You won't find much appeal in Spore Creatures unless you are 8 or younger.

User Rating: 5.5 | Spore Creatures DS
I feel sorry for the people out there who purchased this game with their own money, expecting something similiar to the spore experience on the pc.If I had bought this game with my own money instead of getting it for my birthday, I would be giving this game a much lower score. The entire game is unbalanced. The battles are frustratingly hard, and provide no appeal or fun. The entire time I'm battling I'm worried that my DS will break because of the gimmicky slashing movement used in battle. Other parts of the game are extremely easy, such as the excessively common fetch-quests, which I had no fun doing. Who wants to fetch stuff for creatures you barely even know!? On the other hand, the creature creator is pretty fun to use once you've collected a lot of parts for your creature. But to get these parts you have to plod through the uninteresting game and a pathetic excuse for a story. I hope that when people read this review they will go out and buy a better game than this one. If you have a kid, this game will probably be just right for them though.
