The franchise's Wii offering, Spore Hero, certainly has a high billing to live up to. What's refreshing is that rather than hacking off half the features and putting in 'waggle' controls, EA have made the rather wise choice to build this game from the ground up, specifically for the Wii.
Interestingly, the game's developer has opted for a totally different direction with Spore Hero. The clue is pretty much in the name. Speaking to the assistant producer on the title, Mathiau Cote (full interview soon) it became clear that the folks behind this game wanted to make it a story driven adventure with a distinct protagonist, keeping in line with a long tradition of 'hero' games on Nintendo platforms.

Game Observer: Since I don’t have a computer with the capability to run the original Spore game, I’ve been waiting with bated breath for the promised Wii version ever since the rumors first began.
The fact that it pitches the difficulty level appropriately ensures that newcomers won't be frustrated as to what to do next thanks to simple quests and a simple control system that always guides the player rather than confuses. It's just a shame that yet another title in the Spore franchise hasn't quite reached its potential.
