  • Summary: The Battle of the Gods expansion pack for Black & White 2 offers player a host of new challenges in a much darker, more sinister game world. 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

  1. 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.
  2. A better class of more of the same. [June 2006, p.92]
  3. Battle of the Gods is a straightforward expansion that adds some new, but not remarkably different, content to Black and White 2.
  4. 70
    The only real addition worth mentioning (beyond just having more missions) is the inclusion of an enemy with a definite personality and agenda.

    This only lasted about 4 hours of gameplay for me. Its good, but theres still no skirmish or online play. thats what we all want from b&w. and there is only about 1% of the ore resource for how much you need to use in-game. Collapse
