When the character got "painted" in the first time, it reminded me to the aliens in Crysis 2 trailers :P

[campbellshow]

damn the character creation looks awsome

[XOEXTREME]

@TheSpambomber yea i might actually pick this up in the store when it comes out

[sporister]

@CyberMcRock They are going to make an expansion for the original spore again? if so, that would be the perfect reason to start playing again :D

[fakesauron]

@Emilklog Have I ever said it is the same? I loved Torchlight, maybe I'll like Darkspore. Who knows?

[videogamefreak]

if the original spore worked on your computer does that mean this one will work too?

[SnipahBarretCal]

@RealBigDeal22 yeah.. then create the pack with swords and magic staffs

[finflame]

@xlittlespainno1x You buy the game, and that's it. There will probably be no monthly fees for the online part.

[Trynt]

spore-a great game
spore G.A-a giant explansion pack
spore creepy and cute expansion pack-do i really wanna pay 20 bucks for this?
darkspore-spore with blood guts and violance AWESOME

[Tentadish]

I couldnt give a fuck about Spore, all I know is that I want Darkspore. So much more epic than Spore.

[lMrHankeyl]

Is this a dlc or is this a full game????

[nngd]

i think it would work better if you just had 1-3 heros to focus on, not like 10

[xlittlespainnox]

i this an online game were do you have to pay like WOW??

[SB-ygtr]

if you have some old backup data form the game, PLEASE SELL IT TO A NEW OWNER!

[Trentest]

The whole concept is all fair and well... but it really should have been incoprated into SPORE, not a whole new game. SPORE still needs work, and if they abandon 'their most ambitious game yet', then they're gonna lose a lot of fans

[Emilklog]

@XpeHBHopkE but this is not like diablo, just becouse it is hack'n'slash, doesn't make it the same
my opinion is that your opinion is unintilligent. but then again, i dont care :P

[fakesauron]

Diablo 3 isn't that far from release. I'd better wait for it than buy Darkspore. Just my personal opinion

[Ryotice]

@CyberMcRock how bout making a new spore that's more realistic and rated T for more blood and stuff instead of cartoon crap.

[Poiss]

Make Generals 2 please and not a next Dota/LoL T_T

[BrighterThunder]

Lol when they say spore was innovative it shows the beta
