Black & White

THE BAD:
Gets boring after awhile(who has actually played this game to the end?)

SUMMARY:
There were some times when I laughed because of things that happened during the game(my creature throwing people at buildings)and there where times when I almost fell asleep. This game is great, but eventually get bored of it and you will want to play something else. The concept of the game is that you are a god ruling over the people. You have a creature too. It is your job to train your creature and keep your people believing in you. Get this game if you are interested, but otherwise get another game.

Bottom Line:

Nice game, but gets boring.

THE BAD:
-your creature can get annoying with what they do
-stupid villagers

SUMMARY:
well this is a game where you can be your true self. A GOD. you control the fate of the little villagers in towns. you can be good or evil, its your choice.

well you can kill people and feed them to your creature, you can throw rocks, and trees, and you can do lots of godly stuff.

this is a game where you get to have fun. its great. you should have a copy of this, its a must have.

THE BAD:
Nothing really, it's a little hard but that's the fun.

SUMMARY:
I think that this is a great game. It has all the great qualities a game could have: good graphics, very good story line, very realistic. I think after Creatures Isle blows over they should come out with a Black and White 2 with like a whole new threat.

THE BAD:
Weird gameplay.

SUMMARY:
When you play for good your creature starts to look wussy but the more evil you get the tougher your creature looks. Its worth the price in every way!

THE BAD:
Nothing.

SUMMARY:
Excellent game.
Has good gameplay, good graphics, good AI; everything is ideal.

THE BAD:
Difficult and becomes boring.

SUMMARY:
A great game for about 5 hours then you just want to go back to the classics.
Good graphics, interesting idea, but soon gets annoying. You need a pretty fast computer to run this one to the fullist (700Mhz + Good 3d grapics card) not the greatest but it is a change.

THE BAD:
It can get annoying if it doesnt go your way.

SUMMARY:
B&W is a brilliant, original game with many twists that will keep you amused for ages!
I probably would have given it a 5 if it wasn't for it's needs for a top quality graphics card and an overall very fast computer...

THE BAD:
- Graphics look a little outdated up close
- Might need a ninga PC to handle it
- Only good for those who want to put the time and effort in

SUMMARY:
Black and White; after about three months after it's long awaited release, it still ceases to amaze me.

So, what is Black and White?
Well, it could be an RTS, an RPG, a tamigotchi style game... the list is endless! There is no real easy way to explain this game, it is a mircale in itself.

The first thing you see after launching the game is an excellent representation of the Lionhead logo. Hell, it even warps into your personal ensigna which you choose at the beginning of the game.

The introduction really sets the scene. It starts off with a couple with their son next to the shore.

"No son, don't go into the water!"
"Careful, the sharks!"

"There is no need for a god on an island of innocent people... that is until fate steps in"

So, naturally...

"Please someone, I call to the heavens, save our son!"

And that is where it begins. A hand comes from the clouds and saves the young boy, the island is in awe, you are their god!

The game plays in a simple, choose gold scroll quest to progress, alongside small 'mini-game' silver scroll quests (which are not vital to the progression of the game itself, but lets just say you get some tasty rewards from them...).

You get a creature ("Every God has a creature", White says, one of the two consiences who are popping up with hints, or in the case of Black, ways to kill the village in the fastest time) to pick from. This little guy will learn from you. If you start helping the villagers, the creature will start stroking them and doing general good deeds. But if you set fire to their homes and plant trees on their crops... your creature will run wild demolishing anything that comes in its way.

As you progress you get to meet much stronger creatures which you can transfer your creature's 'experience' to!

All goes well, until the arrival of another god... so you fight through the islands converting the towns to your religion. Sounds good? Well, hey it is!

There are so many small details in this game, from the way the game takes your address book from Outlook Express to name your villagers, to the way the music changes depending on your alignment.

The only bad thing I could say about it may be the way that the game's graphics do not look that good up close, or the way that your creature decides to eat everyone because he is hungry (er wait, that was my creature... hehe, disregard that)

Overall?
It is all good, a great buy with great value for money with an extensive online service which will keep you addicted to the godly magic.
