Darkspore Hero Creator Preview

In this quick "preview update", GameRevolution assures us that there's much more to the Darkspore hero creator than crafting penis monsters.  Something tells me the online lobby will still be full of 'em:
Producer Mike Perry reassured me that no amount of customization will derail Darkspore like you might imagine. Darkspore comes with 25 core characters. Each of those will have 3 different variants with different abilities. On top of that, you'll be able to choose from hundreds of thousands of loot items to build your character with. That's nuts!

If creativity is really your thing, but you don't want to sacrifice your characters attributes, Maxis has your back. Perry informed me that you'll be able to dress your creature up with the coolest looking gear, all while actually using different items for the stats you want.
