EA officially announces Spore Hero

Spore HERO? Really? I'm looking forward to see how this turns out, but seriously lame title.

Will it come packaged with a big Spore-shaped controller?

I wonder if this is poking fun at Activision. First, they steal the developers of the Guitar Hero franchise. Now, they steal part of the name of the Guitar Hero franchise (and possibly making fun of future Activision titles like the already-confirmed DJ Hero). Good for them, I'm currently happier with EA than I am with Activision. lol

Though, if you don't think about the competition between publishers and just take Spore Hero as itself... ew. Like I said, I personally think it's trying to make fun of the Activision games, but at the same time, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and they would end up making fun of themselves too.

Oh well. I look forward to seeing how the mainstream media takes this. "Spore Hero is shameless ripoff of Guitar Hero." Or even BETTER, "Spore Hero is shameless ripoff of Spore."

so if you play spore with a guitar... you call it spore hero?

After being disappointed by the PC version, I expect nothing out of this one.

My only guess is that this will be the exact same game, except it will cut out before the "civilization" stage. which means it will have all the parts of spore that were actually FUN.
