When I heard that Lionhaed studios was makeing a sequel to black and white i was excited. And i have to admit that it was worth the wait. But it did not live up to the great game I had wanted. Dont get me wrong black and white 2 is a good game. The problem with this game is the stance at which it takes. It stands as a god game like the first and a rts like starcraft. this gives it a more mainstream audeince, but doesnt live up to people who liked first one.
The games graphics are great. For the size and scope of the game they are awsome. One second you make be looking at the entire island, the snow covered moutains, the blue sea, and the huge cities. And witha flick of the mouse wheel you are looking at each indivdual blade of grass.
All in all this game rocks.
