Actually, yes.
The creature creation was the only good part of Spore. Taking that and applying it to a different gameplay model strikes me as a really good idea.
That said, there's still plenty of room for them to fuck it up. So I'm a "maybe".

No... didn't care for spore and after seeing them call this one "dark" is about as degrading of the word dark as "Apple Store Genius" is to the word genius...
I love Diablo, and dicking around in Spore was awesome. So i can imagine that Darkspore will be a game wherein you have alot of fun with co-op... and.... dicking around. amirite?
It sounds like it will be Diablo except instead of swords you pick up new arms.. sounds rather blah.

[HEADING=1]I HATE. HATE. HATE. HATE SPORE![/HEADING]
Hate. Let me tell you how much I've come to hate SPORE since it was released. Imagine there is a box of 387.44 million miles printed in wafer thin layers. If the word 'hate' was engraved on each nanoangstrom of those hundreds of miles it would not equal one one-billionth of the hate I feel for SPORE at this micro-instant. Hate. Hate.
I waited YEARS for it to come out, and I believed it was going to be revolutionary at best, and damn good fun at worst.
It was BULLSH*T. A crappy, ugly little game with a crappy creation tool and zero replay value.
Now, my answer:
I was initially pleased with the concept of Darkspore. The concept of an RPG could potentially work, what with the self-improvement take on evolution the game is based around
However, the way you just described it there, as a Diablo-thing and the word "Dungeon Crawler" makes me very, very dissapointed
I will follow it, but I do not particularly look foward to the version you have suggested.

What I think it needs is for the creature creator to actually have a significant impact on your characters abilities rather than everything looking different but acting almost exactly the same!RaphaelsRedemption said:
Also I love your avatar
I was so disappointed by Spore that it's hard to look forward to anything carrying its name... but I have said before, if they took the customization of Spore and used it in a different game. We'll have to see about this one... plus I'm a pretty big dungeon crawler fan...
Part of me is intrigued. Then the rest of me reminds it of how terribly, terribly far Spore fell from its lofty perch of expectations to become four meaningless minigames and a "space exploration" bit where you had to cut short your exploration every half-minute to go home and defend your planets, because, y'know, you're piloting the ONLY SHIP YOUR SPECIES HAS.
