Themes:Action, Fantasy, Comedy, Sandbox
Game modes:Single player
Story:
In the game, the player takes the role of a god called from the void (nothingness) to help those who invoked them. However, the player is not an omnipotent style god, but rather a god who rises and falls with his believers and the player must help develop their nature according to their good or evil desires. The player also has a creature, their physical representation in the world, which takes the form of an anthropomorphic ape, lion, wolf, turtle, cow, or tiger. Its physical manifestation can grow to an immense size, and adopt a good or evil persona separate of the player's. They develop their character as the player rewards or punishes their actions. In addition to the god simulation and city-building elements introduced in the original Black & White, Black & White 2 also features elements of real-time strategy gameplay, with the addition of controllable warfare and fighting units.

I don't even know if its possible to play this game anymore but I would love for it to come to gog. I remember buying this game at a CompUSA and it crashing because I had a cheap desktop at the time. I remember this game fondly and I would like for it to come to gog since Lionhead studios no longer exists.

Was too young too fully appreciate the greatness when it was released. Same as the first one. I was about 12, and just remember having fun messing around with the creature and the populations, without even understanding how it was suppose to be played. I remember wasting hours just messing around. It'd be nice to rediscover it's greatness and fully appreciate it.

Worthy successor of B&W, i reallyl iked that now it's more RTS-like while still keeping the charm of being a God simulator, played a lot, liked how your faction changes depending on your alignment, even tho i noticed it only after my land started too look like vulcanic area :D I wish i could just pay and play it vs. having to find a way to play it otherwise, i had a disc but i moved from my home country and disc is probably lost in time.

Don't want to repeat what I wrote about the first Black and White game. It took upon the innovative design and theme of the first game and build upon them. Amazing games which offer an unique theme, gameplay and experience - that should be available today too.

This was one of the first game i've enjoed when I was little and still remember till this day both unforgetable and missed as there is no game like it with its gameplay and story with the characters (Angel & Devil). I only wish the studio didn't shut down (thx EA) and hope for remakes or similar game that exist to play in the modern day.

This is a charming, funny, city building sim with great depth of gameplay for the year it was released. Raising your creature is very complex, it's so much like owning a pet. No matter what you do it's always going to act out when you're not looking and snack on the elderly or poop in your grain storage (unless you told it that was cool) so keeping up with the misbehaving snot is always a highlight of the game. I never got to beat it, and the game is deadware now! Vote!!!!vote!!!!

Be an evil, malevolent god and the natives will worship you with fear in their eyes. Play as a kind, benevolent god and they will worship you with love in their hearts. Your actions decide whether you create a heaven or hell for your worshipers. Then select a creature from the land to act as your representative in the world. Raise it to gigantic proportions and teach it to do your bidding--whether the animal grows into an evil colossus of mass destruction or a kind and gentle giant is up to you. Progress through the game's rich storyline performing powerful miracles to battle other deities and become the world's supreme god.

FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival. Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed. The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo. As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity. Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.
