The Microsoft `Impossible Creatures` Web site is now live and visitors can find strange creatures such as tigorpions, hyenbats and spitting cheetahs roaming the site. To see the magical world of this new real-time strategy PC game, go to www.microsoft.com/games/impossiblecreatures/.
"Gamers who have ever wondered what it would be like to see a scorpion with a tiger`s head can look through the creatures section which features thousands of animal combinations you can create with `Impossible Creatures`," explains Belinda Godfrey, home and entertainment manager at Microsoft South Africa.
The official site also features information about the structures, combat and story elements of the game along with two versions of a downloadable Fan Site Kit. Gamers can also find out more information about the mod tools that will soon be available for this unusual real-time strategy game.
Set in the 1930s, `Impossible Creatures` is a 3-D RTS (real-time strategy) game that pits players against an evil madman in a desperate campaign across a chain of remote and diverse islands.
Using Earth`s most formidable animals as building blocks, players can create an army of genetically altered mutant monsters in a struggle to protect the unsuspecting world. Developed by Relic Entertainment Inc, the game is due for release in February 2003.
