I admit that this game is a lot better than the original B&W in some ways but in most, this game disappoints. By adding the advanced city building element your open up more ways to play and now you can even recruit swordsman, archers, and catapults to fight for you. You also have AWESOME epic miracles that you can unleash anywhere on the map but your enemy's influence rings. Those are about the only good things about this game. Because you no longer have the skirmish mode, which I thought would be reinstated in B&W2, you lose a lot of open-end playability. You also only have 5 basic miracles to use (The meteor miracle isn't included because it is so destructive, it can't be labeled basic). Your creature is now something from the "Sims" where YOU must constantly make him sleep and eat because he will rarely do these on his own. The story mode is so linear it is NOT even funny, its you take over the land by force or by influence. No matter which one you choose the outcome is the EXACT SAME THING! Lionhead Std. were trying to make a "Total War" type game and for the most part accomplished that, but in doing so they lost their original game premise.
