  1. Sadly no way to take your creations online but a great single player platform adventure game where you imagination is it's limits.
  2. Spore Hero is an adventure for the younger generation of the Spore fans!
  3. Spore Hero is, without question, one of the few games that reach the summit of originality. This game is fun and the creature creation tool is great. If you enjoy the genre, or want a decent entry into the concept, Spore Hero will be an enjoyable, if simple experience into the wonderful world of action game.

    It's a disappointment that a franchise so (ostensibly) devoted to endless creativity could produce a game so limited in its meaningfully creative options. In the end, Spore Hero never becomes anything more than a lighthearted but uninspired platformer -- and a waste of the brand's creative potential.

    Best game on the Wii this year, hands down. Very impressive creature creator and animation system running on the Wii.

    Bought that for my kids, it is simply amazing! Great graphics, lots of fun to play, discover parts, and the creature editor is A LOT of fun! You parent should definitely get that for your kids! (mines are 7 & 9). Expand

    I think it's a pretty good game for my kids. I prefer the fact that there's no online sharing because it's safer in a way. Colorful and fun game to keep them busy at home. I recommend it if you have young children! Expand

    I was disappointed with this game. Once more the Wii dumb down another amazing game. If you were expecting to find similarities to the PC you won't find it here. Spore hero really limited the players creativity. It took me only 6-7hours to beat this game my first time through. I wish I could get my $50 back. Expand
