I know at least 6 people right now playing this. Kinda wacky considering I really hadn't heard much hype about it till its release yesterday.

BTW, if you are installing this on Vista and are wondering where the hell the shortcut is to start the program, you have to open up Games Explorer. Its in there. Start > All Programs > Games > Games Explorer. Do yourself a favor and drag a shortcut to the desktop, or right click the Spore icon in Games Explorer and then click "Pin to Start Menu".
