...Spore?

[schwa.]

What's the big deal about this game? I don't understand what's the main draw of the game, and I'm not sure I even understand it.

From what I can tell, you make a (rather ugly) monster/creature, then unleash it...?

[Quagmire]

It doesnt have to be ugly, you have infinite possiblities for your creature and you can make them how ever you want. You release them and they grow, become more civilized and depending on their nature/your nature they can live peaceful or conquer other creatures...at least thats what it sounds like to me for the most part

[Howitzer_]

its the first game also to not hold the creatures premade. but the way the creatures are made. you can play the game for your natural born life and never be done with it

So it's like a new and online version of the old Tamagotchi games?

Perhaps...if you could kill other Tamagotchis with your Tamagotchi.
