From
the creator of The Sims, Will Wright, comes Spore, the
epic Life-Sim where you create your creature in the (already
released for PC)
Creature Creator
 software package, and take your spawn from a
single celled blob to a mighty space-faring race. This however is
the
spin-off for NintendoDS, Spore Creatures, developed by
Foundation 9.
The
game focuses on the creature phase, playing a bit more like the
Nintendogs titles. It also features a storyline; you are a
creature kidnapped by a UFO and put on an island to survive. The
designer is still present, but it’s done in an interesting new
graphic style, 2D parts are used in a 3D world reminiscent of the
Paper Mario series. It will also feature Multi-Player via
Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, in which players can make their creatures
interact. It’s set to use the Touch Screen in combat, with slashes
across the screen used to command your avatar slice up some other
nasty creature. Making friends and other tasks with different
creatures on your planet will use a Mini-Game.
Its
more looking linear than the original, but that’s not necessarily a
bad thing, and the visual presentation is shaping up beautifully.
Spore Creatures is looking more like the title we’d hope it
would become with every outing, and should be a worthy
addition to both the Spore franchise, and your NintendoDS
software collection. |
