Stuff Review: Spore Creatures

Gerard Campbell writes: "Released just before Will Wright's massive creation sim Spore hit computers, Spore Creatures is a portable version of its bigger brother.

The game begins with your creature which looks like a tadpole with big eyes emerging from the sea.

Not long after you make landfall, an alien spaceship appears, tractor-beams up the mate you arrived with, and you're left all alone, the last survivor of your species. It's up to you to track down your friend.

Spore Creatures has you exploring your world (in fact, a series of islands on various planets), interacting with other creatures and doing missions, as well as letting you evolve your creatures by adding parts albeit in a much less detailed or intuitive way than the computer version."
