Black and White 2

Black and White 2
By The Evil Wolf-girl of DOOM

Why is it that black and white always represent evil and good? Seriously, it’s so overrated. However, the PC game called Black and White 2 is definitely NOT overrated, even if it is rather old... In this game, you play as an upstart god who rules over the Romans. The Roman Empires fell under their old god, and you set out to make this small group mighty once more. In the beginning, you have a choice to make: your creature. These creatures are giant upright- standing animals who will either be a friendly pet or a weapon of mass killing. You are able to choose a Lion, Wolf, Monkey, or a Cow. I, being myself, chose Wolf. The second time I chose Cow. You can teach your creature certain behaviors that either reflect your actions, or contradict them. Even the landscape will change depending on your alignment!
Let me warn you, goodie-goods of the gaming world- it is EXTREMELY hard to be a good alignment. Really, it is. And, plus, you don’t get to throw people into prison pits… er, yeah. In my Wolf game, I taught my creature to be benevolent, and my little wolfie got really big and its previously grey fur turned white. I was so proud! That brings us to the dark side… the evil alignment. As your giant god-hand hovers over the ground, the foliage and ground withers and splits hither revealing the hellish lava flowing below! Rawr! Er, yeah. Sorry. Also, when you choose a cow as your Evil Creature, your cute little pet becomes a huge, temperamental bull with big black horns and ridiculously large hooves. It eats people a lot. It also throws rocks at enemy platoons. How fun is that?
Alright, now to the routine rating explanation. Black and White 2 is rated T for teen, kiddies. There is nothing graphic at all, and there is only a little blood. So, I would recommend anybody from 10+ for this game. No worries!
