EA's Spore Origins [App Store] is now available in the App Store.
The $9.99 game offers a miniature version of the much anticipated Spore game that was released yesterday. EA is advertising some iPhone/iPod Touch exclusive features including:
There are 2 game modes (Evolution and Survival) with 30 levels total. We will provide a full review shortly.

I really prefer to give the "big" bucks ($10) to the smaller developers, but I'm really hoping that this game is worth it!
Let's get that review up so I can spend my bucks or curse da man!

Reminds me of snake on the old Nokia phone.

I want to want a game of the hottest new game franchise. But I don't want this. fl0w for the iPhone would be an instant buy, though.

Not in the Hungarian store.

sign. why would they not put it in all the stores? just dumb.
September 8th, 2008 at 2:08 pm
EA still don't release iphone games in the UK Store. Typical when a big one comes out
September 8th, 2008 at 2:15 pm
Oh well, also not released in Germany, either. I also wonder why they don't do that simultaneously. The same for Vay. I hope that does not become a habbit.

They probably have to jump through hoops due to rules and regulations with each country to release these games and apps. It does suck, and kind of odd considering Spore released before the U.S. in Australia and then in Europe.

It's in the app store for US. Couldn't find it through search but I used the link from the story. Still no reviews yet. I downloaded it and will probably play it tonight after work. Hope it's worth the $10.

we still don't even have the ebay app in the uk store!!!!!!!!
September 8th, 2008 at 2:59 pm
I'm getting this.
September 8th, 2008 at 3:27 pm
Not in Australia yet..
Thought we were supposed to get it first.

Love this game. Worth the money

ARG NO UK APP STORE VERSION %*$&@&@^$£@

If you're having problems finding this on the apps store try searching for Electronic Arts not Spore. This is how I found it on the Canadian store. Searching for Spore didn't get any hits curiously.
September 8th, 2008 at 5:30 pm
Goddamn bloody heck! What's up with EA? Why can't they release this game in the UK?
There's no justifiable excuse, consider we've got Spore for the iPod Classic available on the Store…
September 8th, 2008 at 5:31 pm
thanks for the tip max! I had the same problem here in the states
September 8th, 2008 at 5:41 pm
Tried searching for Electronic Arts as suggested by Max. No good - must not be released here yet. Ohwell there's always tomorrow…
September 8th, 2008 at 5:48 pm
No Spore in Swedish AppStore.
September 8th, 2008 at 5:48 pm
Do a search for sporetm . It seems as if EA named it with the trademark and Apple lists it as sporetm . I couldn't find it on my iPhone until I typed it that way. Type it and hit Search. It should find it.

apparently we need to make the app store links more obvious in articles.
September 8th, 2008 at 6:12 pm
I found the link just fine, but I personally prefer to download straight to my phone. skipping the whole sync process involved with connecting to a computer.
(maybe I could try the link from my phone's browser? oh well, got it now)
nice work on the NEWEST IPHONE GAMES list! I just noticed that today
September 8th, 2008 at 6:12 pm
I got it, and am loving it! It looks and plays great and I think the replay value is there as you will be wanting to create different creatures and evolve them in different ways, imho. Also, the little power ups such as "Shield" and "Speed" (as well as the power downs like "Poisons") are a nice touch.

Spore Origins is now available in the UK App Store……just as I'm going to bed lol. Oh well, I can play it in college tomorrow so I'm happy. Wooooo!

Finaly found it after entering Electronic arts into search as posters above have said but any link to it in this article still says not available in uk app store. Idiots!!
September 9th, 2008 at 1:57 am
Now available in App Store Germany too. Downloading now!
September 9th, 2008 at 2:00 am
Now it's worldwide, and really good game
September 9th, 2008 at 12:42 pm
I've been surprisingly happy with this — in fact it convinced me to go buy Spore for the Mac. I feel like I have a connection to my little creature.

@ ibwb
LOL, it's fair to say most guys are connected to their "little creature", unless of course your name is John Wayne Bobbitt….. zing!
