If Spore Creature Creator works will the full game work?

Specs? The full game will be alot more intensive cause you won't just be staring at 1 creature.

Minimum requirements:

FOR WINDOWS XP

  • 2.0 GHz P4 processor or equivalent
  • 512 MB RAM
  • A 128 MB Video Card, with support for Pixel Shader 2.0
  • At least 6 GB of hard drive space

FOR WINDOWS VISTA

  • 2.0 GHz P4 processor or equivalent
  • 768 MB RAM
  • A 128 MB Video Card, with support for Pixel Shader 2.0
  • At least 6 GB of hard drive space

    When launching the game, some Microsoft Vista users may receive a warning about running out of address space along with a link to the Microsoft Knowledge Base. If you see this message, it is recommended that you follow the instructions and go to the website listed in the message to update your system.

    For computers using built-in graphics chipsets, the game requires at least:

  • Intel Integrated Chipset, 945GM or above.
  • 2.6 GHz Pentium D CPU, or 1.8 GHz Core 2 Duo, or equivalent.
  • 768 MB RAM

    Supported Video Cards

    ATI Radeon(TM) series

    9500, 9600, 9800
    X300, X600, X700, X800, X850
    X1300, X1600, X1800, X1900, X1950
    2400, 2600, 2900
    3650, 3850

    NVIDIA GeForce series

    FX 5900, FX 5950
    6200, 6500, 6600, 6800
    7200, 7300, 7600, 7800, 7900, 7950
    8400, 8500, 8600, 8800

    Intel(R) Extreme Graphics

  • GMA 950, GMA X3000, GMA X3100

    Laptop versions of these chipsets may work, but may run comparatively slowly. Standalone cards that are installed in vanilla PCI slots (not PCIe or PCIx or AGP), such as some GeForce FX variants, will perform poorly. Intel integrated chipsets featuring underclocked parts, such as the 945GU, GML, and GMS, will not perform adequately.

    Integrated chipsets such as the ATI Xpress and the NVIDIA TurboCache variants will have low settings selected, but should run satisfactorily.

    Please note that attempting to play the game using video hardware that isn’t listed above may result in reduced performance, graphical issues or cause the game to not run at all.

    The NVIDIA GeForce FX series is unsupported under Vista.

So it might work if they say 6200 too and your card is close to that but it won't be pretty :(.

I dosen't really seam like a graphically orientated game, so I guess I'll be fine, Idon't usually game on my PC but I don't want to wait for it to come out on Wii and it probably won't be as good as the original.

Just check your pc against the specs and assume *nothing*. Your graphics card is not very good at all, check your PC with the specs, and if you buy it and it doesn't work, it's your own fault.

Like previously mentioned the full game will be a little more intense as far as requirements go, but I wouldn't worry unless you had to turn a lot of settings down to get the creature creator running. I believe they said in an interview awhile ago that if you can run Sims 2 smoothly, you'll be able to run Spore without any problems.

I've have all the settings up to the top on the creator so I should be fine, Thanks.

Well in that case you don't have a powerful computer...

Again, in spore creator you see just a creature and a limited area, but Spore is an RTS, you will have at least 20-30 of these creatures at a certain point and you will have cities + in Spore you control one planet at a time, it's similar to Civ, so like Kamikaze_pigmy said, don't assume anything, not with your gfx card.

About Mass Effect, I don't know what to say, it's on UE3 and it doesn't cope quite well with your card even on the lowest settings and unlike UT3, maxed out at 1680x1080, for some reason, Mass Effect manages to get my gfx card hot. I've heard people having problems with 8400 and that one is way beter than yours and the 7th generation from Nvidia had the weakest low end segment from all their generations.

Do you have the demo or the full version? The full version is so much better than the demo.
