Spore Creature Editor coming before the full game

Spore is big news at the moment - dominating the front page of bit-tech with it's various layers of wow, and the news still won't stop coming. In fact, Electronic Arts has just revealed that the popular creature editor for the game will be available before the full game.

Even better (for us anyway), Spore will see an early release in Europe. While America will get the game on the 7th of September 2008, we Brits and Europeans will be playing the game already - it will be available in Europe on the 5th of September.

The creature editor of the game, which we can assure you is as flexible and fun as you could ever hope, will be available to gamers before the full game is released on PC. Details about it are thin on the ground right now and EA hasn't clarified if the editor will be free (we hope so), or at a cost.

What is known though is that the full retail version of the game will be compatible with the creature editor.

The creature editor for the game is definitely a massive part of the game's attraction as it lets players create literally any monster they want through a very simple interface.

Are you all Spore-ed out, or can't you get enough of the game? Let us know in the forums.
