Introduction

In Lionhead and Electronic Arts' revolutionary new game, Black & White, you assume the role of a god summoned to a new world by one single prayer. Ultimately, though, it's your decision how to run the new world. Are you compassionate, and do you gain trust and love from your followers from friendly miracles and wondrous acts? Or do you rule the new land with an iron fist, keeping your people terrorized through frightening miracles and deadly acts?
