Posted October 2, 2005 Only 5 days until its release. From what I've seen and heard it looks great. Black & White was always good but they seem to have added alot of new aspects to it. Raising an army for one, instead of just letting humans pray and build etc. Video. Creatures are much improved graphicaly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 2, 2005 This is on my most wanted for Xmas list! Can't wait to get it. IGN seemed to think that it was like half god sim and a city simulator. My perfect game!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 2, 2005 I personally thought the first one was over rated and tediously boring. I'm holding out on this one till otherwise proven wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 2, 2005 The first one was boring, simple as. Infact, it came out on my birthday last time around. April 6th. It got 8.8 on IGN if anyone was wondering. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 2, 2005 I loved the firs one nad I have started it again and again and agina, but I've never got past world 4. I got to he very end, them my computer blacked out. ¬_¬ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 2, 2005 (edited) I I I Me Me Me! I really want a wolf this time around - though Im a bit disappointed to see they replaced the wonderful tiger with a lion. My first tiger was so stupid he ate all the bushes near the tree he was tied to and became monstrously fat. Fantastic! I just hope my PC can handle it.

Posted October 2, 2005 Why the hell do you own a GeForce FX? :P A Game and Watch could probably produce better graphics. Nice to see my rig will probably run it on max, as per usual Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 2, 2005 I personaly loved the original. My only problem was not being able to get online on it. Creature Isle was good too. What I don't like the look of on 2 is the Evil concience. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 2, 2005 It only got 76% in PC Gamer. I may get it sometime but i wasn't that impressed with the first one, overated IMO. Other scores of note in PCG F.E.A.R 89% Dawn of War:Winter Assault 79% Fifa 2006 83% Fable Lost Chapters 88% probably getting this Blitzgrieg II 79% Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 2, 2005 F.E.A.R = good review. Great Demo Winter Assualt = Yeah, about right. I've enjoyed it. Not a good expansion in terms of units though. Fable = hell yes, incredible game and a great port. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 3, 2005 Fable: The Lost Chapters is my favourite game of the year so far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 3, 2005 Im getting the collectors edition so I can get the Tiger. I have to wait a week longer and pay a little more but I dont care 'cause I loved my Tiger in the 1st one. He looked after my villages while I destroyed enemy villages. Best set up. To anyone who never played the 1st and is getting this one dont choose the ape. He sucks. EDIT: The collectors edition is coming out on the same day as regular version now. £34.99 on play.com EDIT 2: regular used to say regulat :no: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 3, 2005 I think I'll take the Lion since it's probably just going to be the same as the tiger. Until now I thought all the creature AI's were the same. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 3, 2005 I want the cow, I love cows ^_^ I had a cow in the last game, even though it was WAY worse than than the chimp, and I'll be picking him up in this version aswell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 3, 2005 Im getting the collectors edition so I can get the Tiger. I didn't even realise there was a collector's edition coming out (when I order my copy of the game only the regular version was listed), so I've just cancelled my pre-order of the regular version and pre-ordered the collector's edition instead. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 3, 2005 I liked the first one, it was fun, but I never completed it becouse I thought it got boring after awhile. It looks nice graphically, but I think the interface looks too much Windows 95, bleh :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 3, 2005 (edited) Why the hell do you own a GeForce FX? :P A Game and Watch could probably produce better graphics. Nice to see my rig will probably run it on max, as per usual Probably because its the best you can get in a PCI slot :P Do you really think I would have it out of choice? What I don't like the look of on 2 is the Evil concience. Really? He looks the same to me as he did in B&W. Same little man boobs and all I didnt know about the collectors ed either...Sweet! I loved my (second) Tiger; he was, in his own words, "Decent and True". He was well trained and would go around feeding the villagers, getting trees for lumber and teaching the town to dance. Sadly though at one point I made him pick up a rock and run back and forth across the Island (it builds up their muscle) for five days...and when he finally stopped he dropped dead. I felt pretty guilty for about two minutes. Im pretty torn between a Wolf and my beloved Tiger...although the more I look at that Cow the more adorable I think it is. Damn, its hard to be a God. ________ Mercedes-Benz C216 Edited February 16, 2011 by Johelian Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 3, 2005 Get the cow! The cow is by far the best, look into his eyes and say no. You can't, FACT! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 3, 2005 (edited) I watched the video at http://www.lionhead.com/bw2 , and the little snippet of the cow is so sweet - it rubs its little belly and looks all happy with itself. Aww! But I feel the pull of loyalty to the tiger and my favourite animal, the wolf...Hmm. We'll see. ________ Stress Forums Edited February 16, 2011 by Johelian Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks. No problem. As we seem to be on the topic of black & white 2 who wants to set up a clan or something. I've never done it before and thought I'd give it a go. If interested list possible names. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 4, 2005 I think the word clan isn't the right word really.We should have more of a community were we meet with our gods and teach each other spells etc. LIke the Jedi Academy run by some guy who taught people moves using Jedi Knight 3. Of course we should also have battles too :wink: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
