The three years of development on the original Black & White did not go wasted. Even after nearly a year, Black & White still looks as gorgeous as ever. Zoom in to see your individual villagers' faces or zoom all the way out until your island is just a small spot in the vast ocean. From any distance, the game looks great. The colorful, attractive and well-rendered environments are still a real pleasure to behold. Creatures still look incredibly lifelike, with a vast array of different facial expressions. The completely mouse-driven yet hidden interface is also great. And of course, several new creatures have been included, such as a chicken, a rhino and a crocodile. If you liked all the eye-candy in the original Black & White, you'll like what you see now.
Like the graphics, both the music and sound effects found within Creature Isle is still great. Important creature fights also have a cool music track to help set the mood. The ambient music switches with your alignment, and never overwhelms the sound effects. A few new tracks can also be heard during cinematic cut-scenes. The sound effects in turn, are still great. Villagers will still sing, applaud, dance or worship you. Also, all the speech in Creature Isle is new, including voices for your conscience, members of the Brotherhood as well as other characters found throughout the game.
