    Black&White - The Game

    Have you heard about it?

    I've just read about it in the paper.
    It sounds amazing.

    It is a creation of Peter Molini.

    In this game you play the one and only god. Your goal is to get as much believers as possible. You have several animals who, like angels, help you accomplishing duties. You have two advisors, a good one and an evil one. The good will mostly say that you should treat your believers nicely so they're birthrate will grow, the evil one will say the you need to treat them firmly so that they won't get spoiled and lazy. Your goal is two balance ofcourse.
    There are other gods in this world, your goal is to have more believers than they do. You can also go to war with the gods, by telling your animal helpers to attack their helpers. The people do not fight, they just accept the god that wins (a message to society from Molini? ).
    It also has some humorous aspects, like that your animals sometimes dance in a cute manner.
    The interface is very simple, you are a hand. No buttons, no trays, nothing. Just a hand, different movements by the hand, make different things. For example, if you move the hand with great speed over your animal, it will be a spank, but if you firmly move it on his back, it will be a pat.

          Yes, I can understand that now, but please, doesn't anybody has anything else to say?

                Yes, I've seen it, and yes, it's going to be awwwwwwwwwwesome!

                I can't wait. It just seems to be so many different games packed into one that it's hard to get my head around. It just sounds so good. It'll all depend on the balance of course, but I haven't heard a bad word about it yet.

                  Black & White certainly makes the Civ genre look rather dated. This is innovation at it's best.

                  Oh, by the way Taurus, the genius behind the game is Peter Molyneux, not Molini...

                      I read the stuff on the link and it looks like a cool game. How many animals are there total? Anyone know?

                        I think the first animals you can pick are a tiger, a monkey or a cow. But later in the game, I think you can also pick others.

                            How come?

                            Did you already have a topic about this game?

                            I don't visit "Other games" at all, just now. So if you did have this topic, sorry.
