This is the worst game I've ever played. You have to probably three years old or younger to enjoy it.

Fun for girls!

This game hasn't come out yet where I live, but I've been playing the computer game for close to 6 years now. I love it, and have high hopes that Creatures will be as fun and entertaining on Playstation as it is on the computer.

The game isn't a win or lose type of game, but a game where you try to raise little creatures, called norns. When the norns are old enough, they'll have kids of their own, and so goes the game. It's exciting to see what the babies will look like, what traits they got from mom and what traits they got from dad.

I'm not sure how they've made the world, but in the computer game there's a volcano island to explore and then the main piece of land. It's really fun teaching your norn or norns how to say things, and trying to get them to do what you want. It's also fun exploring the world, but it gets a little frustrating sometimes if you want your norn to go somewhere, but he/she doesn't want to go there. In the computer game you're a hand who can tickle the norn if he/she does something good, or give him/her a light slap if he/she does something bad. Or, if they know what the words mean, you can either say yes for good, or no for bad.

Naming the norns is also fun and I recommend naming by generation, for example the first generation would have names all starting with A, the second generation names starting with B, etc. There are some things you have to look out for, though, like poisonous plants, drowning in the oceans, or grendels. Grendels aren't too bad if you only pass by them, but they can start hitting your norn if you linger around one.

I have immensely enjoyed the computer game and hope to enjoy the Playstation game as much. Hope this review has helped you.

Great Game

Raising the creatures called norns is really fun, but hard. I enjoy playing this game on the computer or my playstation. One thing that I like better on the playstation game is that you get to store norns in a memory card so that you don't have to have too many norns all out at the same time. I would recomend this game to people who enjoy Petz.

Excellent concept, bad port.

I highly enjoyed this game when it first came out - for PC and Mac - and spent endless hours fine-tuning my breeding programs, running 'wildling' sims, and generally enjoying the God-like scenario.
Unfortunately, Mindscape decided not to release another version for Macs, and therefore I purchased Creatures for Playstation to run on my Virtual Game Station.
It's still a good game, with all the charm of the original - my Norns bred within the first half-hour, so it's much faster than the computer version. However, the interface is much less attractive on PS - even granting the handicap of having to map PS controller buttons to a keyboard, it's clunky, slow, and ugly compared to the 'hand' you played in the computer versions.
Still worth a look and a couple of wasted afternoons.

Disappointing, But Still Good

I've been playing Creatures 2 for the PC for several years now, and I love the game. I had high hopes for this game as sort of a different combination game with lots of different norn breeds and add-ons to start off with, but instead of an improved game (improved from the PC Creatures) it was simpler. I'll split the good aspects of this game from the bad below:
BAD POINTS:
There was a limit on how many norns you could have in each world (10, at the very least you could have made it 15, people!), less toys, and since you can't download add-ons from the internet to the PS1, like I did with the PC version, it was a LOT more limited there, too. You could teach norns how to speak in the PC versions of Creatures 1,2, and 3, and you can't in this playstation version of Creatures. Also, I didn't like playing as the fairy thing when taking care of my creatures in this game, I much prefered playing as the hand in Creatures for the PC.
GOOD POINTS:
The music in this game WAS pretty good, and it's nice to see original creatures from PC Creatures 1,2, and 3(each version had a different sort of style of creatures, and you could tell by just looking at them which version they were originally from) get together in one game. Also, there were some other good points, althrough the PC versions of Creatures 1,2, and three had most of them.

Overall I would recommend this to someone who doesn't have the PC versions of Creatures 1,2, and 3, or that doesn't have a computer or has a computer with low memory or other computer problems. Also, this is better for younger kids than the PC versions of Creatures, since the computer versions are more realistic in various ways.

Horribly Boring

I hated this game it was so boring and the instructions manual was hard to figure out. You start out with two and have to breed them and it goes too fast and is not like tomagotchi at all. These "Creatures" are annoying and sound like birds. I got sick of this game the day I got it after I beat the game. Even though I only spent 15 dollars I would have much rather spent on a CD or movie and I think you should too this game is horrible! There are only so many worlds and the game play is boring, the graphics are bad, and the sound has no originality to it it is the same sound played over and over they just speed up the sound of it when they are hurt by the stupid little things that bite them. Take my advice and don't waste your money.

Confusing and Annoying

I bought this game because I like to play virtual pet games and thought this would be pretty cute from the description. It says you can raise your little pets, breed them and make new species and visit new worlds. The "creatures" themselves are kinda cute but they are so muddled in with the background of the game that it is hard to figure out what they want you to do, feed them, play with them, etc. Most games you can start without reading the game instructions. That would not be this one, you constantly have to look at the book to find out halfway what is happening. The game ends up getting frustrating and after about two days, I gave up and haven't touched it since. It's just not a fun game and unless you like annoying challenges I wouldn't recommend it.

worst graphics in the world
