Spore

Earlier this week I was lucky enough to be one of a handful of people on earth to get a sneak-peek and early access to the Creature Creator for the upcoming Spore game release. The disc arrived by FedEx on Tuesday and I had a blast making my first creature, pictured here (and here’s a large pic).
The creature-making process is really fun, as your creature reacts to the things you do to modify it. It responds with delight when you give it eyes and feet and so on. After forming the shape and physical traits, you get to “paint” it with the games wonderful texture/color renderer. This is amazing stuff.
After making your creature, you get to test drive it, using various motion, emotion, and action commands. The creature really comes to life at this point and you begin to see how actions and interactions might take place in the game. I can’t wait to make more creatures and begin playing when the game launches.
