Electronic Arts has announced that the first Spore expansion will be the Cute and Creepy Parts Pack.

Electronic Arts has officially unveiled the first two expansion packs for Spore - the Cute and Creepy Parts Pack and a new Adventure Maker and space expansion.

The Cute and Creepy Parts Pack had already been unofficially revealed, but EA today announced some of the details and revealed that the expansion will cost $19.95 USD or about £11 GBP. The Parts Pack will be compatible with both the full version of Spore, as well as the Creature Creator mini-version.

The Cute and Creepy Parts Pack is an obvious and quick way to cash in on the success of Spore - so quick in fact that it'll be out by November 18th.

The second expansion is currently untitled but will be an expansion of the Space Stage for Spore and won't arrive until Spring 2009. The good news though is that the Space Expansion looks to be a lot bigger and better than the Cute and Creepy Parts Pack. The Space Expansion will add in the ability for your creatures to teleport down to planets from the Space Stage and use their creatures to complete various challenges.

The Space Expansion will also come with a new creator mode too, one which will let players make new challenges and missions to tackle when they do teleport down.

If you've yet to pick up the game then you can check out our full, in-depth nine-page Spore review or read our interview with Spore producer Tommy Vu.

The fact that EA has jumped on Spore as quickly as possible and started creating expansions is no real surprise, but will you be buying them? Let us know your reactions, in the forums.

"Cute and Creepy Parts Pack."
Oh no, don't do the same as "The Sims"

Then what, Spore Hot Date, Spore University, Spore IKEA world...

The new space phase expansion should make planets bigger and your ship smaller, right now the planets seem like tiny little rocks smaller than our own moon.

Oh EA! You and your jokes!

I wonder where Spore would be on a list of top gaming let downs of all time.

Even my cousins, who were all hyped with Spore, got bored after the first week.

As expected.
Curious on what DRM the expansions will have.
