G-pinions has gone nutso over it - and not unsurprisingly so. Apparently, the player can design their own avatar - from scratch. Moves, n'all. Copyright issues aside, it looks like you can really have a go at making whatever you like:
"While simply being able to draw any character you can imagine sounds good enough to warrant a $50 purchase on its own, the player creation even goes farther than that. You can set how your character moves, what sorts of attacks it has, and even what voice it will use to intimidate its foes. Unfortunately, you are forced to actually play the main game in order to unlock all the features this mode offers, but you can just use this as an excuse to try out your character in a real world... er... game... enviroment."
Heh.
I fell in love with the avatar creation system in Graffiti Kingdom the first time I used it. Tremendous fun! I'm not wholly convinced that the game itself is as good as the drawing tools, but the first time that I thought that Spore might actually have the potential to be fun was seeing how easy Graffiti Kingdom made it to make things come alive.

i think as a specialist in the graffiti industry you should create a flash box to let people practice detailed tags.
