Summary: Not for casual gamers...
Review: Unless you invest considerable time reading the manual or online websites on how to play the game, you can accomplish nothing with this game. I spent a couple of hours trying to make sense of the game, and trying to see if I could understand the basic activities and goals, and ended up feeling very frustrated as I could figure out nothing. Absolutely nothing. Compare this to best-sellers like ... where even a novice player can enjoy the game at a basic level without having to study a manual. Yes, I know, Creatures 3 does not fit into your typical game genres, but that is *all the more reason* for having a good in-game help / guidance system for novice players. I should know - I have worked in the game industry for 9 years ...

Summary: A.I s Never Had It This Good !
Review: When I first played Creatures 2, I was frustrated by the complicated user interface. If you have played "Creatures 2" and you are thinking that " Creatures: 3" would be the same frustrating game, prepare yourself for a nice suprise.So what's this game about? Basically, you are to take care of a bunch of creatures called the Norns. You are to protect them from the virus infected Grendels that may kill them. Apart from that, explore the giant spaceship wth your Norns and help build machines to protect the Norns. Firstly, the interface for "Creatures:3" has gone for a MAJOR makeover. Gone are the days of having to get the attention of your creatures by waving your "hand" infront of it. Now you can simply carry your creature or lead it to the location of your choice instead of having it follow the "hand". Even first time users of this game will easily learn how to use the simple and user-friendly interface. Teaching your Norn words could not be any easier! Just turn on the learning machine and leave it to auto mode to teach your Norn how to speak. No more frustration of teaching your Norn! Secondly, the graphics for this 2D game is out-of-this-world! Each distinct habitat found in the spaceship has it's own design. The background for each of the habitat looks real cool. Thirdly, " Creatures: 3" has three completely new species of Norns! The cow patterned Civet Norn, the beautiful tiger like Bengal Norn and the plain yet pretty Buin Norn are the new Norns in this game. Better still, these new Norns are much more intelligent that the Norns featured in the previous two games of the "Creatures" series-good news to die-hard "Creatures" fan. As each creature in the game has it's own unique digital DNA, each has it's own personality. Since it has it's own DNA, you can "chemically-engineer" your Norns to make them stronger or inject all kinds of weird chemicals into them ! The only flaw of this game is that you have to guess the properties of the medicine and chemicals found in the game. The manual included did not explain much about the chemicals. Overall, this is a weird yet addictive game to play, with its biological accuracy and beautiful graphics, this game should attract anyone of all ages.

Summary: THIS GAME IS GREAT!
Review: When I got Creatures one i did not get ab owners manual or anything. Alls i got was the cd. i didnt even know what it was. but i tried it out and still didnt have a clue to what it was. slowly i figured out this and that about it. It has been almost 2 years since i got that game and i loved it (once i knew what to do)i am only twelve so it took me a while to do. i didnt get the internet until just recdently and found out that there was a C2 and C3. the next day i was out searching for either one of them. Unfortunatly i couldnt find them anywhere. so i got on the internet and ordered C3 for i only had enough for one. I have only had it for about a week but it is awesome. it is much more advanced than C1 and funner too.

Summary: Possible best game ever!
Review: You might look at Creatures 3 and think "for babies" or "how stupid is THAT!" that is not true. this is possibly the best game ever, not excluding Star Wars Jedi Knight 2, or Star Trek Elite Force. This was my third Creatures game, the first (Creatures Playground) was a little young, Creatures 2 the second was kinda pitiful (don't buy that one), but this one blows them out of the water. The peaceful, explorer norns have left there home world in a shee ship, but it was ambushed by the grendels, and the shee went to the planet, leaving the norns to fend for themselves- with your help. The ettins are engineers that, for some reason, take all the stuff to there terrarium. The grendels are villans, bullies, and almost vicious-looking. They, for some reason, take all the norns and attack them.
The ship is full fledged, with a bridge, engineering section, Norn terrarium (green grass, trees, a pond, and a learning center. I use the learning center to stash stuff like the ettins) ettin terrarium (desert, with a volcano) Jungle terrarium (grendels, jungle and pirahnas) Aquatic terrarium (kind of a hobbie center, a garden, or maybe a off duty lounge). A hint: when you find the control for the grendels and ettins, throw the grendel in one of the airlocks and just shut the door. I don't reccomend this if you don't have much time, but if you do the price would be worth it up to $$.
