The lost art of games, thousands of hours I played this game and I still remember it with a warm heart :)
in this game you are basicaly GOD, I will not spoil the beautiful story for ya but you will love the way u are "born".
your first mission or "Island" is basicly an amazing training mission sort of that becomes a mission as u play through it.
u will learn tons of fun things to do and its up to u to be a good God or an evil God or something in between.
you will also get a creature :) which is really smart becuase it learn powers, tricks, actions....etc, from u. He will get bigger and bigger as u play and feed him and look after him and he is ur best defense against other gods and creatures. this creature can learn how to dance be nice to ur worshippers, or not so nice :P cause like u he can be evil or good.
anyway the game is beautiful, the villages are amazing, the music is.... wow, and the game has tons of fun and humors quests.
You will be amazed by the level of enviroment interaction.
play this game and you will forget sleep for a few weeks and not care :)
