Gaming Union: "Spore Hero is noble in its attempts to bring Spore to a wider audience, but it just feels too shallow. The Creature Creator has been quite compromised, and players will often have to sacrifice their own creativity to allow their creature to perform. It's also lacking in direction, and considering this is a game aimed at a younger demographic, it's quite surprising. One of the key elements, the combat, just feels extremely under-developed and overall this sums Spore Hero up. If the game had more polish, a better structure and a more thorough Creature Creator, it could really have been a solid, enjoyable title."
