Amazon.com Product Description
Will you be an evil or benevolent deity? That's the choice you must make upon returning to a warring land in Black & White 2. Like its wildly successful predecessor, Black & White, the sequel is all about moral choices. The land, however, has transformed itself. The inhabitants of this breathtaking 3D world have lost their innocence and developed new weapons and technology. As you enter this warring world, will you make tribes coexist peacefully; encouraging villages and towns to grow into sprawling metropolises, or prompt them to inflict their will upon others by, creating and commanding large armies that seek to dominate and conquer? Creatures in the game have grown too. They can learn strategies, master new abilities and skills, lead armies into battle and be your ultimate unit. Black & White 2 includes other new elements, such as improved graphics and miracle effects such as rivers of fire and earthquakes that yield massive destruction. Every choice you make will have an impact. Each action and inactions prompts obvious changes to buildings, flora and fauna, all morphing to reflect your personality.
Product Description
In Black and White 2, you'll reprise your role in the original classic - and try to spread your worship around the world. The discovery of moreadvanced weaponry has led to more warfare -- this has caused destruction on the once-idyllic world. Now you must earn the respect and worship of the natives. How you choose to do that, whether through nurturing them or terrorizing them, is up to you. Create and control settlements that include housing, farming, and many other buildings like fountains and lush gardens (if youre Good) or stocks and guillotines (if youre Evil) Use multiple tools to help train and improve Creatures - using sticks, whips, and feathers, players can create their own unique tools

 My favorite game January 2, 2008
Ok, after reading most of the reviews here, I am frankly disgusted by how I see people whining about it. The largest complaint, the boring tutorials, I found interesting. I never look at tutorials in any game I play, but I like the tutorial in B&W2, as it gives you free tribute. Also, I play Halo, Battlefield 2, and plenty of other fast-paced games. I still love this game, even though it gets boring after a while. Also, as some seem to be complaining, "Oh, it makes my kids want to be evil," I would like to point out that if your kids can be that easily influenced by a computer game, then you should have a talk with them.
I have played almost every strategy/RTS/City-builder game that I can find, and I say decisively that B&W2 is at least #2 out of all of them. I think the game is great, and seems to resemble the soon-coming game SPORE, for those of you who know it.
In summary, this is a great game, for people who are not addicted to blood, gore and violence, but rather for people who love a challenge, and a good deal of autonomy.
Very fun and addicting December 13, 2007
This game starts out slow but once you get going you will find yourself spending hours and hours on it. It may be a bit confusing training your creature at first because some of the things it does is a mixture of good and evil and depending on how you want to be seen it can be hard to control.
Also it says you can be good or evil but after level 2 it's almost as if you have to be good because the armies are to big to just over run right from the start.
 Pretty Daggone Awesome November 9, 2007
If your system can handle this game, I definitely recommend it. It really is an amazing "God game" with complete control over almost everything you come across. The graphics are also quite astounding, with great views and amazing detail put into all surfaces. The level of interaction with everything really gives the sense of being in the game and acting upon real people and objects. AI is also well developed, allowing for a good level of automation from your subjects and creature.
The only downside I've found is some small amount of graphics bugs when running this on max resolution. The water will sometimes black out when hovering at a high altitude. Other than that this is pretty awesome.
Great Sevice! June 6, 2007

great game, I highly belive on buying games when they are 1 or 2 years old, the reasom I say that is because most all developers let the game out way to early before the game is all worked out and bugs are fixed bugs which are fixed throught patches, if game developers really want to sell a good game make one with all bugs worked out, this game has not flaws that I found, well made game, fun to play. but always down load a demo before buying, thats what i have been doing for years and in all my games, i dont have any games that i regret buying.
