Installed on my toshiba Satellite A305 6905 runs fine on medium graphic settings.  I really wish I had a better laptop.  I gave up on PC games a few years ago and play almost exclusivly on the xbox 360 but this is good enough to kill time out and about.

This is a fun game.  Although I wish this was more like a MMO, and not just single player.  Or at least give the option to play single player or MMO, that would be awesome.  I understand to set up and maintain those servers cost alot but this is EA, Maby in the future.

----- few months later.  Updated to version 4 auto update.  Game files now corrupt. uninstalled reinstalled followed steps from spore website and spore msg boards to fix, no luck.  Game is ruined on my hard drive cant play anymore. been going around in circles trying to get this to work with no luck.  No tech support from spore.  I gave up on it, Now have a game I cant play.  Windows Vista premium.

few years later...  I have bought over the past couple of years 2 new more powerful laptops and the game still won't run.  On the newer laptop the game won't up from one civilization to another.  Also appears EA has giving up on the game.  login servers no longer respond.  dead links on spore website.  complete failure after just 4 years.  All these bad reviews cant be wrong.
