I love Creatures so much that one reason I got a PC is because they stopped making updated versions for Macintosh ! LOL. Creatures 2 is a lot like the first version, except the world is much bigger, the norns look slightly different but are still cute as can be, and there are more types of norns, which is fun ! You can even convert your Creatures One Norns into Creatures 2 norns using the 'nornverter' in your Creatures 2 folder ! So if you had any favorite norns you can update them into this new 'world'. It's great relaxation caring for the norns, and it's great for kids I think, it uses the imagination. The norns reproduce but not visibly... you just hear Pop ! (while one norn walks near another) and an egg soon appears from which hatches a brand new norn. The grendel is the 'bad guy' but all he can do is spread germs or hit them, and he mostly stays underground by the volcano.

Creatures 2 has a lot of fun things with it, especially if you get the Deluxe version with Lifekit #1. Even a helicopter ! Watching the look on the Norns' faces when flying around in the helicopter is hilarious ! You can even click on 'view' to see what they are thinking about or seeing. It's fun to think that they are actually 'looking' at something -- sometimes it's offscreen and until you click on 'view' you wouldn't even have known they were eyeing a carrot or toy in the distance. Hard to explain but this game is really unique.

A lot of people online are obsessed by this game, and invent new things for it and everything. Net search on Norns to see what I mean ! There is even a Creatures newsgroup. Anyway Creatures 2 is even more fun than Creatures One. I didn't like Creatures 3 as much, for various reasons. But if you liked Creatures (One), you'll love this one also ! There are lots of additions and improvements. Night falls, weather and seasons change, norns can even drown; but there are safeguards against that (i.e. PUFFER FISH rescue !). Their facial expressions are priceless. And when a new little baby 'nornlet' hatches -- all I can say is, awww ! (The norns have life stages even, such as infant, youth, adult, and 'pensioner' and their gait, and appearance, change accordingly). Well, now, I'll let you search online and check it out for yourself ! Have fun !

This game is great and i think that the graphics are pretty good
but the only reason that i give it five stars is because on my computer i have expereianced many problems and then found that there are many people who have expereianced the same thing, i cant get mine to work any more but i do have C1 and C3 and they work great!!!!! if u go through any problems though you can go to their official site and they will help you by supplying you with patches and other stuff like that and if you go to a search engine, type in norn or C2 then you are going to be in for a heck of a lot of stuff:)

This is a really neat game, if you already have this game and are interested in games that have something in common there are also the creatures 1 and 3 series. They are equally as good, although I must admit, that creatures 3 has much better graphics and came out in November.( If your Looking for other interesting games, try myst ( pronounced Mist, but Spelled Myst) and It's sequel Riven, they are very interesting too! It's all about exploring an island, although you don't save furry little animals. Good Luck!
