It's the sort of game that comes around once every few years and totally changes the gaming landscape.

After about 15-25 hours (Depending on the gamer) the game just seems to lose it’s fun factor. Sadly, many games released nowadays don’t even have 15 hours gameplay in them, let alone 15 hours of damn fun gameplay; Black and White does indeed have this.

Black & White miraculously pulls you in and doesn't let go until you've sacrificed many hours.

El juego es extremadamente innovador, es entretenido, sin embargo, su único problema es su injusta dificultad imposible del final. Con cada nivel que pasa la dificultad aumenta exponencialmente, este último nivel esta hecho para ser LITERALMENTE IMPOSIBLE de completar, su dificultad no es alta, es completamente injusta. Te ponen requisitos absurdamente difíciles para conquistar los pueblos (necesarios para completar el juego), encima maldicen a tu criatura (prácticamente indispensable para ganar influencia y conquistar pueblos) de forma irreversible, lo que la vuelve inútil, tu influencia es extremadamente limitada y los pueblos están demasiado alejados uno de otro, lo que hace que intentar conquistarlos de forma bondadosa pueda durar varias horas fácilmente sin la criatura, para terminar de rematar esto, cada que conquistas un pueblo el enemigo te lanza lluvias de meteoritos un buen rato directas a tus pueblos, son casi imposibles de defender durante tanto tiempo, lo que hace que te destrocen todo el pueblo sin miramientos, perdiendo toda la influencia allí. Los archivos de guardado del juego funcionan de tal manera que la maldición que le ponen a la criatura en el ultimo nivel se queda en estado avanzado en cualquier partida que cargues, aunque sea de niveles anteriores, lo que hace mas rentable crear otro jugador desde el principio de la historia solo para intentar pasarte el ultimo nivel de nuevo que jugar con una criatura inútil. Tras varios años intentándomelo pasar cada cierto tiempo, no lo pude conseguir, seguramente hubiera sido mas fácil pasarme todos los dark souls sin morir ninguna vez. Vi el final en YouTube, era una porquería, al principio la historia es normalita y funciona, se desarrolla bien hasta ese ultimo nivel. En conclusión Por tanto, el juego es bueno, pero solo hasta la isla 4 (Penúltimo nivel), por nada del mundo perdáis vuestro tiempo intentando la isla 5, el resto del juego se merece un 8

Awesome concept and idea, but not enough well executed... Only fun in the early game

Innovative and refreshing god game where you have much more control over the world via your AI creature. The creature is way ahead of its time in terms of responsiveness, hoenstly much of the world is, and you really feel like you have an active hand in guiding your civilization. Battle against other gods is really fun, as is the sandbox level. Remake!!

Highly conceptual "god-game" that has you ruling over mortals with a little help from a giant cow-monster. [Feb 2003, p.94]

That was a game.. Gave you a chance to be a GOD that you want to be.. and train your animal helper to deal with problems on land :) Pity that they did not create 3rd part.

Its 2015 and i am still playing this, not often as it isn't much for the replayability but it brings back memories of me originally playing it 10+ years ago. Graphics are a little off but look at how old it is. I believe i saw a comment from 2013 complaining about that but they didnt take into the age factor. I wish Black & white 2 stayed closer to this games gameplay. I also wish there was more done of this, i haven't played another game like it and i want to. But i just have to deal with this and 2.

To play this is to love it - there is so much to do, so much to learn and so much enjoyment to be had from this that I cannot see anyone failing to like it.

The musical score is monumental in a sense and it reminds me of that theme song in "Gladiator" - the one which plays during that scene when Maximus is walking through a crop field near his home.

It's not the all-encompassing experience of godly power that was suggested. You have to play it in a fairly rigid and organised fashion.

Parts are a bit problematic, such as the combat, challenges, and village management, but most of what you experience is endlessly fascinating.

Once I made it past that initial stage of astonishment, I made an unfortunate discovery: the single-player game, as designed, just isn't much fun in the long term.

So I remeber all the hype about this game back in 2001 and years flew by and I finally decided to test this game after so many years, it's nearly 2016 now yep 15 years after the release of this game I always had that little feeling that I wanted to test this. So yea I finally did, well I don't know that to say, I can think of so many things but I will just try to keep it simple. The game looks great very nice considering it came out in 2001, the sound and music are really good and the presentation is great, almost all about the game is decent for a 2001 game. nothing can go wrong right? Well... I am not sure if the game didn't age well or the concept was just too new back in the day or if it all was just a commercial stunt. Thing is the game is great but it just lacks depth, it gets very repetitive soon and trying too keep things in order, the vilages and citizens food wood miracles your creature etc etc becomes really hard, it starts to feel more like a chore than a game. Soon I started to feel more like a maid or a slave than a god. The game and concept is really great but it was poorly executed. I have very mixed feelings about this game and I don't know if I could recommend it, I have not played B&W2 but if its slightly better than this one then get that one instead of this one. This game just feels incomplete that should have been my whole review summarized 'Incomplete game'. I will rate it a 7 just because the game is not bad even with all it's flaws. if you like these type of games then get (Jowood The Nations) it's an old game too but at least it is more balanced than this one and it makes me feel more **** than this one too.

I always loved those I am GOD games, and especially this one had so much potential and so many excellent ideas, that it was almost more fun thinking about it and about all that potential than actually playing it. I loved the concept, but I also remember that it never kept me entertained for more than a few first levels, but it's definitely one of those titles that deserves to be remembered for what it is and for what it tried to do.7/10

Every so often a game comes along that makes you stare in disbelief. This is that game for me. Maybe I'm to old but I know **** when I see it. This game reminds me of the Segway. It was supposed to revolutionize gameplay. It had the best minds behind it. Yeah, right. It's nothing but hype. The product simply fails to deliver in any category. The people who like this game are the same people who are proud to wear DKNY. How they ever got into the gaming world is beyond me.
SummaryPeter Molyneux's highly anticipated "god game," a blend of the genres including strategy, sim, RPG, and puzzle, features the player as a new god in the lands of Eden who must reign with the help of uniquely evolving animals in either a benign or evil fashion.
