Despite some of the criticisms being valid (it is a linear game, and the creature creator does have annoying shortcomings), I've wasted the entire day playing it. It's actually fun, I'm just not sure why.

it's on the DS, therefore aimed at children and non-gamers, hence the dumbed down gameplay as compared to the PC "version". reviewed in this context, it's probably doing what it was meant to do, tho nothing more.

taking the vast majority of DS games seriously (looking at the vast plethora of DS titles actually on-sale, i'd guess EG bothers with about 2% of them) is a bit like pissing into the wind.

oh, i just realised i don't really have a point to make...

I've been playing this and the review is on target. The game is REALLY rigidly linear. The camera is a bit awkward. It is disappointing that the creatures wont succeed unless you create them the way the game wants them to be, rather than how I want them to be. I'm sure the designers had a hard time cramming SPORE onto the DS but, then again, the result isnt actually fun.
