PopMatters: Spore Hero Review

So to a large degree, Spore Hero does get by on its charm, with an added assist from the assumption that its audience is going to be an audience that hasn't already been addicted to Spore for the last year or so. The mileage that one gets from Spore Hero depends largely on whether this assumption holds true; still, it's difficult to deny the pull of a game this polished, a game that, really, just wants to be liked and isn't afraid to show it. 6/10
