Product Description

Amazon.com

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.

From the Manufacturer

From the creative mind of god game developer Peter Molyneux comes Black & White 2, the sequel to the critically acclaimed hit Black & White. In this strategy game, you reprise your role as a powerful deity in search of a following and return to the once idyllic world of Eden, where the discovery of weaponry and warfare has tainted the beautiful landscape. With the help of your gigantic Creature that you raise from infancy, 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.

The player will have many choices to make in Black & White 2. Once you and your creature have convinced the people that you are a god, you then have to decide if you are going to care for your believers, building them huge cities that are beautiful and safe, or if are you going to rule the land causing death and destruction by leading vast armies into battle.

As players enter this warring world they will have the option to make tribes coexist peacefully, encouraging villages and towns to grow into metropolises, or prompting them to inflict their will upon others by creating and commanding large armies that seek to dominate and conquer.

You have a Creature to do your bidding and train as you will, and you may rule over your people as you wish. This evolved Creature can help you nurture their communities to grow into huge, towering cities. Or you may use death, suffering, and fear. The Creature has been massively advanced since the original Black & White, and now has a vital role as a military leader and command unit. He can learn strategies, lead armies into battle, and is the ultimate battlefield weapon himself, armed with many powerful new attacking and shielding Miracles.

The epic world of Black & White is yours for the asking. But remember--if you want peace, prepare for war.

  • Wage massive wars, sieges, and battles or use your skill and power to keep the peace.
  • Discover and use new Epic Miracles, including the ground-ripping Earthquake and volcanoes, which cause rivers of lava.
  • Choose and customize the Creature that's right for you from a selection, including old favorites as the Ape, Cow, and Lion, plus many others.
  • Research and create new forms of weaponry, from swords to bows to siege machines. Build and design unique defensive gates and walls.
  • Control and marshal huge and varied armies.
  • Create and control settlements that include housing, farming, and many other buildings like fountains and lush gardens (if you're good) or stocks and guillotines (if you're evil).
  • Use multiple tools to help train and improve Creatures. As well as using sticks, whips, and feathers, players can create their own unique tools.
  • Weather systems such as rain, snow, mists, and fog.
  • Journey through 10 lands homing each of the five tribes.

Awesome despite it's flaws
It is not perfect, but this is probably the most enjoyable game I have ever played in the "God Game" genre. It has elements of Sim City and RTS strategy and puzzle solving and Role Playing, all in one seamless whole. The graphics are good even by today's standards, and because it was designed for 2006 hardware, it screams on even low end modern computers. The level of detail is impressive...zooming in far enough you can see individual insects; the moon rises and sets; there is weather and random wildlife.The main complaints I had about it were in comparison to the original. There is no sandbox mode (though an unofficial hackable one is available online), and the creature selection is limited to only 4 (unless you count the Tiger). The original Black and White had many more creatures (like the Horse and Sheep and Gorilla). Once you beat the last level, you get a sandbox of sorts, as you start the game over but get to keep all the stuff you accumulated.No, it isn't perfect. This is a great game though and is a steal at $10. I bought this game years ago and still replay it to this day.

Way back when, I played Black and White and adored the game. My only complaint about the first one was how much "babysitting" you had to do with your creature. They have totally improved the game with this one! I love how it's so much different than the first! You can actually see what your creature is thinking and you can better control what you do and don't want them to do. For example, your creature may think about pooing in the fields.. when you select your creature, you can either pet it to encourage it do poo there more often, or slap it to let him know never to do it.

Also, you aren't stuck in only two worlds, there are seven worlds for you to play through, each advancing you into more difficult gameplay, so to say. You start out in "perfect world" so you can get the gameplay and controls down. Then you go to the second world where you practice building a town and whether you want to be good, neutral, or evil. You have to either influence the surrounding towns to join you or take them by force. Then next worlds build from that, and you don't have the leave the world until you're ready.

Overall, awesome game and I adore playing it.

A fantastic game. The graphics still look very good, thanks to full day/night cycles (which you, being a god, can control!), advanced particle systems, specular highlights, advanced shadows, waving grass, and hundreds or thousands of citizens on display in full 3D at all time. Best of all, this thing runs like a dream even on old systems and laptops - it ran perfectly on Medium-High settings on my GF's laptop with a Core i3 Sandy Bridge chip and Intel HD3000 IGP on 4GB of RAM. On my Ultrabook with a Core i5 3317u and HD4000 IGP, I could max it out no problem. The Intel IGPs do have a shading glitch that causes some areas of the ground to be black at different viewing angles, but as it happens it other games as well, I know it's an Intel IGP issue, not a game issue.

Everything was shipped and arrived in amazing condition. The case,manual,cd's were beautiful. This was back in the height of cd cases and you can tell. The cd holders are easily pushed down and retrieved. The disk holder door on the inside snaps into place on one side. Very very nice cd case.

Download a no cd exe crack from gamecopyworld.com I'm on windows 10 and it works with the crack plus updates. Windows 7-10 is not compatible with the anti piracy method used with game. The no cd exe will bypass it.

I used to play this on my XP gaming system and I really loved it. When I moved out of my parent's house I didn't take my Dad's copy and I also have a Window's 10 PC now. The game won't work right out of the box on a Win10 system, but the box came with instructions for deleting a file and installing a patch and now it runs just fine. Thanks!

I tried really hard to like this game. I played it long after I knew I didn't like it. I forced myself to play through most of the main storyline. In short, gameplay is frustrating due to the fact that the controls are awful. For some asinine reason, the developers decided that keyboards are of the devil and tried to cram the entire interface onto the screen. The buttons are tiny and easy to miss, and simply scrolling across the map feels like trying to sort eggs with a sledgehammer. The AI is so dumb that you might actually win, despite the terrible controls.

The mouse controls have about as much dexterity as I do after spinning in circles for half an hour while drinking Jack Daniels whiskey. After five minutes of trying to cast a rain spell with a mouse gesture, I felt like repeatedly smashing the keyboard across my forehead until the game figured out what I wanted. Another time, I was trying to transport about a hundred people from one town to another. All went well until the game interpreted my "place object" command as "Throw all these people five hundred feet into the air and off this nearby cliff to their deaths."

At that point I just gave up and started catching people on fire and smashing buildings with gigantic rocks. Ironically enough, this was the most fun I had with this game. My favorite part was when some guy fled his burning house and was immediately flattened by a collapsing cathedral.

The best part about this game was the incredible release I felt after quitting and uninstalling it.

Maybe if other things were this easy to quit, I wouldn't have a drinking problem.

...Wait, was that out loud?

It's an older game with graphics that are still good to this day. The controls are glitchy, but it's incredibly addicting and fun. For the price, it's definitely worth it. I'd say this is better than some games out there.

Not the best game in the world, not the wors game in the world, but it's definitely a good game worth a play and a buy!
Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2011
This game was not at all what I was expecting. The building menus are poorly designed. Early in the game, when there are few buildings available, it's not a factor. Once you start upgrading, though, you have to click through long, unorganized lists to find what you're looking for. Meanwhile, things are happening you need to be paying attention to in the world. The dialogue with your conscience angel and devil are excessively long winded, and you can't skip them. If you ever restart a game, you get to listen to the same unbypassable tutorial every time. Also, on windows 7, the screen will randomly go black and shut off, requiring a reboot. Oh, and creatures are more annoying than useful.
Complete waste of time.
