Black & White 2: Battle of the Gods

"...if you liked the first game, then you'll probably like this one. It does all the same things, and fixes some outstanding bugs. However, if you're a newcomer, there's little new in here beyond a handful of paltry extras. There's not even the standard RTS expansion gift (which should always have been in the original) of a multiplayer mode so you can show your creature off to your pals. Yes, it's beautiful, yes it produces some stand-out moments and yes there are enjoyable elements in there; but all this only serves to save it from an even lower score."

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

"For only twenty bucks, the new expansion is a pretty good deal for fans of the original game. It doesn't really add any new toys to play with and the few that it does add are pretty much superfluous. The only real addition worth mentioning (beyond just having more missions) is the inclusion of an enemy with a definite personality and agenda. Sure, the military game is still just about pumping out enough soldiers to overwhelm your enemy, but the fact that the enemy is even there at all gives the expansion a focus that was missing from the original game."
