iPhone App Recommendation: Spore Creatures
Spore Creatures continues the evolutionary journey by putting you on dry land instead of the primordial soup of its predecessor, Spore Origins.
Look mom, I have legs!
The game remains relatively the same with its bright colours and great audio. You control the creature you created by tilting your iPhone and moving it to consume smaller creatures, avoid bigger nasty creatures and pick up more DNA so that you can continue to evolve.
But there are more challenges here in Creatures. As you explore areas, you might need to drag a rock into a crevice to bridge two areas, or drag exploding plants to clear a path. There are also quicksands, wind tunnels, and many other hazards you want to avoid.
That doesn't look friendly...
In every new area, you will bump into boss creatures. You can choose to socialise with them or try to defeat them with force. Personally, I find diplomacy works better. These boss creatures usually want some crystals, so giving them crystals is much better than trying to defeat them.
The biggest fun lies in customising your creature. With so many body parts for you to pick and choose, you can fit defensive or offensive limbs to your creature. And don’t forget socialising traits like the mouth in order to work on diplomacy!
What to wear? What to wear?
While it certainly cannot beat the PC version of Spore, Spore Creatures will make a nice addition on your iPhone for casual gaming. Get it at $6.99 from iTunes Store!
