A Christmas Let Down

I was really looking forward to this game. When I started playing I was upset with the graphics and the controls. For all the hype you would think the graphics would be a bit better. When you have to move around the screen, it's a lot of right click, left click, but only if the mouse is in the right spot to have the right symbol show up. It is hard to explain, until you see it. So since Christmas day, my game has been in it's box not being played. If you really want this game, go see a friend who has it first.

Black & Buy It !

This is the funnest game i've ever played. The graphics are OK, but once you got into it you wont care. I've been playing it for the last two days staight. I took off one star for these people who tell how to do things, but they dont do it for long.
(I took off one star and I still like it more than five stars.

Dull, boring, slow, ignorent people.

Hi, I just got B&W for Christmas from my parents and it's a great game, the graphics are incredible and I don't find managing the villagers very difficult. Yes, a great game....

This game rules!

This game is astonishing not only to look at, but to play as well. The gameplay is a little off, otherwise giving it a Five-Star rating, but the rest is soon to be history. I am an avid gamer with many interests in different genres, but this is one of the most remarkable of them all. In this sims-esque type of game, you have several creatures to choose from and a few towns for it to take care of. You can punish the people and have them give human sacrifices in your sake, or you can be a gentle god and provide and prosper for them. Once you get into it, you really can't stop. Now there is just one thing I need to get off of my chest, and that is negative reviews of this game. Now all opinions I respect, but for some people, this just isn't their kind of game. Just take David Smith for instance. He absolutely loathes the gameplay, and that's fine, but you can tell that this is just not his kind of game. He says that he's played nearly every type of game and like all of them, but does he like sim games? No. Is he the kind of person that would waste an entire weekend playing The Sims? No! This game just isn't for some people, but people should know their interests before they buy ANY game at all. If all of David's negatory was sparked just because David could't navigate the game, then you can bet that he doesn't like the controls for Vigilante 8, either. You should always research anything you buy, whether it be a Dreamcast game, or a new toaster, it doesn't matter! You need to find out before you buy. No offense to you, Dave, but just check stuff out before you waste money on things you don't need or like. I believe that this game is for all the sims lovers and beyond, and I hope that if you don't think this game doesn't sound the most intriguing to you, that you don't buy it, but it is completely up to you.

Insomnia is a must for those who play B&W....

I looked at other reveiws where gamers said "Ouch my wrist hurts" and "Such bad cameras and movement". I mastered the keyboard w/mouse option scrolling in 6 minutes (3 minutes were spent getting a soda). Ctrl+up,left,right,down arrow spins/zooms. Shft+up,left,right,down arrow pitchs the screen. Where in the name of heck is the trouble in this? They are right slightly though, because my wrist did hurt after 63 straight hours of gameplay. I taught my monkey to poop near trees, to feed himself, get drinks, be nice and playful. If I could only teach my son this easily (without the backhands of course). Occasionally I would "lag" while playing which can get semi-frustrating if your in the middle of rubbing your creature and accidently smack him around. At the peak of my frustration I would snatch a rock into my godly hand and fling it into a cluster of houses, problem solved as I watch real-time damage being caused. Although Im very sadly disappointed I can't connect and play on the internet for some reason. That WILL be fixed and im sure I would play this game untill the CD's front art is faded. Get it, take your vaction week off work, ship the kids off to camp, and have a blast.

The Game of the Year for 2001

When I first saw this game in a magazine almost three years ago, I was hooked. True, the waiting for this game was too long as Lionhead delayed the game about three times, but it was worth it. This game combines many popular genres and is appealing to many audiences. The gameplay is first of it's kind and probably will never be matched. The creature and town people's intelligence is beyond Half-life remarkable A.I., which is quite a feat. Kudos to Lionhead for making this game and I will cast any vote for this game to be game of the year for any year.

I..... AM...... GOD!!!!

When I heard about this game i immediatly got curious and waited in anticipation for the final release, I read every article and downloaded any and all video clips i could find on it so i could learn more. Now that I have it I love it and can't stay away from the computer. Now,YOU HAVE TWO OPTIONS! MOUSE OR KEYBOARD, or a combination of both. It only took me about 20 minutes to get adjusted to it. after that it was smooth sailing. I have a Pentium III 700mhz and it ran well enough although the autosave was a bit slow at times but that was it. The tutorial at the beginning is informative but it would've been nice to turn it off afterwards. The game itself is awesome, the graphics are the best i've seen, and the creature AI is excellent. I left my creature alone for about 5 minutes and when i came back my entire town was in flames! The creature can learn on it's own or you can teach it yourself. Want to teach it a spell, cast it either on or beside him, eat livestock, or eat live humans it's all up to you if you want it to be evil or be nice or a little of both. You can notice the physical changes of your creature through the way you bring him up. and with every year that passes it grows a little more untill it about the size of a mountain, although there are a couple spells that make that happen automatically for a short period of time. There so much you can do you don't necessarily have to finish the game either just roam about creating havoc with other villages, fight other monsters, and teach new creatures. There's lots of gaming here if you put the time into it unlike some people who played this game.
