Spore Galactic Adventures Goes to the (Robot) Chickens

Maxis Teams with Adult Swim`s Robot Chicken Writers to Create Hysterical
Adventures for Spore Galactic Adventures Available at Launch
EMERYVILLE, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
What do planetary rest stops, man cannons, and banana monkey wars all have in
common? They`re all elements of Adventures created by the Robot Chicken writers
exclusively for Spore Galactic Adventures, the highly-anticipatedexpansion pack
for the critically acclaimed videogame, Spore. Maxis,an Electronic Arts Inc.
(NASDAQ: ERTS) studio, today announced that the Adventures created by writers
from this outrageously funny, Emmy award-winning TV show will be available as
free downloadablecontent when the game launches June 23.

The campaign was conceptualized by Robot Chicken co-creators Seth Green and Matt
Senreich and executed by the writing team including Matt Beans, Doug Goldstein,
Mike Fasolo, Breckin Meyer, Dan Milano, Tom Root, Kevin Shinick, Hugh Sterbakov
and Zeb Wells. With such a unique cast of imaginative characters, players can
expect to experience missions with exploding poo, angry yetis, ruler yielding
librarians and more! Check out Robot Chicken`s exploits as they create

"We`re big fans of Spore, so teaming up on Spore Galactic Adventures was a
natural fit and so much fun for all the guys at Robot Chicken," said Seth Green,
co-creator of Robot Chicken. Co-creator Matt Senreich continued: "We're all
gaming geeks, so when the Spore guys said they had an alluring proposition for
us, how could we say no? Instead of creating absurd worlds with toys, this gave
us the opportunity to create literally anything we wanted as gamers. Geek
moment. We think that RC fans will love the pretty random and absurd adventures
we created and we can't wait to goof around with the ones the fans create."

"Gamers and Adult Swim fans alike are going to absolutely love the hilarity
found in the Robot Chicken missions created for Spore Galactic Adventures,"
stated Kip Katsarelis, lead producer of Spore Galactic Adventures. "Our
development team had a blast working with the guys and couldn`t stop laughing
the entire time we were together. Their Adventures truly reflect the extent of
their wild imaginations as well as how the in-game Adventure Creator tool can
create almost any type of story imaginable. Players can only guess the level of
absurdity and fun that are in these Adventures."

Spore Galactic Adventures adds a tremendous amount of variety and fun to the
original Spore, allowing players to beam down to planets, play Maxis-created
Adventures and create their own customized Adventures. Now players can get out
of their spaceship and turn their creatures into legendary space captains,
battling epic monsters in intergalactic arenas and fighting intense planet-side
races along the way. In each mission, players earn experience to rank up their
captain, gain game-changing items and accessories such as a Plasma Pulser and
Swarm Magnet. Once the captains and Adventures are created, players can share go
online to share with friends around the world at www.spore.com.
