Black & White review

Computer Gaming World (2001): "True artistic achievement, is rare and irreproducible, and precious when it’s found. BLACK & WHITE is such an achievement, and it is one of those games people will still be talking about twenty years from now."

Game Revolution (2001): "Black & White has captivated the entire GR staff with its amazingly creative and unique gameplay, graphics and humor. It's the sort of game that comes around once every few years and totally changes the gaming landscape. Take heed, heathens - there's a new god in town."

Retro gamer collector's corner:

A PlayStation version was in development and scheduled for release in summer 2001,[ and a Dreamcast version in late 2001. Both were cancelled.
