Impossible Creatures Critic Reviews

Whether you are looking for a good 25-30 hour RTS campaign, or just the next big online RTS in the tradition of Magic the Gathering, Impossible Creatures has something inventive and fun for everyone.

The replay value of this game is very good, as I've found out that MP matches can be quite intense, and after all, this is where the truly creative players should sparkle.

The concept of combining animals together to create units is innovative enough to overcome other stagnant RTS aspects.

A really fun and addicting title, despite the fact that it’s pretty similar to other titles in the same genre if you strip it down to the core.

I especially like that the Army Builder screen has something to analyze your army, and tell you where it is strong and where it is lacking.

Impossible creatures really shines in its multiplayer mode.

The creature creation process is close to enough to recommend this by itself, but put together with a fun single player mode and interesting "Magic the Gathering" style army building multiplayer strategy, it's a kooky ride that most gaming fans will enjoy.

Highly recommended to RTS fans, yet is not daring enough to follow through with some of its ideas and reach its full potential.

Once you get past all the gamesmanship, you can concentrate on bitch-slapping Mother Nature by creating twisted beasts that would make Jack Hanna brown his khakis.

The real fun for many IC players will be the Army Editor, which lets you play with combinations of animals and create your own creatures.

One of the more interesting and entertaining strategy titles to come along in quite some time.

What on the surface looks like your run-of-the-mill RTS game is actually a sophisticated action-packed balancing act.

Though the actual battles in Impossible Creatures aren't all that great, the game's offbeat premise, good looks, enjoyable campaign, and open-ended design make it both distinctive and recommendable.

A welcome mutation, but not as evolved as you’d think.

Though it struggles a bit as a real-time strategy game, Impossible Creatures makes great strides in unit building and should be commended for its lofty goals.

The innovation gets waylaid by the less than revolutionary components that make up the rest of the title... On the other hand, its less than revolutionary portions are actually very well polished and executed.

A great idea on paper, but it simply fizzles when the meaty portion of its plot is exposed to play.

What's truly surprising, given how atmospheric Relic's Homeworld was, is just how lame the story and ambience of Impossible Creatures turned out to be.

Unfortunately, the game play in "Impossible Creatures" doesn't match the title's ingenious premise.

The combat is fast-paced and aggressive, but balanced. The creature-combining mode is deep and involved, but accessible.
