ummm, darkbasic is programming language. and if i did it more, i could risk it sticking in my head. for example, i could go down to the food cupboards, and to open the door i'd blurt out 'rotate object "door.3ds" ,80'!

There were many great bits in Black & White, enough to have me really interested in the sequel. That said, I did get lost in the original for hours at a time, despite the numerous bugs, glitches, and the really annoying "death" whisper when a villager died.

Thanks to GAME's "10 day return to base" thing, I just installed it, took it back and exchanged it :P

Yeah the poor gameplay mechanics are all there, and like I said, the minor 'fun' bits were great until you got bored.

Black and White is an excellent game concept, ruined by gameplay mechanics which enforce prolonged periods of micromanagement at a level of tedium conducive to extreme boredom and depression.

It's not a good game.

I liked Black and White somehow.

I just liked picking up people and throwing them in the river, Crushing animals with rocks, causing destruction around my village, throwing creature poo around.

It's fun while it last's I guess, It's more of a tarted up Tamagotchi with extra's thrown in.

Calling B & W crap is bit extreme.

ANd it goes without saying that the more you learn and understand something, the more you'll enjoy it. So play the bl00dy game more!!!

that couldn't be more true. for example, i do not like Dark Basic, because i do not understand it.

i like Gaming, because i understand the universal 'rules' of behaviour and skill. i'm also good at it.
