I officially declare this the winner of the worst boxart, slogan and name of the year.

I'm wondering, what's their target group? Who would possibly buy this? It's not targeted at little kids, but I would laugh if any teenager got this from their parents

Even if it's not shovelware, I can't think of anyone who would want a game like this

The USA cover is ok, but the other one is HORRIBLE! I mean I don't even know who that guy is so I really don't want him on my ds.

What I find most surprising is this game rated Teen when it's an educational game. Also what kind of sexual themes can you find in this game based on Astrology? ?_?

Astrology is all about sexual frustration and mate finding, which might explain this "T" rating. (It's also all about confusion between real science and fortune-telling, but I don't think rating committees really care about that in their god driven quest for hidden nipples)

This got me thinking...they really need to release a DS game that is all about the universe and space using 3D planets and you can free roam the universe with 3D models. Now that would be awesome. Then they could tell you different specs about each planet, galaxies, stars, etc.

that would indeed be awesome, but i do have a few doubts about the DSs 3d capability for somethign on such a scale.....maybe the solar syatem could be done, but teh universe??? we still don't even know how many stars are out there..

True...but if you have ever used cheat codes to get out of the map on Metroid Prime Hunters DS, you will see it will have full capabilities of a large area. You could fly so high out of the map that the whole level will be one pixel sized on the top screen.

We should suggest that game to someone.
