The game play. The creature creator is inspired, but this add on pack seems ridiculous. I wonder why they don't employ a microtransaction model like Gaia and Stardoll e.g. charge $0.50 for a beak. Also the software seems like it would be a good loss leader if it would get people to buy things like their 3D printouts which are reviewed here: http://replicatorinc.com/blog/2009/01/review-spore-sculptor-3d-printing-service/ I think the bigger problem is that this expansion pack does nothing to improve the weakest part of the game.

I assume there will be actual expansions in the future that will add additional gameplay as well as stuff, but for now it's just stuff.

I was so psyched up about it before it was released and then after I played it, I promptly uninstalled it and forgot about it. I am so glad that I played the pirated version and deleted this game.

Paying for extra content like this is the reason I am giving up on gaming. Spore is an awesome game, but it gets old quite fast!
