With UK gamers often feeling like they get the short straw compared to our US and Japanese counterparts it’s nice to hear of a UK only incentive for EA’s Spore.
To build gamer excitement for Spore’s September 5 release, EA is releasing the Spore Creature Creator on June 17 which enables gamers to make all kinds of wacky creatures. This tool will be offered as a free limited 25% complete download or as a 100% complete retail product for £4.99.
The good news for UK gamers is that this Creature Creator will be offered for free to those who pre-order the full game, as EA’s UK PR manager Jonathan Goddard explained to Ripten.
“In the UK, anyone pre-ordering the full Spore game, due out on September 5, through either EA Store or via selected retailers (GAME and Zavvi) will get a disc containing 100 per cent of the CC (Creature Creator). The only cash they will part with is whatever the pre-order deposit is (typically a £5). This money is deducted from the retail price of Spore when it arrives in September, meaning that the full CC is to all intents and purposes free in the UK,” said Goddard.
