EA announces 'Zubo,' DS rhythm game aimed at kids

Slated to ship worldwide this Fall, Zubo has players zealously aiding the inhabitants of Zubalon -- those would be the eponymous Zubos -- and consequently foiling the insidious Zombos (zombie hobos?). There's a zoological element to the game, as you'll be able to recruit, feed and strengthen various Zubos before tossing them into muzak-and-rhythm battles. We also expect to encounter an evil Zamboni at some point, but we'll have to wait and zee.

You shouldn't aim anything at kids. Thats just wrong!
Old people make easier targets.

A DS game....aimed at kids?!?!?! What is next? A Wii game that is a PS2 port? The mind simply boggles.

I hate to admit it, but I like the character design...

It could be okay. At least they are admitting to targetting kids, rather than hyping it up to something that we adult gamers would waste our money on.
But if you know you are purchasing a game just for your kids, it makes something like this welcome.

Plus, like Mr. Wong said, the art style looks kind of okay.

While i agree, i can't help but point out a few things:
1.The art Style screams "Love child between little people and LEGO"
2.The art above isn't in-game art (you all know that...) and thusly is not representative of the turd they push out.
3.It's an EA game....
OK, fine it's not really a valid argument, but name a good game that came from the bowels of EA that didn't suck. Burnout Paradise? Ok, but the music was crippled by EA Trax.... other than that.....
:\
It just feels to me like it's Shovelware... high quality shovelware, usable shovelware, but still shovelware....
Samba De Amiga DS > This
Why re-invent the wheel when you can secure the entire Samba fanbase (all three of them...)
Ok, done rambling.... i'll wait for more info before passing any harsh judgement, but i smell something not good....

"And since we're wearing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles pajamas at this very moment,"
Wow, so am I!

The best thing is, Zombos can do anything, anything at all. The only limit is yourself.

Je*** Chr***! First MySims! Then Boom Blox! Now this! Pick a Mii ripoff and stick with it EA!

Nintendo totally invented simplified characters... that Sanrio fuck is a hack.
Josh @ Mar 28th 2008 4:18PM
Wow, this sounds a lot like Patapon.

My thoughts exactly.

how'd they manage to get the rights to SodC's colossi?
Vaitork @ Mar 29th 2008 10:49AM
Funky characters. I'd pick the freaky-looking Tauren.
