EA has released a new Spore title for the popular social networking site Facebook. Titled Spore Islands, it takes the gameplay of Will Wright’s Evolution sim and presents it in browser friendly 2D to provide one of the deepest gaming experiences on the site.
“In Spore Islands, players get to invite friends in their social web to play on their island, so creating this game exclusively for Facebook was a natural choice for us since they are the largest and most popular social platform for games,” said Caryl Shaw, Senior Producer, Spore Islands.
Facebook Platform Manager, Gareth Davis comments: "Games are one of the most popular activities on Facebook, with more than 100 million unique active users in the top 10 games alone. We are excited to see Spore Islands as one of the latest games on Facebook for our 300 million users to connect, share and play with friends”
Spore Islands focuses on player-to-player interaction. Users choose their own island to live on, create creatures and evolve them, invite friends to live on their island, and send their own creatures to friends’ islands, all in a quest to dominate as many islands as possible.
Players can earn and purchase DNA points whcih, in turn, can be used to modify their creature’s stats or appearance with fun accessories such as hats, animations, and holiday-themed items. Progress is tracked on both Global and a Friends-only leaderboards, which can be viewed by players and their friends.

Just having a play now. It's interesting for a Facebook game that is for sure.
I left facebook because of the appz/games and boredom of it all lol
Haha the Facebook guy is just all like "Look how many people visit our site... We're so great because we have so many people"
Three's a crowd. 300 million can get stuffed.

Removed the game. Got boring really quick and didn't get anything out of the game. The one thing I will give the game props for is actually loading all the time, and fast. Most the other games I play either take ages to load or don't at all.
I had a little play while writing the post. Seemed pretty sweet, for a facebook game.
