| But no matter how great a game looks, an overly ornate control panel can ruin it B&W however is free of icons most of the time. There is one drawback some of you might see and that is the lack of a group select button forcing you to individually set tasks for villagers, but then you might notice that unoccupied villagers would, of there own accord, join in resource gathering that you have initiated or how builders who had completed a structure would move on to another construction site or make them selves useful repairing damaged buildings. And your little mouths shall grin widely in appreciation when you finally realise that your youthful creature, who is tagging along on the rope �leash of learning� had realised through observation how to create job specific disciples himself and is busy press-ganging malingerers, just one example of many great B&W moments when you realise you have significantly underestimated the intelligence of your creature. The only downfall that I can see in B&W is the camera movement, for instance to look left or right you must move your hand (curser) to the edge of the screen, hold down a button then sweep your mouse in a circular motion. It�s a bit of an odd system but you�ll get used to it and this one minor complaint seems insignificant in comparison with what the lionhead team have achieved in this superbly complex and well thought out game. |
