what do you mean it doesnt get you on?

since Ive never heard of the game, Im gonna assume its old, and probably has no one playing it online...or does it give you some kind of error message.

The game isn't even out yet. :P

I first noticed it today, although I think I've heard of it before.

It seems like fun, gonna try the demo tomorrow.

My guess would be that the servers aren't up anymore. The game wasn't really all that popular (or good:P )from what i gather. The company just may not feel like spending the resources it would take for the last 5 years.Could be wrong though.

Ive never heard of the game, but i have to say if its old the servers online probly arent even up and running anymore. If not, i think you should use remote assistance thing on msn to get a friend to help, thats what i do

This game has been out forever, it was rather fun during it's run, but I agree with the fact that there probably aren't many servers left up. LAN play or direct connection seem like your only option with it at this point.

/sarcasm on

Impossible Creatures was a RTS made by a little known company called, Relic. They made a few mildly popular games called Homeworld, Dawn of War and Company of Heroes....

If you have any firewallmaking an exception would be a good idea, I've never played Impossible creature but at that point online must really be low for that game.

Can you play other games online too on your PC, your PS3 has no firewall or port blocking software so that's why it works fine
