Things such as good graphics, promising story lines and satisfying music or audio options are just base minimum expectations. In the world of strategic, life pulsing games the need is even greater when presenting them upon major consoles or portable game systems. Creature Defense on the PSP, a strategic "Tower Defense" game, is either a hit or miss release. While in comparison to PC strategic games it could be promising. In the world of avid handheld and house bound consoles, it doesn't really stand up to the test."
Gaming Nexus writes: "In my ten years writing game reviews, I've managed to review games in just about every genre. It doesn't matter how weird they are, I probably reviewed it. I've blasted my way through a shooter masquerading as a tactical role-playing game, battled it out with a 2D rapping dog and even played 3D games back before 3D was cool. But in all that time reviewing games, never before have I reviewed a tower defense game. Thankfully all that has changed, because I recently had the pleasure of going through Hudson's PSP tower defense game, Creature Defense. This inexpensive download title offers enough depth to warrant the price tag ... even if you're brand new to this genre."
Diehard GameFAN writes: "I enjoy a nice tower defense game every once in a while, but with access to the Internet, at the same time, it's kind of spoiled me in regard to the genre. When you jump on the Internet, you can find a massive number of free tower defense games just waiting for someone to give them a tender click of the mouse. So whenever a tower defense game would land on a console or handheld, a price of $20 or more would usually equate to sticker shock. Fortunately, Hudson Entertainment looked to do something a little different with the genre by mixing the tower defense genre with a card management scheme and for the first time, I paid attention to a handheld tower defense game. By tossing in a fantasy element akin to what people might see in Magic: The Gathering, Creature Defense creates a unique identity for itself, but fans of tower defense games will be pleased to know the title didn't mess around with what makes the genre fun."
Instead of a set group of items to place along the enemies route, players will be able to take only 5 creatures to the battlefield. As the game progresses, there will be a huge number of creatures to select from, each represented by a card. Each card/creature has an elemental type, weak against one, strong against another. This is in addition to damage dealt, rate of fire, and other typical properties that one might expect with the genre.
