Got my copy of Impossible Creatures today!

I've been beta testing for the multiplayer on this game and it's sweet. You combine animals together to make freaks o' nature! What could be more fun? Well, then you get to bash the other guy with them. That's pretty fun when its an online opponent.

Unlike longer multiplayer strategy games (AOE, EE, SW:BG etc.) that take around an hour to flesh out, this one takes twenty to fourty. In fear of calling it rushing, lets just say it's a constant battle from the get-go.

My favorite creatures in the multiplayer beta:
Porcupine-Baboons that throw quills and are fast,
Flying Owl-Sharks,
Tiger-Frogs with scary, long poison tongues,
Ram-Sharks that swim and buck heads,
Chimp-sharks that throw rocks!
(okay so the sharks are powerful)

I'd reccomend it to anyone who likes single or multiplayer RTS.

:rockon:

P.S. The graphics are schweeet, of course. So are the sounds and everything else....

demo is alright, pretty indepth. Get it from the official website, but still not worth buying (cause i'm a cheapskate ;))

7.9 isn't exactly a scorching score.

I played through some of the single player and thought it was a little wierd - not as cool as multiplayer. The cutscenes are downright corny, and the script is kinduh weak. Doesn't detract from creature combining and multiplayer strategy though, thank God. :p

Tried the demo and didn't really like it. :( Not my kind of strategy game.

played the demo a bit, didn't like it really. too hard to distinquish unit types and you don't really know what the hell your enemy is throwing at you.
