No, because my crappy Macbook doesn't have the hardware to run it.

One of my friends already torrented it and I must say I was disappointed. It got very boring too fast. The game being this over-hyped left too much to be expected, and it just wasn't delivered.

I honestly can't understand why this game was hyped for depth reasons. It is a Maxis game, plus Will Wright has said on multiple occasions that it was a casual game. Were these people honestly expecting 20+ hours for the tutorial stages? Plus all these torrenters bitching about a game they got for free is just (I was not directing any of that rant at you).


Anyways, here are my creatures if anyone wants to download them:

Looks boring as **** to me. Maybe if it didn't have the cutesy wootsy Maxis graphics I'd be more interested.

1. Looks like a kids game
2. Looks mind numbingly boring

No, he didn't torrent the Creature Creator, he torrented the full, actual game early. Gotta love those Maxis leaks....

Yeah, I know.

The full-game torrenters are who I was going on about.
