There was a listing on an online retailer recently that showed a Spore expansion pack, then was quickly removed. This set off a bunch of rumors about what this expansion could possibly be, but now EA is confirming it: two new expansion packs for Spore are to be released in the semi-near future.
First up, there is the Cute & Creepy Parts Pack. This expansion features an additional 100 body parts for players to use to further customize their creatures. As the title suggests, there will be simply adorable parts and revolting ones as well. This expansion will cost $20 and is set to be released on November 18th.
A second expansion is set for release during the Spring of 2009. We don’t know the name or the cost of it yet, but it is rumored to feature add-ons for the Space segment of the game experience and is said to be more substantial.

this is highway robbery. I bought 2 Spore games. One for myself and one for my Wife. Some of the game is ok but all in all it is not much of a game at all. The space stage is such a repetitive bore that after the first time playing it through we both have NO desire to play it again. I don’t think a $20 expansion is going to fix that. The end game needs a total re-write.
Charging $20-30 a few months after release? Wow you guys must be desperate for money. I guess Spore didn’t sell half as good as you thought it would.

I bought the Spore game, and it has been fun and entertaining, but at nowhere near the level of civilization or masters of orion. This game should have been so much better. I only give it a 3 out of 5. I still tinker with it, but it’s beginning to be boring and annoying for it’s camera problems and lack of richness in the user interface.
I am not sure how interested I’m going to be in a $20 add-on pack that just adds a few parts. The game needs some serious improvement to have any staying power.
