NGamer : Spore Hero review

There’s something undeniably impressive going on at the heart of Spore Hero; some kind of alien technology that means if you stick a third leg on the creature you create and put its eyes on its belly, it will walk around looking as pitiful as it sounds.

The first thing we did was give it a mouth so it didn’t starve to death. See how the sorry thing uses its bellyeyes to look for food. Horrible. And when we put a pair of useless flappy hands at the end of giant spindly arms coming out of its arse, it used those to pick up the oranges and berries it stuffed into its lamprey’s maw.

Verdict

The most interesting thing from the PC original put into a simple platform game that’s marred by some unexciting minigames.
