From what I have seen and heard about this game. I think it's going to be awesome. You can combine the attributes of two animals from a selection of 50 different ones and use them any way you want. (No not like that, you sicko!) You want a unit that can burrow underground to hide, pop up, poison an enemy then go back underground? You got it! Just put a scorpion's tail on a lemming's body! Flying sharks? Why not?! I think this game is going to VERY fun.

As a beta tester for the game I can guarantee that you will NOT regret purchasing this title. Relic has a great reputation going with the Homeworld series and they do not disappoint with this winner. Grab the demo [...]. If you want even more info, stop by [...]and take a look around.

Nothing Is Impossible Here!!!

I first had the pleasure of playing this game via my roomate's laptop a few years ago. I have been enjoying it on my own ever since. He had bought it all on a whim to see if it was as good as the cover art made it seem.

The graphics are not too bad(all things considered). The game play resembles that of the Command and Conquer series...so if you are a fan of "A view from the top" then you should fit right in to this genre.

The is a great aspect to the possibilities of creation. "Playing god" if you will. Even though you are given a decent amount of base animals, you will find your possibilities of creation will be so profound, that you might not know where to begin.

A great game and a great time killer...and for the price, not a bad bargain at all.

Imaginative idea, fun to play

This game boasts something that no other RTS can offer- mixing two different animal species into one amazing creature and then sending them to wage war against other freakish armies.

There are so many different animal combinations that every battle is different and new. You can mix a lobster with a ram, giving you an amphibious unit that can charge up beaches and gore foes with its horns. By combining an eagle with a piranha you can create a flying fish that swoops down on enemies, tearing them with those impressive piranha teeth. Add a polar bear's limbs upon the body of a killer whale and you have a large walking tank that can traverse both land and sea. These are just some of my favourite combinations and there are many more.

The idea of mixing the creatures and making your own fighting units, each with their own strengths and weaknesses is a very imaginative, fun and interesting concept, but this game is definitely not the best RTS around. For example, the maximum number of units your armies can comprise of is a mere 75- that's including workers (in this game called henchmen).

However, this game does introduce some other good points other than its imaginative selling point. Some animals, such as wolves, lions and hyenas are pack hunters and therefore, when fighting in groups of four or more, recieve an attack bonus. Similarly, as oxen, rams, elephants, etc, are herding creatures, when they are combined with other animals they gain a defense bonus when in attacking in groups. These are nice extras and also feature the skunk's 'stink cloud' capability to stun foes and the whales' 'sonar pulse' to reveal an area of the map momentarily.

The maps themselves are average, with players battling on either a snowy, grassy or arid desert-like maps, each comprising of land- sometimes separtated by water- dotted with areas of coal and geysers to generate electricity with certain structures.

Overall, this is a good game with a different, interesting selling point that will keep anyone amused even if they are not a fan of the RTS games.

Great game, Freaking Hard

I played this game, LOve it, i was following this game after i beat homeworld; back in the days when it was called Sigma. (which by the way was a much cooler name) I got this game when it came out last year, and i got to say it is really really cool, combining creatures is totally fun, but just like in homeworld, after you beat the first mission it get really freaking hard. well.. maybe after the first island, the second part i can't beat, i try and try. I'm currently trying to get my skills up to snuff by playing against the computer in 'player vs computer' mode. I played a really slow game the other night with a total disadvantage, and ending up playing for 2 hours and 45 minutes, i recorded a demo btw. I won the game, i felt so awesome, i won with a disadvantage and one of my weakest creatures. Since i was playing the free add on, Insect Invasion, i made this crappy army, i dont think i was thinking straight when i combined the Ant with the Termite, making a Termant; i didn't realise they were pretty much the same creature, i was looking for a cheap creature i could manufacture. That was the creature i one the game with. Now i think i'm ready to fianlly beat the second island; i'm so bad at strategy games i know.

Only thing is, I wish there were more animals to download, oh well; i guess i'll have to wait for those sweet mods to come out.

oh yeah, Shark + Scorpion all the way.

My son and I have great fun mixing and matching creatures. Testing the high breads on the field can be very rewarding or very disappointing. Try the Sperm Whale and the Wolverine - 1500+ health points. Building your own maps is very rewarding. Deciding whether it should be each person for themself - teams - or taking on all the others by yourself is big fun too. Buy and enjoy - you won't regret it!

best out of everything

I think this this game is cool because Iknow what it is like. I got the demo of it in a magazine. It,s the best thing that has ever happened to me ever since. Even my sister,Kerry, plays the game; she's only 8! Now don't you think that's impressive- play the game and tell me if it's still impressive. So if I were you I would pre-order it before it comes out.

P.S. But if I were you I wouldn't worry about it, 'cause I would have it already pre-ordered it.

Impossible Creatures is the best game in the world!

This is truly the best game in the entire world. It alows the player to use his/her imagination with no limits! I tried the trial version and I can't wait to buy the actual game. It is a very challenging game. I thank the creators of this game. ALL YOU PEOPLE OUT THERE, IF YOU BUY THIS GAME, YOU WON'T REGRET IT!(especially to those parents who think that this game is to violent or not good for little kids)

Ok at first but gets boring.

When I first bought this game I was really addicted to it for a whole week then after that it just got boring.I liked the fact that you could mix animals together but there were some flaws that I could see.When playing a game there is a high demand to be fast about making your army.The random map mode is very hard I have not won once since I bought this game.(...)
