Black & White 2

play good, play bad, play god



The sequel to the critically acclaimed hit Black & White.  

In this strategy game, you reprise your role as a powerful deity in search of a following and return to the once idyllic world of Eden, where the discovery of weaponry and warfare has tainted the beautiful landscape.  With the help of your gigantic Creature that you raise from infancy, you must earn the respect and worship of the natives.  How you choose to do that,, whether through nurturing them or terrorizing them is up to you.

Once there were many gods - all depending on the worship of humans to survive.  As their following increased, they grew in strength, and as their battle for control intensified, destruction became second nature to the people of Eden.  This was chronicled in the past and has since passed into legend. But after the devastation came peace.  Without hardship, people stopped needing gods and the gods simply disappeared.  And without gods, life continued.

While you've slumbered, the path to evil has become even more enticing.  Warriors have been born, ever more fearsome weaponry has been developed, and the once idyllic land of Eden is teetering on the brink.  The Greek people - your people - form the final barrier to total Aztec domination. Now a simple, desperate prayer has brought you back and you must follow your conscience once more.  Will you establish secure and majestic environments that will become the envy of peoples across the land or will your cities become evil citadels of aggression with the sole purpose of supporting your war machine?  Will you devote all your powers to enriching your people's lives or will you watch as they march to their deaths?  This time it really matters,
