Related Topics – Black & White 2, Peter Molyneux

EuroGamer has a new Black & White 2 preview, offering impressions of the game and quotes from Lionhead's Peter Molyneux. Such as this one about the first game's shortcomings: '"It had really, really really terrible, awful tutorials," [Molyneux] admits. "The creature itself was broken, you couldn't really build things and people really wanted to build things, there weren't enough objectives in the game, the story couldn't reflect what you'd like. The list goes on."'

The fact that the guy is so honest about the things that went wrong and how they have spent all this time putting everything in for the new one gives me hope. I actually enjoyed the first one, it just had a few harsh shortcomings (not being able to get past island 3/4 being a big one).

The biggest issue I had with the original (aside from the BS hype machine) is that there was no level that had a straight up slugfest between you and another god.

1st level: training basics
2nd level: "fight" with training wheels to show you the basics of godly combat.
3rd level: you expected to fight, but no....you get the creature taken away and have to manually crawl acrossed the map by hand massaging retard villagers.
4th level: Again you expect to finally fight another god, but it turns out you're doing after-the-party cleanup. And someone pooped in the pool. Fun.
5th level.....uh maybe this level rocked, but I quit on the 4th so who knows.

The first game just wasn't fun to me, I tried to give it a chance, played to the 2nd level/world/whatever. I will give it praise for attempting to be original but not anticipating this one at all.

As much as I felt ripped off after seeing what black and white really was after all the hype, I still enjoyed tooling around with my monster and progressing everything.

I have some real hope for this game. I'll just be a lot more wary and not get caught up in the hype... again.
