Summary: Don't waste your money.
Review: Potential for a good game if they ever fix the bugs. But I have had my game two months now and no patch has been released. The developes continually promise a patch and then delay for new features. Why add new features until the game works.

Summary: Buyer Beware!
Review: Yes, the graphics are good. Yes, the AI is amazing. But no, the game is not worth the money. Why? Because the game is filled with bugs of varying degrees of severity. Some mearly slow game time down, causing you to repeat things in order to make them work. Others are disabling, such as the "creature curse bug," and cause gameplay to stop altogether. I can see how this was "a labor of love," as it is a very ambitious product. However, like many ambitious goals, this game falls far short of its ideal. These bugs would not be as much of a problem if the manufacturers were more supportive of their customers. At this date, more than two months after release, there are no downloadable patches to fix ANY of these bugs, even the major ones. Also, several items described in the users manual are not present yet... no, your villiagers cannot play soccer, despite what the box says. Miracle dispensers do not yet work... I could go on and on, but the basic message is this: Buyer Beware

Summary: The most expensive coaster I've ever bought
Review: Well, the game came out around the same time as Tribes 2 and Tribes 2 has tons of patches out already and so far Black and White has none. This game was the most rushed hunk of junk I've ever played. Save your money and buy Extreme Paintbrawl if you want something that doesn't work.

Summary: Good Idea, Poor Execution
Review: After nearly 2 years of development you would think they could have worked the bugs out before shipping. But alas, it never works that way. The game is buggy, not unplayable but definitly still in the beta phase. And to make matters worse THERE IS NO PATCH. Oh they keep saying one is coming but every time the posted date for it comes around they post that it will be anywhere from 4 more days to 2 or 3 more weeks. I didn't buy the game when it first released for just that reason. The first time i checked bwgame.com the patch was supposed to be out may 21st. Now (June 4th) they just posted that it would be another 2 or 3 weeks. This is not acceptable, Lionhead doesn't deserve this bad review but EA does, sorry Peter Molyneux.

Summary: A nice coaster until the patch comes out.
Review: I would not recommend this game. There are way to many bugs. I can't start the game unless i run it with a /NOINETCONN switch which disables internet play. I have a kick ass computer and a cable modem and i can't even play online. Wait till the patch comes out. Then buy it. Also, like people are saying, keeping people and your creature happy can be a major pain.

Summary: An inovative and addictive game.
Review: In BLack and White you are a god in a world called eden. you at first learn how to gain trust (or fear) from your people and then cast good or evil miracles to rule villages and gain power. early in the game you get a creature, which is like the mortal form of you. He can help the people or [hurt] them for you! Takes a little time to learn, but has great graphics and a is loads of fun.

Summary: Beware the customer support of this game.
Review: I'm sure you have already heard this many times, but it bears repeating. Black & White was not finished. The edition that was shipped is bug ridden and neutered. While some would simply advise you to wait until the patch is out to purchase this title, I think that misses the point. There has been a disturbing trend among gaming companies to released unfinished products. This has to stop. And we should not support these developers with our dollars.

Summary: Disappointing and Frustrating
Review: After hours of tweaking, hours with tech support (for both LionHead and my PC manufacuter), purchase of additional components, and months of waiting for a patch, I still cannot play this game. I hope to someday write a review based on the merits of the game and not the truly deplorable behavior of Electronic Arts.

Summary: Lionhead does not have any common sence
Review: Basicaly the game is good but it has not been tested properly. There are bugs that will cause it not to work with Win2K at all. I was told to contact EA for waranty Info on returning it. The Patch situation is just as bad as when ME came out. BWgame.com has very little info on patches.. basicily they are giving excuse after excuse. no real sincere apology, or indication that they will deliver a patch soon. Just empty promises.
