Your own virtual pets
Creatures: Village is a different kind of game. Your creatures live in a colorful and out of this world world that includes 15 exciting themed play areas with lots of activities and fun things to do. But this is only one aspect of the game. The coolest aspect is that you really get to raise your own virtual life pet(s). Once they (your Norns) hatch from an egg, you will need to take care of your new friend, give him a name, feed him when he is hungry, give him medicine when he is sick, make sure he is wearing warmer clothes when it snows, etc.
If you play for a while you will see your creature grow in front of your eyes. If you have hatched a second egg, once the two creatures become adults, they may fall in like, kiss, and reproduce. A new baby will be born with its own characteristics, part his mother, part his member of the clergy. The creatures are not pre-programmed. They make their own choices and learn from their mistakes. You guide them around their world and experience it with them, helping them to learn.

my six-year ancient outcome got bored with it very, very quickly. I agree that part of the conundrum is the lack of directions or even hints in the game itself. We couldn’t figure out what needed to be done and my kids didn’t want to wait around while I read the directions. And one of the creatures always looks mad so my six-year ancient spent a lot of time trying to make it pleased and she couldn’t. Other than that, the controls are pretty simple, and my kids liked it for a bit. But I wouldn’t buy it again.

I’m well over the recommended age and I LOVE Creatures III… so when I saw this one, I snapped it up thinking I would like it too. I was incorrect. This one is TRUELY geared towards younger kids.
HOWEVER, that said, it’s a clean game for kids with lots to see and do. The controls are unadorned. I didn’t give it 5 stars because it is SO unadorned… the graphics arent the greatest and it would be nice if it did a small more. You don’t have the breeding options or the machines that make the other Creatues sports meeting so much fun… which lends to it’s simplicity but at the same time, makes the game seem like it’s missing something. All in all, a splendid kids game and worth the buy.

I just selected up this game the other day and my 5 year ancient started playing it straight away. She has been addicted ever since. I got bored with it rather quickly, but I had to remember that my boredom is not what determines whether this is a excellent game or not. My daughter finds the game very simple to manuver and likes all of the different activities she can do with her Norns.
One thing that would make the game a small simpler would have been having the manual in print, or accessable while playing the game. There are some things that happen to the Norns that you don’t know how to react to, like a thermometer appears next to your Norn and they turn green. Well you know they are sick, but don’t know the process to make them better. So I had to exit the game to read the manual that comes on the disk to see how to care for sick Norns. By and large, the directions are simple to follow, but they could be simpler to access.
By and large, this is a excellent game with what appears to be lots of long-term playability.
