Black and white is one of those games where it tells you what to do but doing what it tells you to do can be accomplished by several of diffrent ways. This is why the game is very fun to play. Developing a village, god powers, and your creature can take a lot of time but it builds on you although sometimes seems a bit repetative. The game is long and sometimes hard and difficult but makes for a great gaming experience. Some of the good things about it is it's non-linear gameplay but it's really easy for your alignment to turn evil. I give this game a 8 out of 10
