

Looks great .

They were going to have an "every 10 day" re-authentification process for this and the PC version of Mass Effect. So basically, if you missed it, you couldnt play the game at all.

Apparently they now have removed it. But you can still only install on 3 PC's, which if means if you changed your system a couple of times and reinstalled it, after the 4th time you need to call up EA to deal with it.

That's fine by me. I don't have a problem with that at all. There was a big hoo-ha about Bioshock for a similar thing but it's never been a problem for me.

Never really understood why everyone was so upset about the online registration stuff. Mass Effect has really poor reviews on amazon.co.uk and most of them are created before the game was released and they are all bashing the online stuff

weeeeird

saw some spore creations in PCG, the creature creator sounds awesome.... *makes note to download it when the Soulstorm addiction's worn off*

Had an e-mail from EA telling me the full version I ordered will be delayed until 22nd BAH!

Typical.

I love it.

You can make badass monsters:


The gf can make cute(ish) friendly looking creatures:


Or you can just be plain mental:


Not bad what you can do for a limited demo!

come back the 17th for the free trail....IT is the 17th!!! oh well gotta wait till they wake up and go to work i guess. Also If you pay for the creator does that mean you pay for it again when you get the game or is there no creator in the game?.....which is kinda like half to a third of the point isnt it?
