Spore- Demo Available June 18th!

(Note, I found a dead Spore thread several pages down but figured this might deserve its own thread, so here I am :-P)

So I'm sure I don't have to tell familiarize anyone with Spore, Will Wrights new ambitious "life-sim". Some of you may know that the demo is being made public on June 18th (Some say 17th, we'll know tomorrow of course). The free version has already been leaked, but the pay demo will have never before seen parts for creature creation. With some of the stuff people have been creating I'm really looking forward to seeing what the editor will be capable of in its full form.

Apparently you'll be able to export PNGs for others to load in the editor, so they can further edit your creature and watch it in full glorious 3D.

So this thread is for reactions, discussion, anticipation, questions, and maybe even showing off some of your creatures too.

Edit: The trial is out now Grin
You can now get the trial version with only some of the features (for free). The full version comes out tomorrow. I preordered it. Smile I'm really looking forward to the full game. I wish it came out sooner.

bring back the old art style or no buy
The version was leaked a while earlier....

I like it, its prety cool. However, some of the mon's i've seen made are less than thrilling.

Comparison shots?

I played around with the demo earlier at a friend's, pretty fun stuff. I didn't realize that the Mac minimum requirement is Leopard though, so I can't upload anything quite yet.
I was actually disappointed with the number of parts you can use when making creatures. I thought there would be like millions of different things that you could use. You can still make almost anything you want, but I was hoping for a few more options (expansion packs possibly?).
I didn't find (Using the HP version) that there was a real lack of parts in any way. I mean, one thing that was missing was tails, I mean I know its possible to create by spine extension but it doesn't animate quite right.
Also, am I right in thinking the ability to create underwater and flying creatures was removed? Because it seems all the wings only give "glide".
