I was at Paddington Station this morning, for example, and saw plenty of good material… You unlock more parts as you progress through the game, and I'm only on level 10.Īlthough downloading images from the web to make Spores is pretty fun, the more creative aspect is actually using your own photos. Pretty little fella, isn't he? Apologies for the lack of variety when it comes to eyes, spikes and fins. I couldn't resist creating an actual iPhone Spore, for example: Tweaking the images is easy enough – you pinch in and out to make them bigger or smaller, and you can rotate them around, too. That's enough politicians for the moment. Meaning, in other words, that you can search for a photo of, say, Steve Jobs using the iPhone Safari browser, save it, and then import it into Spore…Ī trick that also works for Barack Obama…Īnd Sarah Palin (oh, the irony of putting her into a game all about evolutionary biology)… You can use one of your own iPhone snaps, or you can import any image that's saved in your handset's photo library. While someone else gets on with the serious business of reviewing the game, I've been having a play with this picture feature, with suitably juvenile (but occasionally creative) results.Īccessed via the in-game creature editor, there are two ways to use the photo feature. So, the iPhone version of Spore Origins is available on the App Store, and if you read our earlier story, you'll know it has a nifty feature letting you import images from your iPhone to use as a texture for your Spore.
