Guildford, UK – June 25, 2008 – The internet has been invaded by walking pears, giant dragons, impossible-to-describe aliens and everything in between! Maxis, an Electronic Arts Inc (NASDAQ: ERTS) studio, today announced that fans have created and shared more than one million creatures using the Spore™ Creature Creator in the first week of availability. Anyone can download their own copy of the Spore Creature Creator or check out hundreds of thousands of amazing creations from around the world in the Sporepedia™ at www.spore.com.
The Sporepedia is an extraordinarily vast online destination where people worldwide can search for and share Spore creations, comment on other player's designs, check out celebrity creature creations and much more.
"Maxis is excited, humbled and inspired by the explosion of creativity that we've seen with the Spore Creature Creator online," said Lucy Bradshaw, executive producer of Spore at Maxis. "I'm amazed at the creations I see getting uploaded to the Sporepedia, whether it's a realistic looking bird or animal, a 10-eyed alien, or something completely bizarre and unexpected like a creature that looks like a motorcycle, it's clear that people have an innate desire to be creative, and we're thrilled to help them express themselves."
The millionth creature was created by user "FlamingChidori" and was named, "Sapiusgeenus" - a two-legged green creature that the creator described as "one of my favorites so far." You can check "Sapiusgeenus" and a million other creatures at www.spore.com.
The Spore Creature Creator is a stand-alone product and creativity toy box where players create their own unique creatures, bring them to life with entertaining animations, and share them online with friends around the world. A free trial version of the Spore Creature Creator is available today at www.spore.com. The trial version features 25% of the creature-making parts from Spore and lets players shape, paint and play with their custom-created creatures. Creatures made in the Spore Creature Creator can also be imported into the full Spore game, allowing players to populate their own galaxies when the game ships worldwide later this year.
The Spore Creature Creator lets players create their own creatures, take them on a test drive, snap pictures, and make movies of them. Sharing pictures or videos with friends is as easy as the click of a button. Players can also share their creations with others by uploading to the Sporepedia™ at www.Spore.com.
