When playing this game, i kept thinking "Yes, this game has to be awesome..i mean, you can play god!" I was sorely mistaken. The game is boring, and badly designed. The fact you can't move out of the specific circle around your village makes destroying or converting other villages difficult, and you must figure out puzzles, that if you do one thing wrong, back to your last save. This game is hyped up to be something it isn't. Fun. sure, you can chuck rocks at villages...if you can aim them right..which is insanely hard to do, and..yeah, you have godly powers..that need you to complete a special puzzle to get.. no, this game is only for hardcore puzzle maniacs, and i definitely didn't like it. The later levels are just as bad, but employ..guess what? MORE puzzles, with a harder difficulty. this isn't so much an RPG, as a puzzle game. The creature system could be better, but isn't. You can lead your creature around, and he can even step out of that constrictive circle around your village! But...Yup...your creature can't do anything much till he grows up. At a point further into the game. The graphics are bad, textures are glitchy, and the skybox LOOKS like a box. 2 thumbs down, don't go there.

I have never played this game before, because I thought it wouldn't be that good. Your review has confirmed this for me.

I couldn't find a PC version. The only listed one was for PSX.
I assumed it was a mistake.

This review is in the wrong place as the game was only released on the PC and Mac: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_&_White_(video_game) - unless you've a leaked unreleased version...?
Advantages: Full of innovation, visually stunning, lots of character and detail, original Disadvantages: Gamplay gets dull and repetitive after novelty wears off, little in the way of structure
