If you choose to, you can be black instead.īut the game does not rest just on the fact that you are a god who can make or break things. But you do not always have to be a good god, thus the name black and white. Perks being such things as people worshipping you and believing that one day you will do them a service like giving them a flourishing harvest. Since you are still a god in this game, of course you get perks, and also you need to give something in return. The whole idea was to give the player control over the game, but in Black and White 2 the amount of freedom is lessened. And you could always make a new one when you wanted to. You built a city and destroyed it when you wanted to. Black and White was known as a game about power, wealth and control and was one of the better games in its genre in which you could do pretty much anything without any restrictions in the structure of the game.
