“New play style vs the original black and white... would have liked the options to build and stuff like in the first but a solid game. More pets would have been nice.”

“Like its predecessor, Black & White 2 combines distinctly different gaming genres into one game. You will construct sophisticated cities, raise armies and lead them into battle, and if that weren't enough, you get to interact with your giant creature, a sort of virtual pet that can also serve as your enforcer. There's so much in Black & White 2 that it's amazing it all blends together like it does. Though, it does go a bit overboard in some areas at times.

Black & White 2 is considered a god game because you play, well, a god. Specifically, you happen to be god for the Greeks, though that's not to say that you're a Zeus or a Hera or one from the traditional pantheon. The setting is in a fantasy world that happens to be occupied by the Greeks, the Norsemen, the Japanese, and the Aztecs. The Aztecs begin the game by sacking the Grecian capital, but not before you manage to spirit away a handful of survivors to a faraway land to begin anew. This story is a huge improvement over the first game, because it offers a cause to see to the end, as well as a focused enemy to take down.”

“After having borrowed the first one from a friend I got this game, expecting more or less the same. What I discovered was that they didn't really make a sequel but rather a remake. There are some good and some bad things to be said for this so I'll...”

“After having borrowed the first one from a friend I got this game, expecting more or less the same. What I discovered was that they didn't really make a sequel but rather a remake. There are some good and some bad things to be said for this so I'll do just that :D
+ RTS. The previous game really didn't offer you a lot to do 'cept occupying yourself with your pet of choice. Now you can influence a lot more aspects of the game which is always nice.
+ Graphics. By God... or well, By Me in this game... the game serious looks a lot better now. I might upload some pics later on but this stuff is nice!
- Armies. You've got this huge creature and mighty god powers, rendering armies nearly useless. Quite a missed chance for me.
- God Powers. Seriously diminished when compared to the first.
- Creature. I don't know why but the creatures got a lot less love here. Not so important since he's become easier to handle but mostly sad if you've ever played the first game :(”

“Someone took the original Black & White and added RTS elements. Micro-Management nightmare.”

“Has a lot les to do with Civ Building and a lot more to do with fighting. Not really my cup of tea since I can't directly fight... can only encourage my orangutang to fight for me, and he's more interested in playing with villagers.”

“Black & White 2 was a decent sequel to the first. The Creature training gained a page which shows much more clearly what you've been teaching him, as opposed to the haphazard 'did you learn that yet?' of the first. You can send out little armies of your followers to attack the other little groups or just take over towns with their presence. The Lands where much larger then in the last game, which, I rather liked. Along with that, the towns that you build can have a little more personality to them; you can choose buildings based on how you're playing. Nasty looking pits for Evil, fountains and such for Good. All in all, I did enjoy it.”

“Lead your pet into battle, let him fireball and electrocute everyone!! MUAHAHAHAHA. If he won`t do it, Smack the HELL outta him!!!”
