This is a fun game. The graphics are gorgeous and the play is mostly excellent. It is very hard to get some of the gestures down, and while it’s cute to have a game where you cast spells by drawing patterns in the air with your mouse, getting them done is really fussy. It would be better to just press a key.
The only extremely irritating thing about the game is that it completely takes over your system. You cannot switch out of it to read mail, check messages, look at a web site, and so on. You have to completely quit the game. This is especially irritating as it takes close to a full minute for it to start up (it has to show you all the animated logos for all the people who worked on it, even the ones who polished the CD), but it takes 30 seconds or more for the darned thing to quit. So while it’s is a splendid time and very droll, it was done by people who’ve obviously never heard of the Internet. I docked it a full star for that.

so yeah, some of my friends were talking about how fantastic this game is, so I got it. apparently my friends are not very smart or they are pathalogical liars. basically, my main beef with the game is, if you’re god — why all the rules and restrictions? people tell YOU what to do, not the other way around. you have a small god and a small devil guy telling you what to do all the time and you have to feed and keep up what amounts to a really stupid pet. your villagers have no thought how to build anything, you have to do all of that yourself. it’s basically just a approach game where you have to defeat rival “gods” and listen to 2 stupid cartoon characters tell you what to do all the time.

It crashes constantly and I got so bored and frustrated with it that I bunged playing before winning.

If you are running OS X and have an Nvidia Geforce 4 MX card do not install this game. After installing this game I noticed pixel artifacts all over my desktop, shape owing to everything. I have a dual 1ghz G4 system. I am not sure if it is specific to this system configuration or not, but Apple Card has lessened the conundrum down to this. Anway, a word of warning. Don’t install this unless you dont have a conundrum reinstalling OS X.

B&W sells itself as a new type of game. The main thrust appears to be that you are a God faced with challenges, and your decisions affect whether you are excellent or evil. The game appears this way at first. The controls are a bit hard to master, and it took me about an hour or two to figure out how to go around using the “playground” tutorial. The first level was filled with nice challenges and fascinating quests. But, soon after arriving on the second level, and still in the tutorial phase of the game, I made a stark discovery. While I was still learning aspects of the game, I came under attack and was utterly trounced. Only then did I realize that this is just another real-time approach game, where you have to take resources, build an economy, and develop weapons to defeat your enemies. If you don’t figure out the right way, you lose. There’s really not much room for creativity, or not nearly as much as the marketing would have you believe. The creatures are cute, but in reality they are just another cog in your struggle with rival gods. Despite its many innovations, it really is just a souped up version of the ancient Populous game, where two rival gods duke it out using people as a pawn. Had I known this early on, I probably would have taken a pass.
