Electronic Arts' Spore Origins
Coming Soon To N-Gage Platform!

Couple of months back, Nokia and Electronic Arts announced that Wright's Spore Origins, a Strategy game developed by Tricky Software will be making its way to the Nokia N-Gage platform and now it seems that they'll finally get Spore into the hands of N-Gage players!

The game has just been added in the N-Gage's 'Coming soon' section and gets its own page which means that soon you’ll be able to play the Spore Origins on the N-Gage compatible devices.

It will be probably 'dumbed down' and take the very different form to fit on mobile phones. There are also some platform limitations and they'll pull out some parts of the game, but it is still good news that we’ll be able to play some sort of the game on our mobile phones.

According to EA Mobile™, "The game takes full advantage of the NGage functionality whilst allowing players to manouvere their way through a world made of primordial ooze. Spore™ Origins will sit alongside other EA titles already launched on N-Gage, such as Tetris®, The Sims 2™ Pets and EA SPORTS™ FIFA 08."

According to Nokia, you'll be able to "Customize your SPORE™ from a single cell to a complex predator, increasing its chance of survival as you rise through 18 interactive levels. Gather food in vivid undersea worlds filled with bizarre organisms, but be careful, you will need to avoid larger and more lethal creatures. Does your SPORE™ have what it takes to survive?"

Spore is a multi-genre "massively single-player online game" developed by Maxis and designed by Will Wright. It allows a player to control the evolution of a species from its beginnings as a unicellular organism, through development as an intelligent and social creature, to interstellar exploration as a spacefaring culture. It has drawn wide attention for its massive scope, and its use of open-ended gameplay and procedural generation.

The game allows the player to develop a species from a microscopic organism to its evolution into a complex animal, its emergence as a social, intelligent being, to its mastery of the planet and then finally to its ascension into space, where it interacts with alien species across the galaxy. Throughout the game, the player's perspective and species change dramatically.
