BCG: Spore Creatures review

BCG Writes:

"Finally, the big showdown with Gar'skuther: By that time I had accumulated so many powerful body parts, my creature was like a tank. A couple rounds with my blowtorch breath and super shield, and the super villain fell like a rusty robot. Once the game is complete you can go into replay mode. I was disappointed with that however. I had hoped to go back to the planets I had visited and finish collecting the various little tokens, finish meeting and greeting all the citizens there, finish collecting 'body part' updates. There was really no point other than visiting with less pressure and at a more leisurely pace, but it seemed a fun possibility.

This game does not give you that option, though. If you revisit a planet, you start from zero, and your previous tallies are wiped out. That seems a poorer option to me, than revisiting just for completion sake or for fun. The Oogie reunion scene at the end was touching, if the end credits were a bit long. But long end credits seem common with DS games. I enjoyed Spore for DS, despite its few frustrating moments. If a 'casual gamer' like me can defeat Gar'skuther, there's hope for the universe yet."
