Summary: best out of everything
Review: I think this this game is cool because Iknow what it is like. I got the demo of it in a magazine. It,s the best thing that has ever happened to me ever since. Even my sister,Kerry, plays the game; she's only 8! Now don't you think that's impressive- play the game and tell me if it's still impressive. So if I were you I would pre-order it before it comes out.

P.S. But if I were you I wouldn't worry about it, 'cause I would have it already pre-ordered it.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Just Another RTS
Review: I'm an computer gaming addict. You name it, I've played it. That being said, I'll explain why I gave this game three stars.

1. Graphics are enjoyable.
2. Sounds get annoying.
3. Somewhat improved missions, but nothing spectacular (don't expect something parrellel to Warcraft III or Starcraft)
4. Heavy Counter system. For those of you who don't understand that, it means that like another person said, its "rock-papers-sissors" A beats B, B beats C, and C beats A kinda thing. This is the exact idea that made Starcraft so popular. So its nothing new, but a great concept to be included, and one of the concepts that made Warcraft III less of a block buster hit.
5. Lots of unit variations. This leaves for a variety of attacks and defense. Although they claim an absolutely absurd number of different unit combonations, this is only because you can mix two creatures together in different ways. There are 1275 unique unit combonations, which is still a lot. But there are only so many that are worth using.

Thats my thoughts on the game...

Summary: A truly fun RTS? Impossible! Yes, Impossible Creatures!
Review: I've spent quite a bit of time with the demo and I'm adding this game to my Christmas Wish List. Over the years, I've tried a number of different RTS games and, frankly, the notion of "gathering resources & building structures" faster than the AI or your on-line opponent just never hooked me. In Impossible Creatures, Relic Entertainment has introduced the concept of player-designed units to the RTS genre, opening a whole new challenge for the player: Zebra+Ox or Zebra+Leopard? Not to mention an intruiging storyline involving our protagonist's long-lost father.

Mission objectives go well beyond the "Destroy Enemy Base" type of play, including collecting DNA from different animals to add to your unit creations, protecting innocent bystanders, discovering new technologies. And all within the first couple of missions.

Graphically speaking, this game is above par, providing a full 3D world for the player to interact with and manipulate. The camera can be positioned, rotated and zoomed to just about anywhere. Perfect for when you want to watch closely as your Coyopine makes mincemeat of the enemy. The animation is top-notch, as are the special effects and textures.

The sounds are also well done, though I do find some of the repeated alerts annoying: The creatures are under attack! Yes, I know that, I put them there to draw the enemy in! Oh well.

I've finally found an RTS I *want* to play! So come on, let's see what kind of creatures you can make!

Summary: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly...
Review: Im gonna put this like my title:

The Good:
You design your own army. You can make units to fit your personal playing style. This is the only reason I bought the game and the only reason its fun.
A long engrossing campaign allows you to stay playing single player for quite some time.
A lot of strategy invloved.(If your stupid than this is a bad thing)
Exceptional graphics. (3D)

The Bad:
CHEAT CODES! I hate em! (For real time strategy(rts) newbies this may be a good thing)
Poor pathfinding.(but every rts game has this problem)
The campaign is a little stupid and not for anyone over the age of 10
Not enough people online makes finding multiplayer games difficult.

The Just Plain Ugly:
Resources run out 2 minutes into the game. this makes alot of the campaign missions veerrry hard. this is a good thing for the rush minded player but [is bad] for anyone else.
If you cant design good creatures youll have a hard time with the game as some combinations are obviously better than others.
The fact that its a memory hog makes it not worth your hard drive space.

All in all this is a decent game and the question I know your pondering "Should I buy it?" Only if you want to fork over cash and hard drive space to get it. If your over 13 may I suggest Empire Earth or Age of Mythology instead. Warning: both are memory hogs

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Very fun and addictive RTS
Review: Impossible Creatures is an excellent Real Time Strategy game from Relic and Microsoft, where you can create your own army of mutated creatures.
Whether you want an electric eel with the torsoe of a monkey, a tiger with scorpian pinchers, or a hornet with an elephants head, the possibilities are endless.
The great thing is when you've created your army you can battle it out against other teams, either against the computer, as a multiplayer game for up to 6 players, or online!
I would definitely recommend this. It's fun!

Summary: Fun, imaginative strategy gameplay
Review: Impossible Creatures lets you play strategy in an unique way - by morphing together your own creature combinations!

First, the background. You're an adventurer in the 1930s whose father is missing. You track him down on an island, where you hook up with a woman to take on a mad scientist.

The basis of both of your armies is creature morphing. In essence you go around finding new creatures and snagging their DNA. You then go into your lab and can combine the body parts of ANY TWO CREATURES, and create your own uber-creature with the best of both!

This means the game is pretty much infinitely playable and is amazingly fun in multiplayer. Do you like dolphins and zebras? Why not combine the sleek swimming of the dolphin with the kicking hooves of the zebra! You can combine tigers and wasps. Leopards and oxen. The combinations are pretty much endless and it is quite a thrill to see how each one works out.

The missions in the game each call for certain tactics, as you learn how to go over, under, and through obstacles. But really the best gameplay comes when you take on other humans, and see how your favorite combos fare against their favorites.

Even if you're not into the fighting part, the creature creation can be quite fun on its own. An enjoyable, imaginative strategy game for all ages.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Impossible Creatures
Review: Impossible Creatures, although no longer available in stores and only played online by a select few, is a great game. There is less "strategy" in battle, but the key is to make an excellent animal army by combining two of the available 50 animals (75, with Insect Invasion and the bonus creature unlocker, both downloadable for free) with the army builder feature. And don't be surprised if it takes a good hour to make an army just the way you want it.

This game is good for both noobs and RTS veterans, and is definitely worth the cost.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Awsome Game
Review: It's so awsome! Creating all those weird creatures is cool!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Very fun!!!!!!!!!!
Review: Man, this is one of the coolest RTS games ever made. The creature making process is so original and funny. The singleplayer game is also different from the typical RTS games. And btw this is the first game that uses Direct X 9.0 technology. Buy It today and have a good laugh.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I LOVE THIS GAME
Review: My son and I have great fun mixing and matching creatures. Testing the high breads on the field can be very rewarding or very disappointing. Try the Sperm Whale and the Wolverine - 1500+ health points. Building your own maps is very rewarding. Deciding whether it should be each person for themself - teams - or taking on all the others by yourself is big fun too. Buy and enjoy - you won't regret it!
