Creepy & Cute doesn’t change Spore’s gameplay in any way, but it enables us to build oh so delightfully creepy creatures. You just can’t go wrong with adding more claws and fangs. [Issue#17]

AceGamez

The Spore Creepy & Cute Parts Pack is exactly what its titles suggests; it in no way expands the main game but simply offers you more cosmetic options when it comes to creating the creatures that populate your evolving civilization. It's overpriced, but it still offers a reasonable amount of appealing new content for the Creature Creator and so is worth the investment if that's an aspect of Spore that you really enjoy.

LEVEL (Czech Republic)

You would expect this kind of add–on to be distributed for free. In this case it’s “too much money for not many creatures”. [Issue#174, Jan 2009]

I can only urge you to buy this if you are an avid fan of all things Spore or you happen to see it for at least half of the current selling price.

Geoffrey gave it a5:
I will refrain from rating this mini-expansion based on its retail price. The parts are all mostly good. They make your character look much different than other standard users characters. Outside of that however, there is little to no use for these additions. I would have expected $5 for an initial retail price, however $20 is way way too high. If you have disposable income, or are just bored with the game because of the lack of parts, this is the expansion for you. The rest of the gigantic percentage of SPORE users not in those two catagories, can wait till this is in an "all inclusion" compilation, or better worth the offering content, free.
