 Better than the 1st one September 15, 2008
Everything in this game is very improved over the 1st one. The game is a ton of fun but doesn't have much lasting appeal. I found myself playing it for a couple of weeks then haven't touched it since (it's been about 3 years).
Excellent game play August 8, 2008
I've been playing B&W for seveal years now and finally purchased the second, B&W 2. I've got to say that I'm impressed with the improvements in the game all around. The graphics and story have improved and keep me very interested in the game play. The game uses most of the same mechanics and principals of B&W but has changed enough to continue making playing more of a challenge. I give this game a 9 on a scale from 1 - 10. Highly recommended, especially if you enjoy the original.
Oh look, Leader, you've earned tribute! August 6, 2008
I've thoroughly enjoyed this game since it first came out. And it can't be a bad game, if every time I buy it, someone steals it, right?!
The graphics are a huge improvement of B&W. The creatures aren't much brighter, but then, if they were, they'd be harder to train... The people are still super needy, and yes, they still whine for more housing, but then rapidly make too many more babies as soon as you build more houses, so that's still the same.
On the whole, it's just a prettier, slightly more complex version of B&W.
My only real problem seems to be getting the mouse controls confused with The Sims 2 when I switch back and forth between games... ;)
On the whole, buy it. It's a fabulous way to waste many hours of your life.
 My favorite game January 2, 2008
Ok, after reading most of the reviews here, I am frankly disgusted by how I see people whining about it. The largest complaint, the boring tutorials, I found interesting. I never look at tutorials in any game I play, but I like the tutorial in B&W2, as it gives you free tribute. Also, I play Halo, Battlefield 2, and plenty of other fast-paced games. I still love this game, even though it gets boring after a while. Also, as some seem to be complaining, "Oh, it makes my kids want to be evil," I would like to point out that if your kids can be that easily influenced by a computer game, then you should have a talk with them.
I have played almost every strategy/RTS/City-builder game that I can find, and I say decisively that B&W2 is at least #2 out of all of them. I think the game is great, and seems to resemble the soon-coming game SPORE, for those of you who know it.
In summary, this is a great game, for people who are not addicted to blood, gore and violence, but rather for people who love a challenge, and a good deal of autonomy.
Very fun and addicting December 13, 2007
This game starts out slow but once you get going you will find yourself spending hours and hours on it. It may be a bit confusing training your creature at first because some of the things it does is a mixture of good and evil and depending on how you want to be seen it can be hard to control.
Also it says you can be good or evil but after level 2 it's almost as if you have to be good because the armies are to big to just over run right from the start.
