This game ruined my CD drive
I bought this game through the EA Download Manager, which was the first mistake as I will need to pay a fee to download it again, but that's beside the point. I was one of the many caught in the flurry when the Creature Creator was first issued as a demo. When the buyable version came out I took advantage to get it. I had my doubts about SecuROM, but I did not think this game includes it--be warned, IT DOES.
Ever since I installed the game my CD drive has been acting up. Movies I rented from Netflix started to refuse to play on my computer. Now, any game that requires a CD that is published by EA refuses to detect the CD. I will never buy another product from EA or Maxis in my life again. SecuROM and the DRM has not stopped piracy; it has ruined legitimate buyers' computers for automatically treating them like criminals.
Now I have to jump through a number of hoops that suggest I should backup my entire computer before going down the long road of trying to getting rid of SecuROM off my computer. If you value your computer in not wanting to stop working because companies will automatically treat you like a criminal then I suggest you stay away from this, Spore, or any other game that has SecuROM or any other sort of DRM protection.

Do NOT buy!
Whatever you do, do NOT purchase this.
Every penny that goes to DRM-encumbered media only encourages additional DRM-encumbered sales.
So don't do it. It's not worth it.

If you plan on buying Spore, don't buy Creature Creator
My wife purchased both Creature Creator and Spore for me for my birthday. My assumption was that Creature Creator added features to Spore. That assumption was wrong. If you plan on buying Spore, do not buy Creature Creator. There is no need to. In fact, upon installing Spore, the first thing it tells you it is going to do is uninstall Creature Creator. Needless to say I was disappointed. Sure it is $10. But that is $10 dollars I could of spent else where.
Finally, I see no real reason to buy Creature Creator. It is fun. You have access to all the body parts. However the trail version is free. What more do you really need?

Amazon supports censorship...
Amazon wiped thousands of reviews because it didn't feel comfortable with how this product was being criticized for it's inclusion of DRM. This game was not good, and I had to call EA to install it after it failed to install properly after 3 attempts.

DRM of this game treats honest people like theives
A game company like EA should know better. Honestly! There are several issues that have made this one of the most disappointing games I've played in a long time, and frankly I am not even sure where to begin.
First of all, at the install... Anyone who buys this game has only 3 installs. Yes you heard me correctly. You can't install this game more then 3 times EVER before the game CD becomes invalid. So if your hard drive should crash or you upgrade your computer after installing this, Oh.. You will only be able to install it ONCE more before it invalidates. That is done on purpose by EA as a way of combating piracy. But it also treats honest people who buy the game like thieves.
Ridiculous!
Secondly, the game play. While the game has a very original concept, it takes FAR too long to get anywhere interesting. The first three hours of gameplay is less a game and more an exhibit at a museum. It's kinda interesting but its certainly NOT FUN.
I'm not sure what I should, return this thing or burn it. SHAME on EA for this travesty.
