Press Reviews

“A shining triumph that looks and sounds as fantastic as it plays. It makes war fun, city building easy and your social life non-existent; but let’s face it, do you really need friends when you’re God?”

“B&W2 is an exercise in streamlined gameplay: the confusing intricacies of the original have been removed entirely or completely reworked, and what you’re left with is the game Black & White should have been.”
“With this effort, there’s no doubt that Molyneux and his team have succeeded in surpassing their original efforts. Black & White 2 is a work of art, beautiful in both its stunning visuals and genius gameplay.”

“Thanks to a wealth of in-game feedback and a newfound focus, Black & White 2 is a sparkling achievement and a beautiful reminder of the distinctive delights of gaming on the PC.”
“Black & White 2 is even more unique, more playable, more endearing than its antecedent, and so full of provocative moments that you may find it difficult to tear yourself away. In other words, if you game on your PC, you owe it to yourself to play and love Black & White 2.”

“A prettier Black & White with more to do and lots more actual gaming - no bad thing.”

“All in all, there’s much more to this game than a capsule review can contain, but in the end, I like the game. It’s got the right mix of polish, fun, value, and broad appeal to make it an all around winner.”

“Black and White 2 is a super-addicting game that will take up hours of your life. The game is a blast to play and it is always interesting to see what your creature will do next. I highly recommend that you pick up a copy of this game because you will not regret it.”

“Black & White 2 will not be a game you can put down easily. Acting as a god can quickly become addicting, and then seriously time consuming. The graphics, creature mechanics, and gameplay can all add to the obsession with B&W2. Lionhead should be proud of their sequel, it is clear they have made significant improvements.”

“Not surprisingly the overall presentation and graphics are fantastic. The scale of the game is easy to appreciate at all levels, from the pregnant mothers to the massive thunderstorms. From the very first mission you’ll be won over by the charm of the game’s characters -- from your two advisors to your creature to the little people who occasionally need your help.”
