I thought I wasn't going to like this game at first. When I started playing for the very first time, I was very confused with what I was supposed to do. I ought to have read the manuals first, but I began exploring... and left the game at that. Months later I return back and decide to start a new world. I put some eggs in the learning room and -whizz kaboom- those critters called Norns (which you are breeding in this game) began to talk. Immediately I could understand them better. And when I found the place where you could inject chemicals in your creatures... I couldn't stop. It was so randomly hilarious as I've never played something like this with complex brains and chemicals and diseases... I wish Spore would have been this awesome! I must say that the creator of this series must've been a genius for making something this complex. When I managed to breed a Norn who was tired *all the time* it was just... it felt like those critters actually had some personality in them. And when that particular Norn got sick with Antigen 2's, I became quite sad and somehow managed to cure him with Antibody 2 injections. But he was still as tired anyway, and whenever I told him to rest, he would do it for a while and still complain that he was tired. Insomnia? Gosh, I go writing over this game like an excited kid. Well, perhaps this game has just brought that side out of me. The only minor complaint is about my taste, because I find this game a bit too cutesy for me with the giant eyes. But as for the gameplay... awesome! Also, I'd love to see the extra breed packs offered on GOG someday! -wink nudge wink nudge nudge- Also, the Creatures series creator Steve Grand is kickstarting a new (game?) project which is called Grandroids... I'm kind of looking forward to it after playing this game. Oh, and the Docking Station is still working online, if anybody was wondering. I just visited it a few minutes ago. I recommend this game to those who enjoy complex simulators. A good purchase, in my opinion.
