Title: Black & Blacker
Product review: Somewhere between 3 and 5 years in the making, Black & White disappoints and irritates on so many different levels that it's hard to know where to start. The non-intuitive control system takes hours of getting used to, and even then is clumsy and unresponsive. The graphics are not on a par with such recent titles as Giants or Sacrifice, the landscape morphs and warps as you move around it and the villagers, well, the less said about them and their unfeasibly large feet the better. The sub-plots are supposed to be humourous but are merely twee, as are the good and bad advisors. Much has been made in the gaming press of the creature AI and it may well be the best ever in a computer game, but the game itself, which should surely be the most important part, is sadly lacking. This may well be selling swiftly, but will be returned to retail outlets just as fast by all but the most persevering of gamers.
