Best Game of 2001
"There's so much amazing stuff in this game: The Gesture Recognition System;
The dust and soil thrown into the air when you plack a huge oak from the ground;
that sea shanty song… It's all too much to handle. AAAARRGH!!!!!"
"Not just the game of the year, very possibly the game of the decade."

Black & White "Best AI" of the Year.
"No other game is even trying such a feat. The creatures' ability to learn,
remember, habituate, and develop distinct personalities is without peer, and is
clearly the new standard for the industry."
