Summary: cute creatures and fun education
Review: My uncle gave me a copy of this awhile ago and i loved it. It's based on genetics and biology. It got a lot of interesting things to do. It's knda tricky but theres all sorts of upgrades on the internet and it's fun to play when your kinda bored and need something to occupy your mind.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Truthfull, reasonable reveiw, one of the few here!
Review: Ok, ere' goes. I purchased this game about a month ago. Please take notice, The above mentioned so called WHIZKID is not so whiz. Afterall, he does have a terribly insulting, sulking attitude about absolutely everhting. Maybe he wanted a hug when he was a kid. 'Shame to see so many depressed people. ANYWAY, this game needs alot more credit than it's been given. It is a very charming and time consuming game. It is unfortunately, rather frustrating if you come across some rather difficult norns. Which, might I include, does not, very fortunately, happen very often. Only when the norn is mistreated. That's right, mistreated, they actually recognize when they're not being treated well. Unless you have absolutly no skill with toddlers, or young children, who, obviously would need alittle love and care, this game is very rewarding. Unless you are one of the people described in the above sentence, like the Unknown Whizkid, who so graciously decided to be malicoius and unreasonable,you'll absolutley adore this game. It's very sweet. You watch the young ones grow up, and become adults, then they have children of their own. The children are too adorable for words, they pay attention to the all powerful hand untill they reach adolescence, something that most teenagers do. I should know, I am one. But they still depend on you to look out for them. Unless your coldhearted and don't have enough patience to care for a child, then I highly recommend this game. It's actually more of a learning expieriance. If you intend to babysit, or if you already do, than this is good practice. The norns actually look qiute alot like gremlins, If you've ever seen the movie. I hope that you decide to purchase this game, or the third version, because the creatures in the first game are repulsive and disgusting, have no facial expression, and they blend into the background. The graphics are absolutley terrible in Creatures 1. I suggest you stay away from that edition. Good luck with the game, I hope you enjoy it!

Summary: Creatures 2 review (Look Please)
Review: Some of the other Reviews for Creatures 2 aren't so good, and I relize This, but once you get into it and you start to like the idea of saving the ecosystem, AND SOME REALLY CUTE NORNS from complete destruction,then you begin to understand your Norns, Grendels and Ettins. It's not as hard as people say. They're all close minded. this is a really challenging game, and I'll admit to that, but the norns do obey you, they do seem real, and they do listen to your commands, even if your not an animal tamer, and you can save Albia, Even if your not an expert bioligist. It's not as hard as people make it out to be. And the norns really are sweet things, I'll admit they aren't as cute and cuddly as the first Creatures adventure, but they are cute. I think that people just need to relax and try to understand the meaning of this game, which is really easy to do, I really like it. People just need to have an open opinion on some of these things. If you want my advice, this is a really interesting game, it makes you think, there are gene splicers to create your own norns, and ettins,and all types of neat adventures ready for you as you explore a computer world complete within itself, and virtualy perfect except for the Grendels.( YUUCCCKKKK! )This Truly is a great game, a work of 3D art, but if your not ready to give these creatures your full dedication and time, then this isn't the game for you, although it is fun. Have fun and play great, I hope kids of all ages can appreciate this wonderful game, but I don't recomend this game for anyone under 10 (It WILL be to hard for them! )have fun!

Summary: Fun with difficulty
Review: This is a game that I'd advise you to buy, but not without reading the pro's and con's, because this game might not be for you.

Pros: *Creatures look neat

*Sound is good

*Area is large

*What could be more fun than to raise your own creature?

*Creatures can breed.

*Third party add-ons available and encouraged

Cons:

*Game is very, very difficult

*They can easily die

*Aren't too intelligent i.e. Creature is holding food "Bob extremely hungry, get food"

*Frustrating

Even with the cons, this game is still a very good game. The game in a nutshell: Hatch creatures(Norns), teach them to speak, tickle them for good behavior, slap them for bad, feed them, care for them, get them to rest enough, get them to breed with another, get a large generation of norns.

A good game if you like to spend a lot of time on the computer.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: This game could do alot better!
Review: When I first got this game I was so excited because it was used and I had been waiting for weeks. But when I got on the game it took me a while to even hatch an egg! The help would not work only tips! They say this game is for six and up well there is a fertility section that explains "sex vibes" and that is not appropriate for six and under plus the norns are impossible to feed so they die!!!
Please reconsisder before buying this game!
