The game would have more replay value if you could use your creatures online in some way; even if it was just the half-baked Battle Mode. If you have rankings involved, there's always a demographic of gamers that want to see themselves on an online leaderboard. But if they were to truely get the most out of Spore Hero, the developers could have provided an online world of some sort; where gamers can interact, cooperate to solve new quests, battle each other etc. The game's remit is to be creative, but ultimately, you are limited by where the game wants that creativity channeled into.
