Summary: Astounding
Review: ...It doesn't cost alot and it is a wonderful game!

In the game, you breed and raise a Norn. You can communicate with it, protect it, feed it, play with it, cure it, and even bury him when the time comes.

Also..there are two other species that pose a threat to your Norn population. Grendels are evil creature that torture and contaminate norns with highly contagious dieseases. Ettins. They basically take apart the machines you build and hoard them. They also carry disease. This game is great! ... you'd better take your oppurtunity!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Game!
Review: Creatures 3 is a great game! You can explore all different places with your creatures called Norns. You can teach, breed, make eggs, pull your Norn around, and lots more things! This is a great game. I also have Creatures 2. It's fun, but I think Creatures 3 is better. there are better graphics and more things to explore!

Summary: Creatures 3
Review: Creatures 3 is a phenomonal game. I wish I knew how to spell phenomenal....

Anyway, Creatures 3 is awesome. You have to breed your Norns in a giant space-ship habitat, containing four different-enviornment terrariums. The Jungle is swarming with Grendels, who will kill your Norns the SECOND you look away. Ettins roam the ship, searching for teacups. This game is an ENORMOUS improvement upon Creatures 2, which had creatures that were difficult to interact with and teach. Later in the game, you can activate a tool that allows you to breed Ettins and Grendels. There's also an injector, which will allow you to inject them with anything from Life to Cyanide, and a Splicer that allows you to genetically Engineer Norns, Ettins, and Grendels. A Genetics kit is said to be coming out, an add-on for the game, which allows you to adjust the slightest thing to make your creatures stronger and better.

Summary: Wonderful addition to the Creatures Series!
Review: Creatures 3 is an amazing new game. In this one the world is all new. New animals, new plants, and a new layout. It is more user friendly and a lot easier to play than the previous two. You can have up to six different worlds too, so more than one person can play the game. Overall the creatures are smarter and actually do what you tell them to do. I highly recommend this game to everybody.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Wonderful, only a few minor flaws
Review: Creatures 3 is beautiful! The creatures now talk to each other instead of just talking to you or themselves (I never played Creatures 2, so I don't know how good it was in terms of things I will mention here), the creatures have an enormous vocabulary, and the machines make the game more realistic because it eliminates the need for butons that do everything. Also the environment with the multitude of critters which mate and interact with the creatures and each other adds another dimention to gameplay.

However there are a few elements I found troublesome. There is an upgrade available in the game for the hand that lets you pick up the creatures, and with the help of another upgrade grendels and ettins. This means that you have total control over mating and the lives and deaths of the grendels. If you want, you can stick the grendels in with the paranhas or in the recycler and get rid of them, which makes them increadibly pointless, except for the gene splicer (which I have not yet tried).

Overall, just get the game if you like games like this. It is true to life, and absolutely wonderful. The amazing graphics and sound effects add so much to the game, and you will be amazed at the way your creatures act, perhaps even feeling somewhat upset when a grendel kills one of the norns. This game will last me years as I do the multitude of possible things Mindscape has made possible.

Summary: One of the best creatures games.
Review: Creatures 3 is focused on you keeping the norns alive. You have to protect them from grendels using machines. You can hook up machines to create weapons. Your norns have the instinct to eat and sleep, so you don't have to worry much about that. The ettins love to take machine pieces to their home. They can destroy the machines you make to defend against grendels.

Creatures 3 is a great game, lots of fun.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Creatures
Review: Creatures 3 takes place on a spaceship. You have to care for the Norns by defending them from the Grendels. The Ettins have a habit of stealing machinery. Your job is to breed and raise the Norns to being capable of caring for themselves.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Amy`s Consumer Report
Review: Cretures 3 is great!Be careful about grendels. They can kill your Norns. If you create more than six woulds a wourld will go down.Click on arrows to reach it.IT I`s a pain installing but i`s wourth it! It also needs connpatibillidy.Buy Cretures 3 and other creatures games. It needs a user manual. I like this game because I like annimals plants and any Cretures.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The greatest game ever.
Review: Don't think this is a virtual pet game. The creatures are infinitely more complex than that. They're so complex that the creators of the game cannot know what might happen then. And that makes it an exciting game. "None of the behavior you see has been specifically programmed" says in the creatures' 1 manual. And it's true. You may think this is a children's game, but that's not true. Ok, children may love the game, but adults can use it too. In my opinion, this game is the best game of the history of humanity. Don't you see? We've made *real* animals!
