  • Summary: Building on the success of Spore Creatures for Nintendo DS, Spore Hero Arena catapults Nintendo DS players into a 3D galaxy filled with fun, intense arena-based combat. Players create a unique gladiator Hero creature and guide it from planet to planet as they fight dangerous enemy creatures and complete special missions, collecting new parts and abilities, gaining upgrades along the way. In the quest for combat, they seek out to defeat each local champion and unlock special abilities that benefit their Hero. By combining special abilities, parts, and upgrades, players create a fighting style of their own in hopes to stop an evil force and save the galaxy. Spore Hero Arena also features multiplayer capabilities as players can battle with up to three friends locally or play with a friend over Wi-Fi. [Electronic Arts] Expand

  1. In multiplayer mode Spore: Hero Arena is a really fascinating action game. Also in the single player mode it's better than average!
  2. A nice game, especially if you're fond of customization and online play, but don't expect anything new or particularly interesting.
  3. When all is said and done, Spore Hero Arena just fails to keep one's attention.
