:''"If there’s anything good to say about this game, it’s that Xicat Interactive [the game's publishers] succeeded in perfectly recreating the experience of owning real sea monkeys. There’s the same wait for entertainment that never comes, the same waste of money, and the same bitter disappointment."''

:''The problem is that these aquatic pets are too much like real fish; there's only so much you can watch before you pass out from boredom. Creature Labs' own Creatures series is more interactive . . . At least in Creatures, the digital denizens could learn self-defense and deal with predators. By training them and helping them, the user does more than watch -- they are also nurturing and playing god, something strategy gamers love doing. Users aren't playing god in Sea-Monkeys; they're playing interior decorator.''"
