Spore Creature Creator is now up for download from Spore.com. Essentially it's the character creation part of the upcoming Spore game, released early as a bit of a teaser for anyone who's interested. Creatures can be created (obviously), and then shared, uploaded to YouTube or put onto the sporepedia, a database of the creations.

It's a community focused move by EA, allowing people to try out one of the most important features of an upcoming game and then building a website around them. As well as sharing the product of their imagination around the globe, any of the creatures created can be put into the full version of the game, released on the 5th of September.
