If the controls weren’t bad enough, the combat system is the most boring one I have had the misfortune of playing. Push people around with your punches, spits, and the like over and over until one tips over the edge of the platform. Most challenges consist of knocking each opponent off three times. It is mixed up by giving challenges such as not to be knocked off yourself, or don’t use your mega-attacks. On top of that, the super abilities that Maxis was so proud of are dismal and awkward to access in battle (hold L and tap the screen, which sometimes does not respond).
What score did Spore Hero Arena manage to pull in? I can tell you, it isn’t that pretty…
