This game certainly takes some getting used to, the initial creatures (norns) have no idea how to take care of themselves, and the world can be rather overwhelming at first, but once the third or fourth generation rolls around you can take your eyes off of them for a little bit longer! The world they live in, Albia, is amazing, the diversity of one area to another is captivating and beautiful. There are some areas where it's very dangerous for your norns to be, there are others where your norns can thrive for generations. I can play creatures for hours and not even realise the time has gone by! This game is so easy to change and alter to your hearts content with the amazing amount of user created content available on the net. Even though the game has been around for so many years, it's still an amazing game that can entertain for hours. Once you figure out how the various apps work the game is even easier to play! It definitely takes practise, but once you get the hang of it it's a lot of fun.
