  • I loved these games as a kid! Wish they made a 3rd one.

  • Can you install it without disc 1 (my brother lost it) if not do you know where I can buy it

  • @Nikkilol1111 you can't install the game without disc one but you can download it from here isohunt.com

    however this is illegal but in your case not many people should frown upon it

  • Thanks

    

  • What's the name of the other game he mencioned in the review??? Faera or something like that... Please answer me asap

  • @codrin94 Pharaoh, it's a city building game by sierra. kinda old but still realy good as the city building genre goes.

  • well that tutorial guy is very annoying

  • i think i get this game just to have war with other places and take over >=D

  • What's wrong with Pharaoh....

  • STEVE BUTTS is the reviewer's name? Poor him

  • @ElWazaVlogs How is BUTTS an embarrassing second name?

  • Found this game quite boring.

    I liked the original better.

  • bought this gametoday- looking foward to hours of gameplay.

  • B&W>B&W2

  • Looks gay

  • Is there like freebuild for this? I loved the game, but maybe i want to just chill and make my people happy (or miserable) with no outside interferance.

  • I can't even do battle of the gods =P

  • IGN used to be really f**kin cool, I must say.

  • ...hard...to be evil....? I TRIED to be good and I wasnt able to O_o Was where YOU doing?!

  • I am looking for a really good game where you can be god... this does not look like it...

  • This game looks great except for the ridiculous looking creatures. Couldn't they look a bit more threatening.

  • @FatfighterXD1 lol, your creature can be good or evil, and they look threatening when their evil

  • Is That dude named Steve Butts?

  • The very annoying this is that, I'm incredibly good at making perfect cities, but I can't make them without winning the land in about 15-20 minutes, I had to go on the date files and lower the impressiveness of all the buildings, just so I can actually have a proper city.

  • I love the game , i like building , alot freedom for building :) , and i like being able to drop rocks on buildings aswell like in Bnw 1

  • The start with huge armies was Epic .. Now its a boring building game. I like the creature feature but getting the tasks like .. Destroy all forests is boring .. ANNO is in my opinion far better citybuilding game with lots of things too doo

  • they should make the next B&W the gameplay more like B&W 1 but add the landscaping features of from dust! (that game is boring, only the landscaping is cool)

  • B&W2 sucks. B&W1 is epic.

  • Been playing this a lot recently, it has become pretty addictive. I'm trying to not be evil on it.... it's pretty hard to stay good haha.

  • If you want black and white 2 for free, go to my channel and watch the tutorial on how to install it titled "Black and White 2 is here!". uploaded by me, VIRUS free and trusted!

  • Love this game !!

  • Screw the Fable series, i want Black and White 3! Just imagine it with current tech.

  • I'm thinking of buying this game with the expansion pack online, and I have a few questions, and I can't seem to find the answers ( by googling, of course ^^ )

    How good a computer do you need to run this game? Like available hard drive space, RAM, and stuff like that.

    and can you run it on Windows 7?

    Reply will be MOST appreciated :)

  • @MrDravde Could always test it on your pc by downloading the demo from lionhead's website. (Wouldn't trust a third party website)

  • @xiXequinoxXix I'm gonna buy it from a tried and trusted website that I've used a few times before, but I:) I'll try the demo first, as you said.

    Also, thanks for the quick response! :)

  • @MrDravde

    What's this website called that you buy it from? I really want to get this game as well.

  • @fikle Imma buy it from Amazon.co.uk for about 10 bucks ^^

  • @MrDravde well, this does run on windows 7, thats 1. and 2: if u wanna run this game, make sure that u can also run games like Dark Messiah of Might and Magic, Star Wars Republic Commando and/or Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle-Earth 2. if u can run those games, you should be just fine^^

  • @tfl1997 ok. I've downloaded the demo, and that runs fine, but do the demo and the full game have the same system requirements?

  • @MrDravde yeah, pretty much. the only difference is that the full game is larger. but the requirements are the same. if u can run the demo on full graphics it should be absolutely no problem^^

  • @tfl1997 ok. thanks for your help! :D

  • @MrDravde np^^ one tip: if ur trying to be good, only build cities. if u need defence, put archers on ur walls, u wont become evil. also, be careful when enemies have wonders. they will most likeley put the epic miracle (lvl after the 1st japanese has tornado, lvl after that has earthquake and last lvl has volcano) as close to your influence as possible. so try to buy wonders from your tribute ASAP, cz they give u huge influence. while keeping ur ppls pleased ofc^^ if u need more help lemme know

  • @tfl1997 Thanks for the help! :D

    I didn't know that about the archers and that they don't make you evil, that'll help a lot, I I'll be sure to let you know if there's anything. I've played through this game once a few years ago, but I lost the disk(shame on me), and I have a question: does any of the enemies use the Siren wonder?

  • @MrDravde well, the first japanese lvl has the siren wonder, but they dont rlly use it. ever. so rest assured, the only one thats gnna use the siren epic in the entire game will b you^^

  • @tfl1997 akei. another question I came up with: can I buy my creature like lightning and fire miracles, or will his actions affect my... evil/goodness?

  • @MrDravde yes u can buy ur creature miracles from tribute. thats how he becomes more powerful and he can do more for you. and when he does things, it won't affect your own evil/goodness, but his own. for example: if hes killing soldiers outside ur influence, u see like evil, evil, evil rising up. this is his own evilness. so he doesnt affect your alignment. but do make sure that he does the right things. i told him once that its good to eat ppls and he ate my entire villageXD so careful wit that

  • @tfl1997 ok, well, now I guess I hust have to buy the game and I'll be ready to go! :D

  • I loved the first B&W. Wish I had gotten my hands on this.

  • "A game for non-gamers." No wonder they fucking released the Black and White 2 + Battle of the Gods combo as a Mac exclusive.

  • Love this game

    There needs to be a third one on PC or just think how awesome it could be if done right with kinect!

    Your hand could be THE hand lol :D

  • hi everyone, i have an intel hd graphics with core i5 process and 6GB ram @ 3.2Ghz. is that good enough to play this game?

  • @bhutto987 If it is a integrated sandy bridge gpu then i guess.

    But since B&W2 does not have support for future gpus (since the best one on its list is a X1900) so you have to manually change the txt file so you can enable all graphic settings (or those that your gpu can do)

    But seriosly just buy a 4870 with 30€ or something and have fun with it with 120fps.

  • The Yogscast has better reviews. :D

  • Fuck Fable, drop that shit and make B&W3

  • @ryanmorawski they dont have license

  • @ryanmorawski YES!!!!

  • @ryanmorawski Fuck B&W3 give us Dungeon Keeper 3!

  • Who loved throwing your animal's poop?

  • @FedoraTheDude i actually grabbed the poop, smeared it across my body, used the poo as lube for masturbation then fucked my self in the ass with the poop and ate it. 

  • @ZionistCensorship Well spoken, sir. You have my thumbs up.

  • @ZionistCensorship I never come across that cheat........

  • @jamieelynnx oh wait i did this in real life

  • @ZionistCensorship intense bro

  • to be fair i think black and white 2 is better than one just because you can build an army even kno i want black and white 2 to have skimish games in them. also i want them to make a black and white 3

  • I really do love IGN's older reviews. They need to re watch them, and learn something from it.

  • I love Black & White 1 much more... It makes you feel more like God than Mayor. Plus the creature training is way more in depth in the first game.

  • @redtroop909 yes, it is beautiful.

  • when i move my hand over buildings it doesnt display the details can someone help me out? like when i move it over storehouse it doesnt say how much wood, ore, and grain are there

  • @agodzadza95 Try knocking on the building. You knock by klicking on the roof of the building.

    I don't if that works... but try. //Ami.

  • i need silver scrolls!

  • @chuncy thanks

  • B&W for kinect would be good.

  • i agree with this review to some extent, one thing though....its easier to be evil!? really?!

    i must've sucked at number 1 because i couldnt help being evil, my tower constantly went red, and the tower's were legs raised in the air

  • @chuncy where did you get it?

  • THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST GAMES EVER ign is the shit this game i ben playin it since it came out love it on new computer

  • I was dissapionted by this game.

    Really, you aren't any mre god like than any other stratergy game.

  • whats better black and white 1 or 2?

  • @Bren329 Black and White 1 = hardest, funniest. 2 = good graphics, nice buildings and well.. fun with the way. But very easy!!

  • Is it still possible to get this game? It looks really good.

  • @randomscary yes i just got the collectors edition on sunday

  • @randomscary yea, just get it from piratebay, i did earlier today, but if you have no pirate skills then don't bother even though its very easy to set up

  • I like how they made his last name, Butts, bold.

  • Anyone know where I can download this game? I looked all over the net for this game and nothing. I don't want it to be shipped to my house.

    I want to download it or buy it from the store.. Anyone knows???/

  • can this be played on vista?

  • I never use the hand to move around the map, I use the arrow keys.

  • STEVE BUTTS <3

  • is this just for PC?

  • @Jazeanano Yeah, just PC, and its a great game!

  • @GotsItGoinOn thanks :)

  • black and white 1 is sooo much better

  • how do i get this game?

  • Thank god i get this game wedsday.... I am going to be the next Ceasar. i hope lol

  • @statetemplers9 i recommend this game it was my #1 most fave game when i was younger and its still fun to me :D

  • Wow that was the nicest review I have ever seen from IGN.......Something has happened since then.

  • I wish they would make part 3. I don't think from dust will be it.... It looks like its close to the same thing but you don't really get to build your cities or anything as far as I know. I wish they would just make part 3 for this.

  • PLZ GIVE US B&W 3

  • There are no plans to make a black & white 3 is there?

  • @thefalloutkid13 PM said that he might if he has time between Fable but no actual details.

  • this is the one thing that i hate about reviewers.. Be better at talking. The guy's speechcraft skill is so low, that you make the game look bad...Now TotalBiscuit... learn from him. He is good.

  • IGN has been making better reviews in the old days, now they are unobjective, and simply pathetic.

  • @MisterAAnderson I'm not one to comment on poor spelling or grammar, but motherfucking hell. Unless English is not your first language you're a fucking retard. "Has been making"? Really? But my favorite is "unobjective". IT'S NOT EVEN A FUCKING WORD.

  • @AftComet How nice of you. Try live in a country where english isn't spoken every day and say that again. You aren't helping either if you ask me.

  • @MisterAAnderson Hence why I said, "UNLESS ENGLISH IS NOT YOUR FIRST LANGUAGE".

    Don't use it if you can't use it properly.

  • @AftComet Hey i'm learning don't be mean. Besides I doubt arguing with me improves your life experience anyway.

  • @MisterAAnderson It's supposed to improve yours.

  • @AftComet If you were really trying to "improve his life experience" then why not point out the error in a positive manner? Rather than spewing out curse words and typing in caps. Internet etiquette 101.

  • @xiXequinoxXix If you had any sense you'd know the internet has no etiquette.

  • @AftComet So instead of responding to the bulk of my comment, you say I have no sense because of the last 3 words. You've just shown that you have no sense because you can't even carry out a conversation.

    I will not be responding to your further replies because you are obviously a fail troll on youtube.

  • @xiXequinoxXix LOL 101 is a number, not a word.

  • @MisterAAnderson You can't spell ignorant without IGN.

  • @Hamham300 heh

  • @MisterAAnderson unobjective? You mean subjective.. =)

  • @spectrre Yes, yes thanks :P I posted this a long time ago... But All I wanted to say is that the reviewers of today tend to make some blank and absolutely disinterested reviews. A review should be like a commentary in my opinion, like in the movie industry. Where the author also expresses he's feelings, likes and dislikes and maybe even use imagination to make it sweeter. But let's hope it goes for the better.

  • @MisterAAnderson Well now you're just completely fucking this up... You first go on to say that they're subjective and that that's a bad thing. Now you're telling me that they're being too objective and they should be more subjective... ? Make up your mind buddy. I understand English isn't your first language, it's not mine either. But this is getting crazy.

    But I do think that they've progressed properly. Sure a bit of a opinion from them is good. But reviews should be objective.

  • @spectrre No, no don't get me wrong. This is crucial info in understanding what it is, but a little commentary wouldn't hurt to bring a little emotions into them reviews.

  • they should make black and white 3 on kinect

  • @SedinWrestled2Bears fuck kinect disgrace to gaming

  • @sawu101

    Peter Molyneux actually said he planned to do it for kinect =) sorry

  • does any body know when black and white 3 is coming out hope it will be online that will be cool like 2vs2 that will be so cool like one god focuses on the army and a nother one foucses city building that would be so cool or just 1vs1 or 4vs4 or 3vs3 and they make like 20 lands on single player AGAIN!!! DOES ANYBODY KNOW WHEN BLACK AND WHITE 3 IS COMING OUT!!

  • @Gamerdice No,now stfu

  • @Gamerdice It's not, as far as anyone knows.

    Developers didn't get enough money in Black And White 2, so they moved onto other games and are making 2s, 3s of those because they're the big money-makers.

  • HAHEHAHAHEHEH built steve butts a home

  • @benjiyang12 I wrote a guide for B&W on Gamefaqs - B&W 1 is a great game; I suggest you check it out if you haven't already. Make sure you get the 1.1 patch. Hang off on the expansion until you try/beat the original.\

  • Okay so ive never played either of the black and white games but i want to try one of them out because i am a big fan of the fable series and lionhead studios.Any suggestions of which one is should pick up the original or the sequel?Also should i get the expansions for either of the games?

  • srry but i have to say something THEY STINK AT MAKING CITYS!!!!!

  • lol. Steve Butts

    must of been hell in high school for this guy.

  • do people still play this online?

  • If i buy just the Black & White 2: Battle of Gods Expansion Pack, is that just the expansion or does it include the whole Black and White 2?

  • @Wit3KiD its just the expantion

  • where can you buy black and white? gamestop doesn't have it

  • @thehill2240 play.com amazon.com

  • @thehill2240 Amazon :)

  • Black and White 3 = From Dust.

  • @calculatorboyqwe That game's going to be awesome!!!

  • @calculatorboyqwe thats exactly what i was thinking and it comes out in 5 DAYS YAHA

  • @calculatorboyqwe it would be better than for from dust it doesn't have half of the stuff thus game does

  • @LeagueOfDillon Yeah; it was actually officially announced as B&W 3.

  • @calculatorboyqwe IK idc though it sux

  • There are literally no choices to be made and no challenge to be had in this game. If you like it, you're an idiot.

  • @TheIntenseIndieGamer No one may like what you don't like. You are a God. No one else may have an opinion, except for you, because you know everything. You're tasted ressemble what everyone elses taste is like.

    .

    .

    .

    No.

    You're the idiot, just because -you- don't like a game, doesn't mean that no one else can like it either. Get the hell off the internet. You're an embarrassment to the human race. Don't ever reproduce.

  • is interesting.....i try to find a game like age of empire 3 but online....who can help me ??

  • Should have mentioned that the creature they show in the videos and trailers are much taller then the one u get in-game, they capped the height at 11, its just slightly taller than the gate. I was pretty pissed off getting a false sense of hope geting a huge epic creature but by the 4th or 5th land its at its highest and its deffinetly not epic at all. Good game though.

  • @Stridertriller i think they changed it so that it would be more sizeappropriate - at the same time i feel alittle false marketing as you say

  • I've not played B&W 1 but I think this one is awesome. I'm trying Civ 5 atm and... well I like B&W 2 more.

  • @MrCurlyQu you realize B&W 2 has no challenge or choices to be made, right?

  • @TheIntenseIndieGamer It was a tiny bit challenging and you're right about no choices to make but I just enjoy B&W2 more. Maybe I prefer the close up city-building instead of Civ5 where you don't really see your city in detail.

  • @MrCurlyQu But Civ5 is a game, with things like strategy, challenge, multiplayer, free choice as opposed to completely linear gameplay. Any illusion of choice or challenge in B&W2 is just that. You cannot lose. The Good/Evil dynamic is gone; the game REQUIRES you to wage war, with the moral choices being reduced to completely superficial crap that DOES NOT ACTUALLY MATTER. This game is utter shit.

  • i'm actually a hard core gamer and i love this game

  • @H4L0K1LL4 why would a 'hardcore gamer' like a game with zero challenge, choices or strategy?

  • Steve butts

  • this game is terribly underrated. it should range from 9.5-10

  • @IWant2BASpartun if you honestly think Black and White 2 deserves a 9.5/10 youre a moron <fact

  • The next fable will be too much of a repeat of the 2nd one, and the 2nd one wasnt nearly as fun as the 1st, so instead of making more fables, Lionhead should really make a 3rd black and white.

  • i loved B&W 2. i really do hope they make a 3rd :(

  • two hints: when in area 2. put up archers along the walls, it does count as evil, but its an easy way of making sure no bad guys come in with the ppl that actually wanna move into ur city.

    the fields are nice, and raise happieness, BUT evry 5 mins, my town wants another feild! holly crap pplz! you have 34 of them already!!! Mi gawd! :P

  • @twhitefoxxyy lol those greedy villagers always wanting more

  • i traded some korean kid black and white one for black and white 2 a week later he left for korea with both

    so i didnt get to finish 1

    nor did i get to play 2 :(

  • This looks epic, I can't wait for From Dust, which is similar to this but more focused on the environment.

  • @Traviskolber

    Yeah it really looks good.

    But I find it abit sad that you can't build your own houses / crontrol the people alittle bit more.

  • black and white 2 is bad....not as good as 1...true? cause too much interaction and not feel like a god, just a governor and like a RTS...not a god-lke game.

  • 1:00 He said that a quest to build houses has no context.....erm you need houses for people to live in, what kind of context did he want :P

    Still an awesome game.

  • i loved black and white 1 because it was rather complicated to do things but it required you to do things that barely helped >.<. but again black and white 1 Creature AI was amazing how you needed to TEACH them how to do what you did.. but your creature is stupid in some ways that the more you tell them NOT to do something they DO it anyway

  • this was the best game plus you could screw with the stats to make everything 1 wood lol or people cost 1 tribute it was awsome

  • Thumbs up if you lol'ed at the reviewer's name :D

  • @ElvnSvn fuck off

  • @ElvnSvn lol

  • Eeeeeh I dunno, I really liked B&W just the way it was. I've heard this one is riddled with unresolved bugs. I also don't like the severely limited number of creatures, even with the expansion pack. How many were in the old game, over a dozen? Where's the mandrill, chicken, rhino, leopard? Apparently there is a gorilla in this game but you cannot legitimately obtain your own. Still, I'd like to give it a try.

  • has it ever happened to you guys that while playing you hear some one calling your name in a spooky kind of way ?
