Who, if we are being honest, hasn't wanted to be a god now and
again, if only for a little while? Black & White 2: Battle of the
Gods once again makes you into a nameless god whose very
existence depends upon having devoted worshippers. Predictably,
Black & White 2 picks up after the events of the original Black &
White. Just when you thought you had gotten Eden under control,
the Aztecs raise a new undead god through huge numbers of human
sacrifices, complete with an army of undead skeletons and an
undead new creature to lead them.
There are two new creatures to choose from, which brings the
total number of creature options to six. View larger

. As before, you must crush this rival god on various isles by
nurturing your followers and building a flourishing civilization
that lets you either convince the Aztec god's followers to defect
to your side, or allows you to take them over militarily.
The core gameplay in this expansion remains pretty much
unchanged from Black & White 2, though you do get a few new
islands to battle it out on, some of which are actually huge when
compared to those seen in the original. If you still have any old
games saved, you can actually import your creature from Black &
White 2. But don't fret if you either didn't play or didn't keep
any old games on your hard-drive, as this expansion lets both old
and new players hit the ground running. First, you select a
starting package that is either good or evil, which will give you
a variety of miracles and bonuses. You can also elect to start
off as neutral and fine-tune your own starting package if you
know specifically what kinds of things you want. There are two
new creatures to choose from as well, which bring the total
number of creature options to six. Whether you import an existing
creature or start anew, you'll begin Battle of the Gods with a
ton of tribute points that allow you to purchase the buildings
and powers you will start with.
It is easy to improve the cities of your followers, as virtually
the whole game can be played without messing with the keyboard.
The mouse allows you to do pretty much everything, from laying
out cities to picking up and dropping citizens around the .
The Battle of the Gods expansion includes a handful of new
buildings that add a few more options, such as a
blacksmith that can upgrade your soldiers and hospitals, letting
you save the manna you would normally spend on healing for use on
other miracles. The mouse also allows you to punish or reward
your creature for its behavior at the click of a button, so you
can quickly train it to do what you want, from fertilizing fields
with its manure to knocking down enemy walls.
It's possible in Black & White 2: Battle of the Gods to simply
assimilate your enemies' followers peacefully by building a city
of such grandeur that they want to defect. However, the sheer
size of some of these s can make this a long and drawn-out
process, since you would require such a huge and impressive city.
And besides, who really wants to be a completely peaceful and
benevolent god? Instead you send your creature into the fray to
defeat the enemy god's undead creature and crush the Aztec
armies, thereby letting loose the platoons you have been building
in order to seize and capture defenseless Aztec towns.
One other change is the addition of more mini-game challenges
that you can pursue for additional tribute points, and which let
you unlock new buildings and powers. These challenges provide
short diversions from the main focus of the game, as you solve
puzzles, participate in ice curling, target practice on zombies
with lightning bolts, and more. Whether you pursue a peaceful or
militaristic approach, you'll find that it'll take you hours of
enjoyable gameplay to get through each , and, especially for
those of you who already loved the unique world and gameplay of
Black & White 2, that is all that need be said.
