For ВЈ5 though, which also goes towards the final cost of Spore when itвЂ™s released in September, the full Creature Creator is well worth owning.

The demo is available for free and is the same as the full retail product but with far fewer body parts to choose from.

Little problems aside, Spore: Creature Creator is something everyone with a capable PC or Mac should try out. The limit on body parts is also something that will annoy anyone looking to push the limits of the tool, even if the restriction makes sense from a game balance point of view. Some truly brilliant creatures have been created already, but with even slightly more freedom the breadth of designs would be immeasurably bigger. You canвЂ™t create a beast with just one eye on the side of its face for example. Whether it be its eyes, legs, arms or tube-like ears, they have to sit opposite another. For one, you canвЂ™t create a creature that isnвЂ™t symmetrical. If IвЂ™m being picky there are other problems too. Painting your creature feels like a step back in terms of design freedom. Whereas the main creature creation tool is brilliantly simple, it doesnвЂ™t feel restrictive. If youвЂ™ve got an eye for art then youвЂ™ll probably be able to work around these restrictions to make something that resembles what you set out to create, but for most people itвЂ™s far too restrictive.

Rather than giving you full freedom over how your creature can be coloured, youвЂ™re limited to set choices for three layers.

In a sense itвЂ™s a relief that the painting options are fairly limited, if only to spare you some time. Once you name something itвЂ™s essentially a real virtual creature, and itвЂ™s all too easy to spend upwards of 30 minutes tweaking minor details. Each limb can be subtly altered at each joint and moved around the body until youвЂ™re completely happy вЂ“ minor changes can completely alter the way your creature walks. You can throw together a collection of limbs and create something in less than a minute, but you wonвЂ™t be able to leave it there. As fun as it might be when in a YouTube video (uploading to the video site is seamlessly built into the game), I can only imagine it starting to grate when playing the full game. Seeing as the full release of Spore will see other peopleвЂ™s creations inhabiting planets in the mass Spore solar system youвЂ™d hope the entire world isnвЂ™t creating beasts based on reproductive organs. When creating youвЂ™re likely to fall into one of two categories: someone who is designing for the proper game or someone who just wants to make the silliest looking creature imaginable. ItвЂ™s all incredibly simple, completely mouse driven and lots of fun. The basic model might be fine, but the luxury model includes extra armour for added safety. YouвЂ™re presented with a blob, which you can manipulate into a shape, pulling its spinal cord in every direction possible, before adding a head, limbs and various optional extras, as if designing a new car. ThereвЂ™s no real game to play in Creature Creator. Although only a fraction of what will make up the full release of Spore due this September, the Creature Creator still ranks as one of the most impressive PC titles of the year and is a must buy for anyone interested in playing god. Spore: Creature Creator tells me a few things: creating new species is great fun, creation tools can be simple yet deep, people will always make the rudest things possible, and Spore is going to be a massively popular PC release.
