In defense of Black & White, which suffered from several date release push backs, which in turn raised the amount of fan generated hype to a near unbearable limit - the game just could not live up to such expectations. I consider those people who believed the creature AI would be the next best thing to sliced bread to be nothing short of naive fools - they deserve any disappointment they suffered.
I was quite pleased with B & W, still occasionally have a game. At the very least, the graphics are stunning. I do agree that the creature AI is next to pathetic, and once the illusion of it being a real, independent entity is broken, so is much of the pleasure of playing. I do not regret buying this game.
My choice of turkeys which I sincerely regret paying good money for are CTP1, Test of Time, Smac X, Creatures 2, Imperium Galactica 2.
I am glad to say that I have finally learnt my lesson. [Although it was probably Karma that I bought all those turkeys, for God knows I have indulged in hundreds of pirated games from my Commodore 64 days onwards].
