Some of the other Reviews for Creatures 2 aren't so good, and I relize This, but once you get into it and you start to like the idea of saving the ecosystem, AND SOME REALLY CUTE NORNS from complete destruction,then you begin to understand your Norns, Grendels and Ettins. It's not as hard as people say. They're all close minded. this is a really challenging game, and I'll admit to that, but the norns do obey you, they do seem real, and they do listen to your commands, even if your not an animal tamer, and you can save Albia, Even if your not an expert bioligist. It's not as hard as people make it out to be. And the norns really are sweet things, I'll admit they aren't as cute and cuddly as the first Creatures adventure, but they are cute. I think that people just need to relax and try to understand the meaning of this game, which is really easy to do, I really like it. People just need to have an open opinion on some of these things. If you want my advice, this is a really interesting game, it makes you think, there are gene splicers to create your own norns, and ettins,and all types of neat adventures ready for you as you explore a computer world complete within itself, and virtualy perfect except for the Grendels.( YUUCCCKKKK! )This Truly is a great game, a work of 3D art, but if your not ready to give these creatures your full dedication and time, then this isn't the game for you, although it is fun. Have fun and play great, I hope kids of all ages can appreciate this wonderful game, but I don't recomend this game for anyone under 10 (It WILL be to hard for them! )have fun!

This is a game that I'd advise you to buy, but not without reading the pro's and con's, because this game might not be for you.

Pros: *Creatures look neat

*Sound is good

*Area is large

*What could be more fun than to raise your own creature?

*Creatures can breed.

*Third party add-ons available and encouraged

Cons:

*Game is very, very difficult

*They can easily die

*Aren't too intelligent i.e. Creature is holding food "Bob extremely hungry, get food"

*Frustrating

Even with the cons, this game is still a very good game. The game in a nutshell: Hatch creatures(Norns), teach them to speak, tickle them for good behavior, slap them for bad, feed them, care for them, get them to rest enough, get them to breed with another, get a large generation of norns.

A good game if you like to spend a lot of time on the computer.

1.Download the breeds and objects you find the most interesting from the net(like, the Life kits are now free!)
2.Hatch few norns, and teach them to speak
3.Explore the world with them, but be careful about going to the volcano, it has some radiation :o
4.The grendels are not really evil in this game, they hardly hit norns and are quite peaceful, but still, there's need to watch out
5.Breed your norns, and get interesting crossbreeds!
6.And so on...this game is the best ever! I RECOMMEND THIS TO EVERYBODY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've seen that a lot of people have given this game a not very good review but i loved it. it was very time consuming and addictive, but once i got into it and realized different tips and strategies of playing, it was so much fun. i especially like that you can find a million places on the net to d/l new things for the game. great game, especially for only 19.99, i paid almost double that.

I am a vetran Creatures Player, and as a comment to Creatures 2, This is the BEST!! When you hatch your norns, you can feel that bond that develops beetween you both. The Norns are undeniably cute, intelligent, and just plain funny! If I were you, BUY NOW!!!! Certain applets let you play with your norn's mind, or you can play with one Norn and have a brilliant time! It's open-ended, so play to your own prefrences! There are also many sites that let you create your own breeds, download new ones, download COBS, and so on! It's also very realistic. The norns live, eat, breed, die,(though there are some immortal ones that are floating around in Cyberspace ;) ) There's weather, the sun sets and rises, snow falls, heat waves follow, and so much more? Why are you still reading? Get going! See that little Buy button? Click it if you know what's good for ya!

I've had the game for about one and a a half years now and it's still as fun to play now as it was then. What makes it so fun is that you can always get new creatures breeds off from the internet, you can also get new types of plants, animals, food, and other things that will help your creatures world from the internet. By breeding different types of norns you can get some really neat colorful looking norns. I highly reccommend getting this game.

Ok, ere' goes. I purchased this game about a month ago. Please take notice, The above mentioned so called WHIZKID is not so whiz. Afterall, he does have a terribly insulting, sulking attitude about absolutely everhting. Maybe he wanted a hug when he was a kid. 'Shame to see so many depressed people. ANYWAY, this game needs alot more credit than it's been given. It is a very charming and time consuming game. It is unfortunately, rather frustrating if you come across some rather difficult norns. Which, might I include, does not, very fortunately, happen very often. Only when the norn is mistreated. That's right, mistreated, they actually recognize when they're not being treated well. Unless you have absolutly no skill with toddlers, or young children, who, obviously would need alittle love and care, this game is very rewarding. Unless you are one of the people described in the above sentence, like the Unknown Whizkid, who so graciously decided to be malicoius and unreasonable,you'll absolutley adore this game. It's very sweet. You watch the young ones grow up, and become adults, then they have children of their own. The children are too adorable for words, they pay attention to the all powerful hand untill they reach adolescence, something that most teenagers do. I should know, I am one. But they still depend on you to look out for them. Unless your coldhearted and don't have enough patience to care for a child, then I highly recommend this game. It's actually more of a learning expieriance. If you intend to babysit, or if you already do, than this is good practice. The norns actually look qiute alot like gremlins, If you've ever seen the movie. I hope that you decide to purchase this game, or the third version, because the creatures in the first game are repulsive and disgusting, have no facial expression, and they blend into the background. The graphics are absolutley terrible in Creatures 1. I suggest you stay away from that edition. Good luck with the game, I hope you enjoy it!

I tried this at a friend's house and ordered mine from eBay (sorry Amazon, but THEY ship to Canada!) and it's a GREAT game! The norns are kind of hard to train ("freddy hungry, run grendel"... what?!?!) It's hard to make them eat, sleep, get away from the grendels, not drown... but it's a challenge. Also if you have little kids they should try Creatures Adventures. It's creatures for young children and it's also cute although I never tried it. This game is pretty old so it is at bargain prices now. Have fun! :-)

I bought this game when it first came out.. That's right, it cost me $40.. I was in middle school at the time and I confess, I was extremely disappointed at first... My norns kept dying. i didn't know what to do.

Probably five plus years later I picked it up again and I fell in love with it. I realized how complicated and vast the eco system was, how complicated it was to care for the norns, what a great challenge it presented.

If you are a science head and find sims to be a little bit mundane at times, you gotta play this game. If you don't like it at first it will grow on you. Trust me, like the description said, this game is very underrated!

I l oved Creatures2 ever since i got it.You start out with 6 norn eggs and hatch them,teach them to talk and other stuff.And also the are the evil, deseased,grendels that will hurt your norns,then there are the Ettins(my favorite personaly)they are the horders.There is also a Splicer machine so you can splice your creatures to see what comes out!Oh and a radioactive volcano.
