- Ozzimo, on 02/14/2008, -0/+1I see what you did there.
- DoodleMaster, on 02/14/2008, -8/+4It looks really similar to Animal crossing, the art...that is...very "cell-shadey"
- breakaway, on 02/14/2008, -5/+2cell-shadey? Is that like Slim Shady?
- Zarokima, on 02/14/2008, -4/+14Hmm...if there was some sort of internet connectivity between them (for example, being able to get creatures made on the DS onto your computer through internet) then we'd have even larger amounts of woot.
- TheMarenum, on 02/14/2008, -4/+2Maybe not the computer, but the wii would be sweet,
- carpespasm, on 02/14/2008, -4/+16do they always stare right at you like they're in pain, wondering why you've decided to give them such a retched shape?
- spyrochaete, on 02/14/2008, -0/+1You probably meant wretched, unless you're talking about barfing out live creatures.
- jls33fsls, on 02/14/2008, -4/+31I don't know...maybe it's just me, but that version doesn't do much for me.
- aladrin, on 02/14/2008, -1/+6Indeed, I was just thinking how much the DS version looks like ass. I'm starting to think this huge delay was to create the DS and cellphone versions and had nothing to do with the PC version at all. At least they're using this time to polish the PC version so it'll be near-perfect when it comes out.
- Ozzimo, on 02/14/2008, -0/+1Negitive, in fact it was the other way around. The DS version was fairly well complete almost 7 months ago. But you can't release the DS version over a year before the "main" PC version right? Oh well, its tough working with EA.

- sleepyjjk, on 02/14/2008, -8/+3I wonder if the DS and Wii versions will link up somehow.
- Kumaku, on 02/14/2008, -3/+11Looks like I'm going to have to destroy my DS or face losing my, already crippled, social life.
- Zaggynl, on 02/14/2008, -2/+4What is this "social life" you speak of?
- Slade605, on 02/14/2008, -0/+12I think it's an unlockable during the civilization phase.
- jerrycan, on 02/14/2008, -1/+0Think of all the money you'll save on not having to buy a RealDoll.
- Zaggynl, on 02/14/2008, -2/+4What is this "social life" you speak of?
- Dested, on 02/14/2008, -7/+3I _love_ monster rancher.
- Chupacabra82, on 02/14/2008, -2/+25Let's hold off on calling the game amazing before it's even out.
- blackjack75, on 02/14/2008, -1/+5But if it turns out not to be amazing, wouldn't it have been a nice moment of collective joy?
- TyroPyro, on 02/14/2008, -11/+5This is totally random, but guess which presidential candidate Will Wright donated to, haha
http://fundrace.huffingtonpost.com/neighbors.php?t ...- justinp, on 02/14/2008, -0/+2Eww, gross.
Respect--;
- justinp, on 02/14/2008, -0/+2Eww, gross.
- lobsterxcore, on 02/14/2008, -6/+2September? Wtf happened to April?
- bjornski, on 02/14/2008, -2/+4April fools!
- glitchbit, on 02/14/2008, -4/+381995 wants its GUI back!
- neocognitism, on 02/14/2008, -6/+4Pokemon for adults.
- dietprozac, on 02/14/2008, -0/+28This looks like utter *****. Don't get me wrong- I can't wait for the real Spore to come out, but here's why I won't be queuing for this one:
"Spore Creatures begins with your character's friend being abducted by aliens."
Just like they ***** up the Sims2 for the DS. I do not buy Maxis games because I want a predefined storyline. That premise is completely counter to the philosophy of a simulation game.- Ozzimo, on 02/14/2008, -3/+1Sounds to me like you just don't like DS games... greater problem perhaps?
- dietprozac, on 02/14/2008, -0/+1Oh no, I love DS games. Mario Kart, New Mario, FF3, Yoshi's Island.. all great! Plus it's handy for studying Japanese- picked up the Japanese version of Zelda while I was living over there. I was just really disappointed with Sims2-DS, and this one looks like it's going to have similar problems.
- spyrochaete, on 02/14/2008, -0/+2That's becoming true for me. For some reason developers like to take a perfectly complete game and tack on an overly cutesy, incredibly wordy story that you have to flip through for 10 minutes before you can play any DS game. Aren't portable games supposed to fill your few free minutes with gaming goodness?
- Ozzimo, on 02/14/2008, -3/+1Sounds to me like you just don't like DS games... greater problem perhaps?
- staffell, on 02/14/2008, -4/+15wtf. that looks horrible!
games re-worked for the DS are almost always ***** crap.- Zaggynl, on 02/14/2008, -1/+1I don't know, doom, quake and warcraft 3 td work quite well here.
- Jonmad17, on 02/14/2008, -3/+4Great, they have been delaying this game for years and then announce a DS version. Typical EA. Finish the PC version then think about the DS.
- goodhorsehymn, on 02/14/2008, -1/+11"Spore on DS" is always going to disappoint, because it won't be anything like the proper versions. Perhaps if you don't consider as a Spore game, it might be less of a disappointment.
- zdiddy85, on 02/14/2008, -2/+3Meh
- Julz, on 02/14/2008, -2/+3it just looks soo crap....
- PrettyMuchBryce, on 02/14/2008, -1/+3I HATE when developers take a pc/console game, publish a COMPLETELY different game alongside of it on a handheld device and use the same name. It's misleading and greedy. Most of us here on digg understand this happens and know that it isn't the same game, but I feel bad for people who go into a store and buy this thinking its Spore because all they have is a DS. If you want to make a DS game, make a standalone DS game! Don't make a crappy game and stamp your name on it so people will be misled into buying it.
- gabrielsond, on 02/14/2008, -3/+1The PC version will be at least one GB if not several GB and the DS "version" will be maybe 16MB or 32MB. My hopes of spore on the DS have been crushed.
- frosted, on 02/14/2008, -3/+2Spore 3 is going to be HUGE, I mean, you can make famous people and magic and the new addons will be so cool and the alternate universe thing where you can change your mind about any decision you make in the game at any time.... oh yeah, that's not until 2011.. never mind.
- netbear, on 02/14/2008, -3/+2SBORE!
- CameronakaCam, on 02/14/2008, -1/+1Sorry but I don't think I will be checking this out. Any news on the Wii version?
- spyrochaete, on 02/14/2008, -0/+1Won't be released until a while after the PC and DS versions are out.
- slappy117, on 02/16/2008, -1/+1we will see how amazing it really is when it's actually out, But I am sure the pc version would be interesting
