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

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.

This is Horrible!

I got this game thinking "Oh wow! This looks really cute!" but when I started to play the game it was really boring and just plain stupid. I only played this game once and I will never play it again. Don't waste your money on this.

I don't know...

I don't own this game, but as this is a PlayStation game, it won't have any addons made by fans of the game, and after reading those other reviews, I believe that this sucks.
I own the Creatures, Creatures2, Creatures3 and Creatures Adventures for PC, and they were the best games ever. But I just couldn't stand a creatures game without:
a) ettins
b) addons

So I say, only 2 stars.
If you're going to buy this, I recommend to buy one of the PC creatures games, not this.

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.

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.

worst graphics in the world

The Playstation Version is pretty lame because games like creatures require you to be able to move around the screen quickly with a tool like the mouse.

However the PC versions are much better. My tip to the developers, CONSOLES ARE FOR ACTION GAMES NOT STRATEGY!
