Spore Hero: details on the Wii's Spore spinoff

Players will now directly control the creature in "a series of quests and adventures in a kind of open world that you can take at your own pace." New parts can be added that will translate to new motion-controlled moves. Some moves, like jumping, will open up new areas to explore. EA is currently "taking a look" at MotionPlus for Spore Hero, for improved sensitivity for the motion-based gameplay.
This sounds a lot like the DS's Spore Creatures -- whose sequel, Spore Hero Arena, is still scheduled for a fall release on DS.

I think it'll end up like Spore Creatures too. But hopefully since it's using the PC's creature editor, it'll be more in depth. To make a strong creature in the DS game, you had to sacrifice looks and make a huge cluster of parts.

Does it install the SecuROM channel on your Wii?

Somehow Spore never really got my attention enough to even want to try it out. Gotta love the hype.
