Spore, the revolutionary game from EA, has been rocking the gaming world. It’s no wonder then that Spore would emerge as the best mobile game of the year 2008.
The game is all about creating your own species, making it evolve and finally reaching the top of the food chain as the ultimate predator. In other words, the gamer plays god and may be it is this aspect of the game that has made Spore so popular ( we humans love to play god, don’t we?)
The mobile version of Spore succeeds because it includes just the right aspects of the Spore game for PC, thereby making sure that the game is enjoyable and playable on a mobile. Spore for mobile is a 2D game and is in no way inferior to the full blown 3D version. The game also concentrates only on a fraction of the PC version - the cellular levels. The creature creator is limited as well, but still allows for some level of customization. The basics of customizing our creations, like adding scales, teeth, antennas, etc and changing the size and shape have been reatained and are enough for hours of pure fun on a mobile.
Bottomline is that Spore Mobile is a 2D shooter that allows you great scope for customization- limited, but still great fun on a mobile. Spore is the Game of the Year, without an iota of doubt!
