The choice is yours. Play the role of a deity in a world where the surroundings are yours to shape and its people are yours to lord over. Raise a creature to gigantic proportions and teach him to do your bidding -- whether he grows into an evil colossus of mass destruction or a gentle giant is up to you. Progress through the game's rich storyline using powerful spells to battle other deities and become the world's supreme god. Black & White is a god game. Packed with strategy, it gives you control of the destiny of an entire world. You must use your godly powers to rule over and look after your people. As you do so they pray to you and worship you more and more, and you use this power, this belief to carry out Miracles and to extend your influence over the world. You must impress other tribes to get more followers, and as your zealous power base grows you are faced with innumerable challenges. The people will pray to you to help them, make them rich, harm their neighbours of simply make their lives easier. Whether you choose to listen to them or help them is up to you. In Black & White you can be the god you want to be. Will you rule with a fair hand, making life better for your people? Or will you be evil and scare them into prayer and submission? No-one can tell you which way to be. You, as a god, can play the game any way you choose. But things are never simple. You are not the only god on Eden. There are others, and they will not have the same views as you. They, too, are intent on gaining the hearts and minds, and finally the souls of the tribes, and, like you, they have Creatures capable of great works or of mass destruction. There will be war between the gods. Whether you win is down to you, your Creature and what sort of a person you really are. Black & White utilises brand-new graphics control systems, and you see the world from any angle, direction or height. It?s fully scalable, has light-sourcing and reflections, and you can even import real weather from the internet into the world. Nothing like this has ever been seen before. Finally, the game sets new standards in on-line gaming. Not only can you play with others, either co-operatively or against them, but you can take you Creature out of the single-player game and onto the web. You can also send and receive e-mail and phone text messages from within Black & White, using the all-new unified message system. And the game will even interrogate your e-mail package, import your contact names and assign them to individual tribespeople. So someone can come up to you and give you a message personally! Black & White is a genre-busting game which links resource management to strategy to combat to puzzles. We are Lionhead believe it will change the world of games forever.
