YMMV / Spore Creatures

• Broken Aesop: Spore Creatures is supposed to be about the power of friendship, with making friends being a strong point of the marketing and repeatedly encouraged throughout gameplay. This is to the point of depicting creatures who are carnivorous or aggressive as cruel bullies. However, it is often far easier to work out your issues with a smackdown unless you have absolutely no other option, with combat options being far more useful and numerous; hell, Bio-Powers are only usable in combat, and there are no abilities to help you befriend other creatures. Gar'Skuther is almost impossible to out-dance, but beating the tar out of him is always readily possible even if the player skipped most side quests.
