Customer Review: Zero Stars for a Zero Sum game!
Summary: 1 Stars
Too bad I'm not able to leave a Zero Star. I played this game up to three campaigns. The micromanagement was futile and so was my creature assistant. During the third campaign, I was trying to micromanage as best as I could - gain resources. I realized I spent nearly an hour pulling trees for wood, that's it. A major premise of the game is like pulling digital e-weeds. I changed my game deity's name to "The Weed-Pulling Garden Gnome" - Finally frustrated, I swore on my own name, "By the dirty fingers of the Weed-Pulling-Garden-Gnome-God! Gawd! This game sucks!"Customer Review: OMGWTFBBQ!?

Summary: 1 Stars
This game looked cool. This game had fairly good reviews. But...I hated having to micromanage every little detail. I found the controls confusing and buggy- I was unable to attach my creature's leash to anything at all, for example. The tutorial was lacking in much basic information, and I couldn't find where to learn this stuff. I was thrown into a game with my villagers whining about needing food, housing, mercy (whatever!) etc, and I didn't know how to help the little jerks. Plus, the biggest drawback was how you navigate around the world. I guess I have a bad sense of direction, because I couldn't find anything. And all the swooping and twirling gave me motion sickness- honestly! I tried sitting down to read after playing, and almost got sick!
Try something else.
Customer Review: dull and tedious
Summary: 1 Stars
I remember being really enthusiastic about this game. I have liked similar games, dungeon keeper and the populous series.But this one failed on many levels.
Good-
Interesting ideas and large area to play with.
Bad-
Buggy, there were many small errors and crashes that I had to deal with for the short time I was playing it.
Too much micromanagement. If I were a god for those people I would wipe them out and hope the bee's were better subjects. they seemed inept at just about any aspect of life needing help for the smallest tasks, seemingly unable to learn from their mistakes and always demanding you do more for them.
Creature, good idea, but bad in practice. It was an interesting idea to have this animal and train it. but it was time consuming, vague on how you were supposed to do it, and not terribly useful.
Controls were terrible. I spent eons on one part throwing rocks since they didn't take into consideration that some of the movements would be difficult with a trackball mouse.
Narrators were annoying. The little devil and god were overly cartoonish, overused, and their voices quickly got on my nerves.
in a whole unless you like monotonous work, go with some other game. This game wins on coneptual department, and fails in playability and fun department.
Customer Review: Misleading info about system requirements
Summary: 1 Stars
I got this game when it first came out and was really looking forward to it. And I wish I could tell you how great it was. Or even how bad it was. However, I can't because even though I have Windows 98, this game wouldn't even load up. I called EA's customer support and they told me that there was nothing they could do. Since I had already opened the game (as I had planned on keeping it), I was out $50 for nothing but a blank screen.Moral? Make double sure that your system will run a game before you buy it. And even then, you're sometimes not out of the woods.
