However, I found the various menu options, statistics, and icons a bit overwhelming.

Spore Creatures has an interesting presentation, and EA is intelligently designing it so as not to be compared closely to its PC sibling. Since I was early in the game, I was unable to try out any of these abilities, but the EA representative cited a spewing stream of lava as an example bio power. There is also an energy meter, which is depleted while a bio power is activated. I was unable to get a good feel for the strategy of battle—blind slashing didn't seem to work well, but that could have been because I was outmatched. When you die, you re-spawn at the last nest you visited. It's also possible I fought a powerful creature I was supposed to befriend. I lost one fight, which I attribute to either having not properly upgraded Oogie for battle or poorly tuned difficulty. The battle system is real-time, with the opponents circling each other. You can also collect parts lying about and eat food to gain experience points, which yield level-ups that in turn improve Oogie's statistics. Befriend a creature allows it to become your ally during exploration and during battle (although only one at a time) to access new areas, etc. This interaction came off as counter-intuitive, even with the in-game explanation. This consisted of tapping on a symbol that appeared above the character and dragging it back to the character. For example, you can tap on the socialize icon to initiate a confusing socialization ritual. You interact with other creatures in the world through menus made up of icons. You touch where you want Oogie to go, you tap on a creature you want to interact with, and in battle you slash an enemy to attack. The game is played with the touch screen.
You can save and load several different creature configurations, which essentially are multiple sets of equipment. Adjusting the size of parts in the creator goes a long way towards making an aesthetically pleasing hodgepodge, but as far as I could tell, there's little practical value in doing so. The result is comical, with Oogie at best looking awkward and at worst resembling a junkyard heap. The creature creator takes on a scrap-book look as parts with jagged edges are clumsily attached to your simple body. The vibrant color palette further invokes thoughts of Nintendo's adventure/RPG series. The game gives off a vaguely Paper Mario look-and-feel, with wafer-thin characters in a fully 3-D world. Oogie eventually explores a variety of planets in his adventure. Your sister slug, who acts as your guide during this sequence, is suddenly abducted by an evil alien flying in a UFO, providing the game's plot.
I played through the tutorial, designed to familiarize players with the many menu options and icons found in the game.

In the full game you collect better parts as you progress, but the E3 demo provided many parts to fool around with. Your creature can be altered at any nest (save point). Attaching parts allows you to attack, increase your defense or mobility, or improve your social abilities. You play as a newly-hatched slug creature named Oogie, who can be augmented with a variety of mouths, arms, legs, and other appendages using a simplified version of the creature creator. The game's premise is straightforward enough. Instead of attempting to emulate Will Wright's massively scoped project, this DS title is an adventure game set in the Spore universe. The player can equip, rotate, and resize any of the parts they have collected in the overworld, and they can also change their creature's color palette.Spore Creatures is a handheld spin-off of EA's highly anticipated Spore for PC (and later, consoles).
The player can walk around and interact with various environments, battle or befriend various creatures, complete story goals, and gather new parts.īy interacting with friendly nests, the player can modify their creature to alter its stats and Bio-Powers to make it suitable for various goals. The overworld is where most of the gameplay takes place. The gameplay of Spore Creatures can be divided into two main modes: Oogie repairs the broken ship and sets off across four other planets: Pangu, Baysee, Flubit, and Zencrie, in order to track down and defeat Gar'skuther and cure his infection. Gar'skuther's ship crashes, and he summons a new one and escapes, leaving Little Oogie infected with a dangerous disease. Little Oogie is quickly abducted, and Oogie travels across Tapti, learning about the world, equipping new creature parts, and gathering the pieces of Gar'skuther's damaged ship. In the beginning, Oogie and Little Oogie wash up on the shores of Fryse, trying to escape Gar'skuther's ship. The story follows Oogie, a creature from the planet Tapti, on their quest to rescue Little Oogie and the rest of the galaxy from Gar'skuther and his infection.
