Video Game Reviews of Creatures 3
Customer Review: Awsome Game...A Little Fusterating Though...
Summary: 5 Stars
I had never had any of the Creatures games so when I bought I had no idea what to expect or what to do. Soon I figured it out and Creatures 3 is certainly the most engaging and interesting game I have ever owned! The norns think on their own and will tell you exactly how they are feeling and will respond to each other. I love all the breeds but my fav. is the beautiful Bengal Norn. The graphics are supurb and the machinery very useful...though I am still figuring some of them out (I have made quite a few mistakes with the chemical injection kit)I also find it fasintating that each terrarium has its own ecosystem. I have never seen a comp. game so intricate! Right away when you name your norns, you feel a special connection with them and have the need to protect them and care for them (I think part of it is because the norns are so cute). I will do anything to fend off Grendles(monsters that spread disease, steal norn eggs, and abuse your norns sometimes to death)from my creatures. I have also found that I like ettins very much and have started colinies. As a plus there is thousands of web sites out there with downloads to make the game even more fun. You can find objects everywhere and they really are COOL! Personaly I'm not that caught up with the "hack the game and create cool stuff" styl that people seem to have or the "create mutant norns for the fun of it" styl but I guerntee this game to be a BLAST!!! However I do not recomend this game for young children such as 3rd graders or below, Creatures Adventures or Creatures Playground would be mpre approriate. As a wonderful addition now the Docking Station has been released opening up a whole new on-line world with a cute new breed I may like even more than the Bengals! ^_^Customer Review: Great game

I love the creatures games and this one was great. You can pick up the creatures if you find the tool for it and the world is bigger than the other games. The only problem was I have a 600mhz celeron processor and still this game runs slow on my computer and sometimes the creatures slap each other to death (that's probably my fault for not teaching them properly, dunno). I've also gotten to the point where most of the critters were extinct in my world and I had to recycle a lot of agents to get enough energy to get some more critters made. I love watching the creatures grow up then seeing what will change in the next generation :) I'm always checking the monikers to see what's different and the creatures seem to take more interest in their youngsters than they did in creatures 2.Customer Review: A.I s Never Had It This Good !
Summary: 4 Stars
When I first played Creatures 2, I was frustrated by the complicated user interface. If you have played "Creatures 2" and you are thinking that " Creatures: 3" would be the same frustrating game, prepare yourself for a nice suprise.So what's this game about? Basically, you are to take care of a bunch of creatures called the Norns. You are to protect them from the virus infected Grendels that may kill them. Apart from that, explore the giant spaceship wth your Norns and help build machines to protect the Norns.
Firstly, the interface for "Creatures:3" has gone for a MAJOR makeover. Gone are the days of having to get the attention of your creatures by waving your "hand" infront of it. Now you can simply carry your creature or lead it to the location of your choice instead of having it follow the "hand". Even first time users of this game will easily learn how to use the simple and user-friendly interface.
Teaching your Norn words could not be any easier! Just turn on the learning machine and leave it to auto mode to teach your Norn how to speak. No more frustration of teaching your Norn!
Secondly, the graphics for this 2D game is out-of-this-world! Each distinct habitat found in the spaceship has it's own design. The background for each of the habitat looks real cool.
Thirdly, " Creatures: 3" has three completely new species of Norns! The cow patterned Civet Norn, the beautiful tiger like Bengal Norn and the plain yet pretty Buin Norn are the new Norns in this game. Better still, these new Norns are much more intelligent that the Norns featured in the previous two games of the "Creatures" series-good news to die-hard "Creatures" fan.
As each creature in the game has it's own unique digital DNA, each has it's own personality. Since it has it's own DNA, you can "chemically-engineer" your Norns to make them stronger or inject all kinds of weird chemicals into them !
The only flaw of this game is that you have to guess the properties of the medicine and chemicals found in the game. The manual included did not explain much about the chemicals.
Overall, this is a weird yet addictive game to play, with its biological accuracy and beautiful graphics, this game should attract anyone of all ages.
Customer Review: Creatures 3
Summary: 5 Stars
This game is very interesting. It's good for someone who likes to play God. It deals with genetics, mutation and breeding of your animals. It also deals with general care of a living thing. It is a very original game. It's also good if you don't have a pet. The only thing I would say is that the process of breeding takes too long (1 hour for animal to mature) and a while for mutations to show up.Customer Review: Creatures 3...great!

I got this game a year ago, and it was the first Creatures game I had ever bought. I had been reading reviews for it for a month, and bought it. When I installed the game and started playing it, it was great!! The Norns were very cute (even if the only facial expression they showed was happyness), the Ettins stole almost every object on the ship and brought it back to it's home area (the ettins are my favorite creatures to watch, I caught it stealing some machinary and told it to drop it, and it just looked at the screen and made a big, cheezy grin at me), and the grendles are horrifying! The only bad things about this game are the creator, it lets you put new objects you download on the internet in the game, but you need something called bioenergy...and...um...the power ups. (note: many creatures users at the creatures newsgroup disliked the power ups in Creatures 2. Creatures Labs didn't know when to stop :-D) I am looking foward to the Docking Station add-on Creatures Labs will be releasing for free! (You don't need Creatures 3 to run it, but it docks with it if you have it.) If you want to buy this game, I recomend that you buy the Creatures Trilogy in the game. It includes C1, C2, and C3 all together! Get this game, or the other game, now!
