The hours will waste away
I know that some people are troubled about paying $10 for the "prelude" to what is sure to be an amazing game. But even this little nugget of the real game can offer hours and hours of fun. So it's definitely worth the sticker price. The coolest thing though is knowing that the creatures you make are actually going to populate the final game... well as long as you don't make them look like genitals anyway.

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.
