In addition to our extensive preview of Spore, we've also managed to get our hands on six screenshots from the DS version.
We think that Spore is one of the most ambitious videogame projects ever conceived, charting the evolution of a species from one cell to a million space colonies.
Unfortunately from the looks of the screenshots, the DS version looks like it should have been a victim of natural selection, instead of surviving to grace the handheld console.
If you've seen the screenshots in our preview, it should be obvious that the DS version is built from the ground-up and quite separate from other versions. It focuses on evolution and the creation of creatures, all fashioned into a linear story.
We've been assured that it looks great when animated, but for now we'll hold out for a video to confirm it.
