This is the only game in a long time that I have played(and enjoyed) that have not actually had any form of multiplayer options.. It may be a weakness since you can only play the story mode...
The game is created by Lionhead Studios and is an EA product. You play as a god and you have to lead your people to victory over those who wants them dead by eathier doing good things and make your enemys friends or by doing bad things and crush all others with military power and controling things like fire, lightning and meteors. The game is made so that you in how ever you are playing have to build a city for your people to live in, the bigger city you have the more worshipers you get and with them you become more powerfull as a good and as a civilization. You do also get a giant pet to your disposal that you also can form as you want it to be, evil or good. There are 4 kinds of pets monkey, wolf, lion and cow.
