Advantages: Graphic
Disadvantages: None
Created by Peter Molyneux (do you know Populous or Dungeon Keeper?) it's a very simple and a very interactive video game, you are a god and you take over a tribe and a magical creature. If you bring this creature (a tiger, a cow or a monkey) up well it will become very powerful and you can win easy, but you have also to look after to your tribe! You must have believers, more believers = more power, this is the key to the victory.
In the first level you learn how to use your magical powers, how to bring up your creature and to convert the tribes (it's a very long tutorials, at first this can be slightly confusing, but after awhile it becomes very friendly).
Through the mouse, you can easily make many miracles, which you will receive during the game, and you will be given a leash in which you can walk your animal.
The 3D graphic is very realistic for a real-time strategy game, and the sound make a wonderful atmosphere.
In the beginning I think controls aren't very easy but the plot and the innovation of this game urge you to go on, to play hours and hours without realize it!
I've noticed that sometimes missions aren't explained too well, but it isn't a problem, you have only to reflect more.
It's a new type of game, nothing you have ever seen. There is strategy but also action!
It rules!
