If you're interested in learning about stuff not covered in the tutorials, though, then we're happy to present GameSpot's Game Guide to Black & White 2. That said, if you played the first one, you'll feel right at home with Black & White 2, and if you didn't play the first one, then you should feel equally comfortable with the game it's very accessible and has a lengthy set of tutorial missions to get you started. Your creature is a bit easier to train this time around, there's a more straightforward, story-based plot, and the combat system involves a bit more of an RTS influence. Now, over four years later, Black & White 2 has finally arrived, and it has some significant changes from the first game. Melding god games, city-building, and a virtual pet simulator, it had a unique blend of cerebral strategy and moral dilemmas, as you were asked to choose between being either a benevolent god that helped its beloved population achieve their goals, or an evil god that existed merely to extract servitude through fear and pain.

Black & White was a very ambitious game when it hit shelves way back in 2001.
