"Opened up a door of creativity in me!"
Version: Spore Creature Creator
Pros
I like this product because of its simplicity of use. You don't have to really know much in order to make the creatures.
Cons
I can't think of anything that disappoints me in any way.
Summary
It's ease of use is great. If you have a creative mind and like animation but don't know how to operate animation software, then this may be your answer. The possibilities are limitless on what you can do. And most likely no 2 will ever be the same.

"Game fails to install. Vista issues?"
Version: Spore Creature Creator
Cons
My system easily meets all of the requirements listed for the program, but when the install finishes, the EA folder contains only the download manager. Spore failed to install and gave no error messages. Spore is NRPT.

Thank you for the reply. I installed Spore CC a second time and found the launch icon in the My Games folder. Spore CC is fun to mess with and is easily worth 4 stars. I can't change my star count, but I can buy the game. Thanks again. -Science_1

"Software contains SecureROM DRM!"
Version: Spore Creature Creator
Pros
Wish I could say anything software wouldn't run. Serious security warning from all of my monitoring software.
Cons
I sure would love to play this game, I bought the $10 version not the demo. But sadly the software doesn't run at all. I am using windows XP SP3 on a very beefy hardware setup. I am also a very knowledgeable software engineer and have virus, process, and mallware software installed on my computer to protect it from the typical garbage that would make it unstable. To my surprise installing Spore from spore website that I bought lit my detection software up like a Christmas tree.
This software is loaded with SecureROM DRM software that is very nasty. I have heard you can circumvent the security checks it run by running the application in Window 98 compatibility mode. But regardless the software installs SecureROM DRM software. There is no mention of this software in the installation, in the readme documents or on the spore or EA website. By the way once you install the DRM software you can't uninstall it without digging deep into your registry, configuration files, and deleting files from the windows directory and programs directory directly. This is unacceptable! I am going to spend the next few days attempting to clean my computer of this vermin.
I suggest you don't install it unless you are:
A) totally ignorant and don't care that you will be monitored by EA.
B) don't mind that you computer's security and anti virus software will have been disabled making your PC even more vulnerable to viruses and mall ware.
Until the DRM rootkit is not included in this software I won't buy anything from EA from this point on.
BOYCOTT EA!

"A really fun creative game!"
Version: Spore Creature Creator
Pros
Use your creative side to make wacky and interesting creatures. You design the whole creature and can also colour it. It also has an option to 'play' with your creatures by making it preform actions.
Cons
The demo only comes with 25% of the content but it is only a trail. Also it is not the whole Spore game but only the Creature Creator. The full spore game will come out on the 7th of September this year.
