Impossible Creatures is one of the latest strategy games from Microsoft. This real-time strategy game puts a spin on the genre allowing the player to create unique fighting units by combining any two animals into a single creature.
Story:
"The year is 1937 and you are Rex Chance, renowned world adventurer and war correspondent. You have spent your life exploring the wilds of Africa, the ice shelves of Antarctica, and the sultry jungles of the Amazon. You’ve seen every beast on earth… or so you thought. You’ve just received word from your long lost father, scientist Dr. Eric Chanikov, who disappeared many years before. Suddenly, he now begs to see you. So you fly to the Isla Variatas in the South Pacific where he works in the employ of wealthy industrialist Upton Julius. But what begins as an innocent reunion quickly turns sour as you come face-to-face with the Sigma Technology."
"What is the Sigma Technology? Imagine possessing the ability to combine any two animals into a single creature. Flying elephants, giant ants, and amphibious sharks...anything you can conceive. The possibilities boggle the mind! What benefits might it bring? What evil might be wrought?" As quoted from Microsoft.
Features:
-Impossible Creatures has more than 50 animals that can be combined to create a vast number of mutant creatures, the results of which are limited only by players' creativity.
-By building these creatures into powerful and effective armies, players can define their strategy and how they want to tackle their opponents.
-The highly detailed, fully 3-D dynamic world allows players to battle in four richly detailed environments, each with special flora and fauna.
-Players command dozens of creatures, and henchmen in 15 missions across 14 distinct islands.
-Impossible Creatures offers boundless creature combinations, armies, and strategies as well as online play and an easy-to-use mission editor that provides limitless play options.
-Multiple players can engage in unprecedented, intense game play. Fast and ferocious multiplayer games bring a fresh RTS experience by focusing on furious, combat-driven action.
Graphics :
The graphics in Impossible Creatures are very good. The rendering engine is called SPOOGE. It supports things like pixel and vertex shaders, Bezier curves, frustum culling, etc. The latest and most powerful hardware isn’t required to get good graphics performance. Which is always a plus to some of us who can't afford a 400$ video card.
