When the missionaries from your land of Eden wreck on the coast of Creature Isle, you and your Creature are suddenly called forth through the vortex to encounter the Brotherhood of Creatures, a collective of giants without deities.

Only by successfully completing the challenges imposed by the Brotherhood and defeating their leader can you and your Creature become the supreme rulers of Creature Isle.

• An apprentice for your Creature: Your Creature gains an apprentice and a pet as it is tasked with the care of the little tyke. Teach it well and it will help your Creature grow in power.
• Fall in love with the Creature of your dreams: Your Creature falls head-over-heels for the beautiful Eve and must win her favor by completingher labors of love.
• Two new islands to explore: Set off with your Creature to explore the many wonders of Creature Isle and Graduation Island.

4.0 out of 5 stars A pretty good expansion, but not the best in the world., November 11, 2002

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Black & White Expansion: Creature Isle (CD-ROM)

If you have gotten to at least Land 3 in the original B&W, this expansion won't dissapoint you. It is really creative, and I like te new creatures (Rhino, Chicken, Alligator). The trials are pretty fun, yet some of them are quite annoying. The biggest problem with this game is that it won't upgrade your original Black and White. This Really ticked me off, cuz I was hoping to beat the game with an alligator. However, like I said before, it's still really fun until you've beaten it.

4.0 out of 5 stars A very interesting and involved expasion pack, July 11, 2002

This review is from: Black & White Expansion: Creature Isle (CD-ROM)

Not a bad expasion pack! Great new concepts-such as the Brotherhood:a group of elite creatures that need to pass trials to join the group. New mircales; speed and cancel all mircales can be useful at times. 3 new creatures; all of which are at least fairly interesting-the croc is my new favorite, and the chicken is hilarious to use-the rhino is pretty cool too. At the same time, you get a small chicken follower, simply known as 'Tyke'. Tyke will follow your creature and learn miracles, skills and other abilities.
Unfortunatly, there is some bad press: both technical and gameplay. In technical, the game is not any faster than before, in fact, it's somewhat slower, sometimes jerking or slowing down-however, a minor drawback for the patiant and those with good computers. In gameplay, Tyke is difficult to control-he is EXTREMELY intellegent-learning most miracles and skills at %20-25 at a time, and sometimes more. However, you cannot control Tyke, and your creature must, therefore, Tyke may be good or evil against your will. Also, it is more difficult to sustain being good as a god, as well as keeping your creature good...if you are playing the 'goody' way. Some of the trials may also be frusterating, repetative or annoying. Still, many of the trials offer a good laugh and/or a lot of fun. I recommend this expansion-it's worth the minor amount of money.

3.0 out of 5 stars Ummm....., May 28, 2002

Person - See all my reviews

This review is from: Black & White Expansion: Creature Isle (CD-ROM)

Creature Isle is a good game- if you have the patience. The tasks that you must accomplish seem really pointless and tedious if not monotonous at times. The AI is wack, and the game often does some really weird things (sometimes my creatures apprentice wont do anything, he/she just stands there). I havent really put in too many hours playing this game, only around 30 hours. But, if you are a rabid B&W fan like i am, you will enjoy the vast things to do and see. Also, if you are into modifying things, this game wont work. What i would do is go to bwcenter.com and download the BWbackup, which backs up the important things, like the creature mind and all that neat stuff. Then uninstall and reinstall black and white and install Creature Isle. If you need any help, the Customer Support is pretty good. I even had one person ask my phone number so he/she could help me with it.

Overall its not a bad game. Besides the qwerks its pretty fun and addicting
