Rating: - Installs but will not run on my Toshiba laptop (graphics card issue)
A family member installed this birthday present on my laptop w/o asking me. It installed but will not run on my Toshiba Satellite laptop. Instead an error is displayed saying the graphics card is not good enough to run it! I had the same problem with Microsoft WWII combat flight simulator.
I don't know if Creature Creator has the same undesirable Digital Rights Management issues as the main Spore game, as we never got to install that. But had I known, I would have barred installation ... Read More
Rating: - Don't bother

The reason I've given it a low fun score is because, let's be honest, all you're doing is fiddling with a spine and attaching a few limbs. Hardly fun. However! It does challenge you ... Read More
Rating: - Significant technical problems on the PC version
Right from the start there are significant problems using this product with several technical challenges involved in even getting the game to start properly including removing dll files from the installed game and replacing them with new ones from the spore website, never mind the infuriating habit of only adding shortuts to the Vista "game explorer" tab rather than on the desktop or in a normal menu.
Once you do get the programme to work it looks lovely however there are more challenges ... Read More
