EA and Maxis announced today that over 250,000 creatures have been created in the Spore Creature Creator since it launched yesterday. More than two creatures are being created every second according to EA.

The Spore Creature Creator is a stand-alone product and creativity toy-box where players create their own creatures and bring them to life with animations and share them online. The full version of Creature Creator will be available for $9.99 and the demo version can be downloaded for free.

"The response to the Spore Creature Creator has been overwhelming," said Lucy Bradshaw, executive producer of Spore at Maxis. "The creativity and passion that the community is putting into their creatures is spectacular. The development team has spent the last 24 hours checking out the amazing creations racing in from all corners of the globe - with peak volume hitting more than 1,000 creatures being shared a minute."
