Black & White (PC)

Advantages: Good graphics, good gameplay, innovative AI
Disadvantages: Not enough levels

Black & White is reffering to the way you can play this game, as Black (Evil) or White (Good) you can chop and change whenever you want. Though playing as consistently Evil is easier I would say. The graphics change according to how good or evil you are as well, skies darkening for example if you are evil, whilst the sun will shine and the birds will sing if you are good! The aim of Black & White is to win over worshippers thus allowing you to overcome ...
...a stroke of genius in Black & White is the gesture recognition system, using this you can cast spells that you have earned. To cast the spell you need to trace a symbol with your hand. Once you have traced it successfully that spell will then become active in your hand allowing you to cast it. I recommend that you let your creature watch you do this, for example: I cast miracle shower by doing the requisite movement. I then water the crops to help ... Read review

Advantages: What isnt an advantage???
Disadvantages: Does eventually become a little teidious

...brains and hard work behind Black & White defined the god sim genre years ago with the awesome game Populous. A decade of copycats later and they have returned with this piece of divine intervention. You are a god, you rule your people, proving your awesome powers with miracles and using giant creatures to carry out your will. Think Tamagotchi meets Zelda and you are starting to scratch the surface of the biggest and most ambitious PC game yet. The ...
...you can access everything in Black & White with your mouse -moving the screen around is a doddle and you just point and click to get your creature to go somewhere. And an innovative new and great spell system. First you draw out a symbol, or a simple shape that you are given when you learn a spell, and then with your mouse draw it in the air and hey presto the magic is done. You can learn all different types of spells like spiritual and good spells ... Read review

...with the computer game world. BLACK AND WHITE is the new game on the block; it’s the new GOLDENEYE (as far as popularity goes). You can also play on line! In this game you are GOD and you have to nurture and show you care for your world. You have a creature that can help you solve the problems you receive (no world is perfect) but he also has to be cared for and trained like you would any creature. I am not a huge fan of computer games, but ...
...just one village that believes in you, and a temple in which shows how you are doing. There are other, more powerful gods around. You are trained, by a “GOOD guy” and “EVIL guy”, on how to use the controls and are given a choice of creature (a cow, ape and a tiger) I chose the ape, as it is quick to learn, affectionately calling it MONKEY (yes I know monkeys aren’t apes – I’ve seen the film!!) You have tasks ... Read review

Advantages: Original | It's Peter Molyneux!
Disadvantages: Buggy

Black & White. Possibly the most hyped, ambitious and looked forward to game of all time. Well 3 years, £4m and a lot of delays later the game is here. Has the time been well spent or is it another Daikatana? Well as you can see from my rating it looks like the time has indeed paid off and we are left with one very good game. The question really should be, is it perfect? Black & White is designed by the gaming legend Peter Molyneux. He has come up ...
...They got to work with Black & White straight away and after a lot of effort and time they have made the game. You can tell its by Molyneux, it has the similarity of Populous but is also highly original. It’s like nothing that we have seen so far in a God game. ‘I hear a cry for help and I am born. It is a mother and father who are calling for me, their son is in danger in the depths of the sea and it is up to I to save him. With one swoop ... Read review

...these masterpieces from 2000 is Black and White by EA Games. Yes. EA Games. The people that bring you all of the Sports classics like NHL, NBA and Madden. Here they have branched out away from the typical Ball sport game but they have brought the Team A Vs Team B philosophy across to the game. So what is Black and White? I know its a game. Well, with the major influx of "God" simulation games that were all started with the Early 90's classic "Populous", ...
...in Age of Empires With Black and White, it was different. The concept was different. In fact, the only similar game is Rebel Assault with its tactics. Why? well in Rebel Assault you have the choice of commanding the Good troops or the Evil Troops. This concept of choosing good or evil is reflected in the game "Black and White". However in Black and White, you do not control the environment but instead train a creature to perform your tasks. This ... Read review
