The creature stage could have been a game in itself. But no, of course, all you have to do is dance around for 20 minutes and it's onto the next stage!
And the Space stage... why would the ultra-"Omnipotent" dude go around saving one of his thousands of colonies from like one pirate ship? Do it yourself, starfishs!
I also got the Adventures pack, which is basically like a pumped-up Creature Stage, and it was worth it.
There's so many things to do... If you want a fun SPORE, get that.
