  1. The sheer innovation of this new direction in gameplay shows the developers at Lionhead to be very creative thinkers and is worth the acquisition of the game by itself.

    If you fell in love with the virtual pet aspect within the original, the Creature AI is more dynamic and the insertion of variety keeps the adventure from becoming redundant. [Mar 2002, p.88]
  3. This new ability to duel on demand is sure to please fervent fight-fans and is a very useful training tool for those wanting to prepare intensively for an on-line rumpus.
  4. New additions to the game's recipe have fallen short, offering little incentive for the player to stray from the formula they have grown used to over the last ten months.
  5. This touchy-feely emphasis might not be to everyone's taste but if sheep herding, bowling, stroking a tiger's nether regions and teaching a chicken to breakdance is your idea of fun, then Creature's Isle is the creature feature for you.
  6. While entertaining in small doses, Creature Isle does not have the kind of countervailing payoff for these frustration as the first game.

    It may have spectacular AI, but it's still just an elaborate virtual pet forced to perform a tedious sequence of often frustrating tasks. [May 2002, p.89]

    It's okay.i agree that many actions you do take a while.and there are limits that what you do.such as if you wanted to be good.its hardIt's okay.i agree that many actions you do take a while.and there are limits that what you do.such as if you wanted to be good.its hard becuase of your creature doing somethng bad.or accidental.can get frustrating.B&W 2 lets you create a militia to fight off enemy creatures.lets wait for that and get some action in it.it should turn out like the Command & Conquer sort of game or Age of Empires.

    Yeccch! It's a pretty game, but it's seriously hampered by the slow pace. The amount of time it takes for your creature to go from Yeccch! It's a pretty game, but it's seriously hampered by the slow pace. The amount of time it takes for your creature to go from point A to point B and to perform a single action can be completely exhilirating, especially if you've had enough of the original. While certainly better than the original, it's only worth checking out if you haven't much else to do. Expand
