Review title: What a waste
Product review: This game has the potential to be fun. Unlike others who say this is "dumbed down" from the first one, I thought the the original B&W; spent too much time forcing the player to set up cities and play the game with limited resources. This does correct some of the imbalance and allows for a more direct way to conquer other cities (namely, armies).The problem is this sequel was designed like an after-thought. It, quite simply, doesn't work. My specs exceed what is needed - however, the game (and this is from forums dedicated to it) was not designed to be compatible with Windows XP, let alone Windows XP 64 Pro (which is what I run).The result is that every time the game gets interested it crashes. Not to a blue screen, not directly to windows, but instead freezes, takes forever to get to the Windows Error screen, and then forces you to restart and go through the entire intro again.So, no matter how much fun and pretty the game may look, it's unplayable.
