Advantages: Good ideas, well developed, fun ideas

Disadvantages: no difference level on level

In theory this game is very good. The ideas are new. The graphics were cutting edge. The game incorperated every element of being God. Every choice was yours. The development was long and the title came with huge hype.
In fairness the game is good. The villagers work well, and you get every choice in the game. Other gods are competitive and the difficulty in micromanagement progresses well.
So why does the game fail to be playable. Because everything is the same. You've played it once, you've played it a thousand times. Infact that's almost exactly the case. It kept me engrosed for a week. The beast was a good touch. I was a happily evil God. Fun. Untill every fun possibility had been tried and it turned out to be as repetitive as trying to unlock a padlock, without knowing the code. At cheap second hand prices this game is good value, but don't pay much, its not a marriage. more a fling.

Summary: This game is for Christmas, not for life.
