*Drool froths from mouth*
Man i cannot beleive how much this game is going to rule! I have played the PC version a little round a few mates houses, my PC is crap :p
But it looks soo cool! Its definately on my most wanted list now, I found a passage in an XBM "Free" booklet about Xbox games
"Black and White was and is a masterpiece of PC gaming. Marrying different styles of gameplay: managment, strategy and (bizarrely) the virtual pet game, it created a unique and magical gaming experiance. And now its coming to Xbox! The idea is this. You play a god and your objective is to rule over the land of Eden. You go about this by convincing the local tribesmen to beleive in you and helping them to reproduce - after all, the more tribesmen there are, the more people there are to beleive in you and the more power you have. With more power you'll be able to defeat your rival gods and convert their worshippers to your cause. The xbox version will be different to the PC one in many respects. Apart from looking a lot nicer (check the furry creatures!) the control of your creature will be done directly through the joypad. Your creature will also be used for casting miracles (spells) and fighting other gods creatures aswell."

Phillip. You don't control the "Gods hand" you control your CREATURE with the joypad.
I didn't like the PC version at all so I won't be getting this unless improvements are made.
I don't agree with Phi11ip though I believe using dual analog sticks it will work quite well. Only time will tell though :)
