Edge: In reviewing Spore we remarked, "Those waiting for someone to distil [it] into a few simple words need only look at its initial platforms: PC, Mac, Nintendo DS, mobile and iPhone." A game caught between the eternal and the ephemeral, simulation and nature, Spore remains an enigma – not quite what it should have been, even though we're not sure what it should have been. To that list of platforms now add the Wii with Spore Hero, which puts a new and very particular spin on the series. EA is repositioning Spore as a children's product, and what's more it'll probably work.

Game Observer: Since I don’t have a computer with the capability to run the original Spore game, I’ve been waiting with bated breath for the promised Wii version ever since the rumors first began.
The fact that it pitches the difficulty level appropriately ensures that newcomers won't be frustrated as to what to do next thanks to simple quests and a simple control system that always guides the player rather than confuses. It's just a shame that yet another title in the Spore franchise hasn't quite reached its potential.
