Game Revolution
Creatures uses the best artificial intelligence I have seen (at least in the form of a game) and is a terrific new concept. If you are dedicated and patient, you will soon be breeding generations of Norns and discovering new Norns with characteristics that have never been seen before. I got a lot of satisfaction out of seeing these Norms living an enjoyable life and also having the knowledge that I allowed all of that to happen. Not everything was perfect. I spent a lot of time gritting my teeth due to complications experienced. (For example I couldn't get one of my Norns to do anything. She just wouldn't respond. A genetic dud.) Nevertheless, I enjoyed many hours with the Norms' life in my hands.

Mac Gamer
Creatures is a great idea for computer entertainment. Its premise and objectives are original and well thought out. It is a shame, however, that the technical aspect of such a game be the cause of its downfall. Cutting costs is one thing, but destroying game play and game speed due to poor development for the Mac platform will seldom get you good ratings, nor will it sell Mac games. It is unfortunate that Creatures' enjoyable game play cannot make up for its poor coding.
