A triumph - a constantly evolving, charming and surprising triumph. [Oct 2008, p.83]

It comes on a little slow, but if you put some genuine time and effort into this game, you can come away with a fun experience.

This is a fun, involved, albeit more linear DS experience with a few quirks that get in the way, but even with those quirks it’s great to experience a game on the more limited handheld with a similar sense of creativity that PC gamers will have in Spore.

Spore Creatures is pleasant and charming, but ultimately forgettable.

Spore Creatures isn’t the shovelware I originally expected, but it isn’t much more than a cash-in on the PC version’s anticipated success. It isn't a bad game, it isn't a good game, it's just sort of there.

Not the cheap cash-in you might have feared and yet still a portable game that runs contrary to all the aims of the PC original.

The wonky camera and repetition is annoying, but it still just about works as an average exploration game. What it doesn't offer is any sort of Free Play option where you can do your own thing.

It's very simplistic, despite the appearance of having a complex system of creature building. Apart from my issues with the combat, at no point is the game really bad, but it's never a whole lot of fun either. It is charming for about an hour's worth of play but not much else.
