From a gaming perspective, the game has not live up to it's promises. The creature creation tool was pretty much all the fun it has. The game simply meshes four easy-to-play mini games together and bundles it with the tools.<br />

I've only tried the <a href="http://www.spore.com/trial">creature creator</a>, which is a lot of fun. I hope after the release of ooi to have a few free hours to try the game :-)<br />
