Darth Eggplant Posted August 14, 2003 Share Posted August 14, 2003 I was out today buying clothes, and there just happened to be a Best Buy store next to it, so I went in, they had 3 2 pak deals for games, I wish I had 60 bucks. (one set i did not have to buy, i already have them) american mcgee's alice and clive barkers undying both from EA games. the other 2 were Lucas Curse and Escape from Monkey Island, I came real close to buying them. but i settled with Black & White with it's expansion pak. *and they are working on B&W2 I saw on their site. I still have to read the mannual, it will give me something new to play. anyone have anything to say about this game? let me know, it looks cool.

KBell Posted August 14, 2003 Share Posted August 14, 2003 Great game for about 3 hours....but then the effect of throwing people and playing God kinda wairs off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoguePhotonic Posted August 14, 2003 Share Posted August 14, 2003 I got a **** load of hours out of it..it's fun teaching your animal how to throw fireballs and stuff....the only thing I didn't like was once you get to island 2 it's like you are timed...unless you act the other god will take over everything. It was also to hard to get your animal hugh...I left the game running all night while I slept and when I woke up it was not all that big, everyone was dead and there was **** EVERYWHERE! I mean all OVER the map...some places had massive piles of the stuff like he liked to take a **** there or somethin:o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldritch Posted August 15, 2003 Share Posted August 15, 2003 I had a ton of fun with it for a long, long time. I was an intensely evil god with a saint for a pet. He was a sparkly-white unicorn who I taught to grow new trees and harvest them for lumber. Despite being evil myself, I took good care of him and left him attached to the lumber area for awhile. This worked great - allowed me to focus on other things and destroy the other god(s) in the area. Until it all went horribly wrong. One day my super-good unicorn decided he'd had enough of helping the people, and decided that they'd make good snacks instead. He ate almost my entire main village before I realized what he'd done (I was focusing on turning another god's territory into my own). So my only solution was to go all 'Ike Turner' on him and beat him senseless (i'm an evil god, after all). After that I attached his leash to a rock and threw the rock as far out to sea as I could manage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breton Posted August 15, 2003 Share Posted August 15, 2003 Yeah, I have that game and it can be pretty fun sometimes. Especially when fighting other creatures in the middle of a village . Anyways, if you want to have your creature grow litterally overnight, and you still don't want it to run around causing havoc when your not looking, you can simply make it go into your temple and then trap it inside with rocks. It shouldn't be able to lift them if you take some heavy rocks. I did this once at least, and it grew quite a bit, perhaps to double height or so (it was the first map, btw). And remember: The larger your creature is, the more fun it is to kick that other guy's creature's butt (especially in the middle of a village ).

RoguePhotonic Posted August 15, 2003 Share Posted August 15, 2003 lol yeah that's funny **** in the middle of a village...with them stepping on houses. I also enjoyed beating the animal tell it was black and blue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted August 15, 2003 Share Posted August 15, 2003 Its really fun but when your super strong creture dies you kinda feel like you wasted your time. The best parts are when your creature fights other ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ET Warrior Posted August 16, 2003 Share Posted August 16, 2003 My creature never got big, and it never really learned to do anything. I couldn't even get it to eat villagers and wreck things, and I beat that poor tiger a LOT. It was just toooooo stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoguePhotonic Posted August 18, 2003 Share Posted August 18, 2003 Well the way you get them to eat anything is make them pick something up and rub their belly and they will eat it...if it's something like a piece of their own **** they will throw up....to teach them you must put them on a leash and then cast spells in front of them...you will see them point and see a percent above their head...a percent of how much they know...the more advanced the magic the harder it is to learn...like at the end of the game those badass laser bolts you can use...power factor 3 which will take out a whole town with one cast I tried teaching my pet it put it would take forever...after using it about 15 times the thing was at like 2%. One thing I hated was I didn't want to be an evil god because their is no advantages but when I wanted to just mess around and throw people around you can't just reload...everything you do stays.

Darklighter Posted August 18, 2003 Share Posted August 18, 2003 It's very...ambitious. There's is a lot in this game, and it's designed to keep people hooked for hours on end. For some, it's not as intriguing as with others. Me? I found it a huge load of fun. Typically enough for me, I was trying really hard to be good, managing to get to the third island, with my good golden ape ^^; I'm so proud. Just got to a point where I had to fight one of the opposing God's creatures, but my ape wouldn't do it o.o; After a while, I just kinda gave up, and the game started collecting dust on my shelf. Might dig it out and fire it up this afternoon, and have a go =D The "human army" feature in B&W 2 looks very impressive, can't wait to see what other stuff they're gonna include:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost Welshman Posted August 18, 2003 Share Posted August 18, 2003 It's a wicked game. Although, when you try and be a Good God it gets a bit annoying. It did for me anyway, I usually get bored and throw rocks at houses and teach my creature too, and within 5 minutes I have a huge evil, red, spikey temple. Fun though. Training your creature to do 'Megablast' takes ages, but it's wicked when he knows how. My creature forgot how to do megablast so I unistalled it and haven't played it since.

Darth Eggplant Posted August 18, 2003 Author Share Posted August 18, 2003 it is going to have to sit in my maybe future drawer because my computer is not fast enough to play it, and always gets stuck at the opening prayer for a god in the opening cinematic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
