Will Wright's E3 Spore Presentation

moto writes "ThinkGaming is reporting from E3, and had a chance to take a look at Will Wright's Spore during the early-hours press access. From the article: 'To start, Will showed an overview of the latest creature editing system. He mentioned that almost all parts of the editing system, from hands to the mouth, control the creature in its entirety - from its personality to the way it sounds, etc. In addition, the color system is a procedural texturing system that lays initially colors, then various textures (scales, etc.) and more all on top of your creature model. It looks like an incredibly intricate system, as has been seen quite a bit so far in previous videos. It looked like it was nearing completion and would allow for endless possibilities.'"

I consider myself extremely well-versed in games (compared to a regular person, not a gamer), and I have no fucking clue why I need to buy Spore. I know it's like Civ, but you start out as an amoeba and work up to being a space traveling species. All the videos I "need" to see are 10 minutes longer or more.

If the game is so complex it needs to be sold to me over the course of an infomercial, that's going to be a hard sell. If anyone can point me to a concise, 5-minute video which gets me excited over this game, then I'd love to see it.
