Touch My Apps – Spore Creatures iPhone review
Feb 16th
Let me note that compared to Origins, Spore Creatures is more challenging. There are 20 levels spread out in 4 different environments, and to complete each level successfully the player needs to collect a certain number of points or fulfill quests. There are boss battles for example, that require some ingenuity in order to emerge victorious.
The game is unstructured enough to allow the player freedom to explore the environment. Because the environment is populated with flora and fauna, it’s more difficult to move around especially using accelerometer controls. While the tilt controls run quite smoothly and can even be calibrated to suit one’s preference, the small physical space to work with makes it difficult to move around freely.

The second in the series takes us to land this time, you start off with a basic Spore on the sandy beach and it just gets wild from there. As you play the game you can create new Spores based on your actions in the game, there are over 40 different things you can add to your Spore to make it different there are so many possibilities of what it could look like. As you play the game and explore around on one of the 20 different levels you can find and collect different items that can then be later added to your Spore all while slowly evolving the DNA of your spore. You also have the option the change the color and shape of your Spore. One of the really fun features is how you can chose to interact with other creatures; you will sometimes have the choice of communicating or attacking and both will lead you down different paths in the game. This all makes for a unique game play with high replay value.

Slide2Play – Spore Creatures iPhone review
Feb 2nd
A portion from a review for Spore Creatures by Slide2Play:
The levels have cute names, like Lumpet Cove and Beetle Basin, and the graphics and animation are excellent. The problem is that there’s not much to do beyond eating and evolving. Sure, each level tracks how many of the available bugs you’ve consumed, and you’ll come upon herds of animals that you can decide to fight or befriend, but once you’ve cleared a few stages you’ll have seen most of what this game has to offer.
If nothing else, Spore Creatures offers an easy, user-friendly introduction to RPG elements. Playing this will acquaint young gamers with navigating menus and choosing upgrade paths. However, anyone who has played through a Final Fantasy or Fallout won’t find anything new or compelling here.
148Apps – Spore Creatures reviewed for iPhone

Because of just flat out boring and repetitive gameplay, it appears that the Spore franchise and EA may have some evolving to do before they carry on this franchise’s name. It was cute the first time, but it turned into something just oh so bleeeeeh. For $6.99, “Spore: Creatures” is a worse choice than week old leftovers.
I don’t think it’s boring – but then again I’m a boring person in real life, so it’s possible that it could be to others. But I do agree on the price…for a reskinned version of Spore Origins, I think it should of been priced at $4.99 instead.
CNET – Spore Creatures iPhone review
Jan 27th
I’m a fan of the Spore games and have played others on both the iPhone and Nintendo DS. After spending a couple of hours with Spore Creatures, I enjoyed navigating the terrain and the challenge of helping my creature evolve. I did find the gameplay repetitive and a bit frustrating at times as your creature can get stuck roaming around in circles looking for food or avoiding the bad guys. But overall, Spore Creatures offers a very cool, colorful environment–one that I’ll definitely be exploring further.
