Black & White 2, first impressions - 23.5.05

Gamespot got a hands on look at Lionhead Studios' Black and White 2 at E3. They managed to see an entire level from the much anticipated sequel played from start to finish.

We watched as designers Peter Molyneux and Ron Millar demonstrated both alternatives in a mission, playing as a Greek civilization on a huge landmass, which was home to a warlike Norse tribe.
