It takes the player back once more to the world of Eden where something strange has started to happen: The Aztecs have not accepted defeat lightly and by making a huge number of human sacrifices they have raised their own evil deity, forcing the player to return to Eden to fight it head on. As customary in the Black & White world, the player has the freedom to choose how they will rise to this new challenge by either countering the evil deity’s actions with good deeds or attempting to defeat him with extreme evil. Black & White 2: Battle of the Gods features a brand new creature, two new lands and four new miracles. An all new enemy unit AI system enhances the battle experience but players have to watch out for two new enemy armies and their ultimate weapon: the new enemy creature. There are also six new challenges and other new content for players of the PC game to explore. [Electronic Arts]… Expand

    The addition of more creatures gives it more depth and will keep you amused that little bit longer, plus the plot is amusing and explores the darker side of Eden, what with the undead running around all over the place and everything.

    Battle of the Gods is a straightforward expansion that adds some new, but not remarkably different, content to Black and White 2.

    Good expansion, just not good enough to buy both the original and expansion to play it.

    Fairly atmospheric, but not the religious experience we hoped for. [July 2006, p.83]

    Ultimately this is a very predictable and flat feeling expansion that may have the hardcore few blowing the dust of their original game and reinstalling it, but will certainly not be bringing new players or those that may have passed after buying the first game in the series.

    Excellent follow-up to Black and White 2....the difficulty level has been ratcheted up significantly, including the silver scrollExcellent follow-up to Black and White 2....the difficulty level has been ratcheted up significantly, including the silver scroll puzzles...makes this very challenging which for me is key to a game. Ten years on, believe it or not, this expansion holds up admirably and is well worth playing. Replay value is high with Black and White 2 and this expansion. Recommend.… Expand
