Electronic Arts has taken a moment to let us know just how popular the Spore Creature Creator free trial is, saying that creatures have been shared at a rate of two per second.
In the day following launch, 250,000 alien life forms were shared through the Sporepedia. SPOnG doesn't know whether to be thrilled or terrified at the prospect of the universe being populated by that many different species that might one day want to go all Independence Day on us.
“The response to the Spore Creature Creator has been overwhelming”, uttered Lucy Bradshaw, executive producer of Spore at Maxis.
“The creativity and passion that the community is putting into their creatures is spectacular. The development team has spent the last 24 hours checking out the amazing creations racing in from all corners of the globe – with peak volume hitting more than 1,000 creatures being shared a minute.”
Passion? We're not sure about passion. We did ours for a proper laugh. What about you? Also, have you managed to post something rude enough to get a warning email from EA yet? Tell us in the Forum.
The free trial of the Spore Creature Creator was made available on Tuesday. It gives gamers the chance to take a pop at designing their own new species, which they will then be able to import into the full Spore game when it is released in September. The full Creature Creator is available for download now and will be in shops tomorrow for £4.99.
You can get the free trial here. For more on Spore, see SPOnG's dedicated game page.
