It looks and sounds stunning, and its combination of gameplay elements and game mechanics is completely unique. The wonderfully addictive gameplay, and small touches such as the ability to publish the stats of your creature on a webpage, make this game a must-buy for any gamer who even remotely likes RTS games. From the villages to the miracles to the land of Eden - it's eye candy like you've never seen before. Understanding the mechanics of this title is just about as difficult as trying to decipher women's obsession with shoes. It's the Matrix of gaming in the sense that we have seen these ideas before, but never with so much style, and never in one game.
Creature fights in towns look like one of the better Japanese monster movies.
This game has met and surpassed every expectation I had for it. I'd be playing right now if I weren't writing this review. Yes it is amazing, but there is more than too much to do. Black and White is truly a game worthy of the 21st century flaunting stunning graphics, breakthrough AI and unprecedented cohesion of the RPG, RTS, and Adventure genres. Sell your soul to the devil, do whatever it takes to get this game.
