still fun, but disappointing at the same time. . .

User Rating: 8.2 | Black & White 2 PC
I've played the first Black and White and it was a game where I got into straight away because it was a type of game that ive never come across to, it just grabbed my attention at first. This is why I had alot of expectations for B&W2. First things first. The graphics were very very nice. I even spent some time zooming in and out just to admire the details put into it , from the people to the creatures and to the buildings. there are also other details such as the physcis of the buildings, how a wall wouldn't just snap into twigs when an arrow touches it . etc. etc.
It also manages to use new background sound for the game. (but i think the casting miracles sound is still the same? doesn't matter that much tho.)hte voice overs were also terriffic esp the Good side and the Evil side, the voice fitted pretty well into the characters.
I really have to say that I expected much more from this game, since the first one was so good, I thought the 2nd one would bring more suprises and shocking elements. Despite having alot more to offer compared to the first one e.g armies and better creatures, the gameplay was short and repetitive. I did get abit bored after a while . esp the bit where i had to fight the japanese brothers 3 times, and they didnt really show much of a challenge. I liked how the everythning would change depending our if your good or evil, but its only by playing those sides to extreme will you actually win the levels easily. I spent around 4 days playing..and thats way less time compared to the amount I spent on the first one..I dont think i even finished the first one since I was stuck on this really hard level...ANY WAYs

I definately found the creature improved alot more, and I loved how you can teach it to think in a certatin way. If only there were a few more new creatures to chose from > < cept for the wolf and the tiger. I also enjoyed playing the side quests. But then again I was really hoping more creative thigns would pop up in this new version and a longer gameplay. I was also in shock when I was searching high and low for a skirmish game!!:O HOW can tTHERE BE NO SKIRMISH GAME ! its pretty pointless if the game ends, and it suddenly loads you back to a random level that you've already completed . sigh.
I would recommend this to people who haven't played Black and White 1 , and for those who have, it shouldn't be too high on your "must buy list".
