Not so great...
This game just isn't all that great!!!
I say... just stick with Sims 2 or look forward to Sims 3.
Spore might be fun for elementary school children but past that age it is BORING!!!
Boring, boring boring...

What a waste of money.
After waiting for so long for Spore to come out (which, of course, is still months away), I was really excited to see that the Creature Creator was available. I was hoping to get a sense of how the game will work, as well as to get a head start on my creations.
The Creature Creator is unbearably slow, which sucks all of the (potential) fun right out of it. Not only that, but when I tried to save my creature the first time, it froze up and I had to force a shut down without saving, so all of my work was for nothing.
Not to be deterred, I gave it another shot. This time, when I tried to save my creature, my whole computer crashed.
The problem is not my computer; it was fine before I used the Creature Creator, and it's fine now. The problem is this ridiculously slow, aggravating, useless waste of time.
Save your money.
I sure wish I had.

Demo for sale
While making creatures is fun, what you can do with your creature is quite limited. This is nothing more than a small demo of the game. I don't recommend people paying for this and I am kind of upset it is being sold in the first place.
Download and try the free trial version off the official game site. It is stripped down so you have limited body parts and what not, but is essentially the same, and if you only spend 15 minutes messing around and feel like you've had enough you wont have wasted ten bucks.

Not just another toy
Spore Creature Creator
Spore from EA is one of the most anticipated games of the last few years. To appease the fans, EA has released a great teaser application, the Spore Creature Creator.
The creator isn't just another take on an electronic Mr. Potato HeadMR. POTATO HEAD. The application allows the player to select from a wealth of features to form their creation. There are choices in several categories: head, arms/legs, senses, hands, feet, weapons, and an adornment type category.
Each body part brings it's own plusses to the creature. More legs = more speed. More weapons = more attacks and more power behind them. More sensory choices brings with it more charm.
There's a built in complexity limit. This limit caps out what you can add to the creature, though it does allow for the oddest things. One creature I created had six sets of legs. Of course one can add just as many eyes, ears, legs, or tails. So the limit won't be likely to crimp even the craziest styles.
Once built, you can take your creature out for a spin. You'll be able to watch a wide variety of animations, including dancing and punching. There's even a mating call action.
So you've built your creature and that's it right? Wrong. The Spore Creature Creator allows you to upload and share your creatures. Still shots can be emailed to friends, movies uploaded to YouTube and creatures shared on the Spore sight. There other Spore users can vote and comment on them.
I highly recommend this game, especially for $10.

'Intelligent Design' never looked less stupid.
This is not a full game as such, purely a part of the upcoming SPORE release.
Others have commented on how much fun and how easy it is to create magnificently rendered monsters and creatures. What is particularly impressive is how the creature moves and reacts in quite a realistic manner based on the limbs and attachments that you give it.
What is even more amazing is that all of the user content created and uploaded to the SPORE server can potentially be used to populate the worlds that your creatures will inhabit once you get started with the full game.
If you are looking forward to the full SPORE release then you owe it to the SPOREverse to start creating and uploading now.
If $10 is too much then download the free trial version, it's fully functional you just get 25% of the available body parts to play with.
