Ooookk..
Black and White is NOT an action game, and it is NOT as fast paced as a
first person shooter.
It is a veeerryy slooooooowww..meeethodicaaall Strategy title.
A lot of your time will be spent managing the resources of your land, which
are food and wood, and makign sure that each of your villages has enough of
these items.There are limited forests, limited fields, and fish take time to
breed and flourish on the coast. The amount of these raw resources available
on each map varies. You will also spend time building new houses with the
wood, managing the amount of worshippers in each village that you have
praying to you, and ensuring that the birth:death ratio of your villages is
positive, so that your population of believers doesn't start to dwindle.
THen, there is your creature. WHom you must pet, and teach to do certain
things until it learns enough and becomes almost autonomous.
These are the tedious aspects of the game that you must take into account,
but they are aspects that you can't shirk in getting to the fun portions of
the title, such as watching your creature age, learn and develop along the
lines that you dictate, the fun of the open-ended play and the freedom to be
good or bad. or just damned mischievous like me heh heh.
But when you start to realise that your creature truly DOES react to your
actions, that there are several ways to impress a village, and claim
worshippers from your opponent..when you find yourself just sitting looking
at the panoramic sunsets or watching your creature breakdance in a circle of
worshippers while the hours tick by and your coffee *sip* goes cold...
you'll know you've been bitten by the Black And WHite Bug....:)
It's a wonderful game....but it ain't for everyone ;-)

have not played any rpg's, other then 12 years ago or so, when i was way
into running & playing "Call of Cthullu, D&D, Marvel"
But those required 12 people, paper/pencil & imagination.
some writing skills didn't hurt either.
