Replaying Black & White, I found myself really bored. All the amazing freedom and open gameplay once promoted seemed to be non-existent to me.

My original playthrough ended close to the end of the game, when my town and creature were being constantly pummeled with fireballs. It might have been tough and it might not have been. I’m not sure because my computer slowed to a crawl. That’s when I gave up.

I waited over a year with excitement and anticipation for the original Black & White to come out. And it was ever so much fun when playing that first time.

But now it just seems really lacking. Really, what can you do in it? You can train your creature. You can collect food and wood. You can throw things. You can kill or heal or perform miracles. That’s about it. There isn’t much more interaction.

I’m a god! I should be able to do anything! Hell, you could cause an earthquake in the original SimCity. But here I am, stuck with throwing lightning bolts and setting people on fire.

What I’m trying to say is, Black & White 2 had better step up. Because people aren’t going to put up with it’s crap this time through.

Oh, and Fable sucked.
