Summary: Simply amazing for its time, or any time
Review: This game is amazing but worrying.The game is 2-D, but that won't matter, you don't "control" the creatures. There are no pre-programed creatures or behavior. The artificial inteligence demonstrated by the norns (the species of the creatures in this game) makes furbees look like those dolls that have a string you pull to make them talk (no offense to furbee lovers, especially if I can't spell furbee). Your role in this game is to be the "terrarium keeper". You have to try to keep them alive, happy, and healthy in the world they live in, which, although it isn't huge, will keep you happy. Your tool is the hand, with which you may pick up food, other animals, toys, interact with objects, and pet or dicipline your norns. You may have up to seven or eight norns in your world at a time, but you can export norns for future use, or give them to a fellow creatures player. The ultimate goal in this game is... well, I guess it is up to you. One goal is to create norns with strange or unique traits, such as colored skin or imortality. Also there is a score, affected by births, deaths, and your norns health. However, if you are interested in this game, there are two sequels, Creatures adventurtes, and other games with a similar premise, which you can find right here on Amazon. The worrying thing about this series is the artificial intelegence, which sometimes almost seems alive. What does this say about us? If we can program a computer to emulate life increasingly well, including comunication, what is to say that someday we may create something that is a computer, and yet alive. It seems imposible, but if it will happen, it looks as though the day is close. Frightning, isn't it?

Summary: Awesome Game!
Review: This game is my favorite! And now it is also cheap at ($) Ihighly advise you to buy this. It may be a little fustrating at first and the graphics arent awesome but the gameplay makes up for it and more. It is a very diverse game and can keep you hooked for a long time. One of the best features is that you can download stuff off the internet to add-on to the game. END

Summary: Requires patience and attention
Review: This isn't a mind-candy game by any stretch. Creatures is a thought-provoking, often frustrating game in which you create "Norns" and then try to teach them survival skills, speech and social skills. Some do just fine, some are difficult and a few are just lost causes. You will never know until you're knee-deep in Norns, what you're dealing with. If you buy this game, and I hope you will because it's very good, do yourself a favor and don't just jump in because you'll be lost right from the get-go. Read the info that comes with the game, it really will help. Bottom line: This is not a game for the easily distracted or those who want a lot of action, or something easy to win. Start creating these little guys and you're in for the long haul. Just like having kids.

Summary: Not as good as i thought
Review: When i read about this game from the reviews listed i thought: wow! That sounds like so much fun. The truth is, it's boring and very confusing. Unlike most games creatures does not come w/ intructions in the cover case. It does come w/ instruction manuals in the game, but they are not very good and hard to understand. The norns are very cute, but when you tell them what they do they don't listen. Also, when the bad guys(the grendels)come you don't know what to do and i never, after playing for ten hours figured it out. In all, i think that this game is a waste of money and time. I gave it one star however because the graphics are quite cute.
