Black and White 2 sends you in slowly, but eventually you'll discover the excellent game hidden behind the tutorial.

Black and White 2 starts of with a long and boring tutorial, but thankfully it is skipable. The first island you reside actually is a little fun, as it will let you play around with the physics. Then your thrown into a crappy collection of objectives in the next, brief level. Around this time you may be thinking badly about this game, but right after that, the real experience begins. You get a small village to take care of (or not) and a few neighboring towns. You'll also notice the animal you previously picked sleeping in a nearby cage. You'll be guided on how to feed, build, raise your creature, impress, and destroy. Then, you figure out how to win. This level of immersiveness is hard to beat, as there is nothing that makes you feel better than treating your people well, or by throwing boulders at their houses.
Either way, the open ended-ness calms down a little here, and soon you'll find yourself getting more and more restricted, and you know what? It's just fine, because you'll get plenty of fun things to do. BnW2 is an excellent game, and you should at least give the demo a try.
