Populous II: Trials of the Olympian Gods
As a descendant of the almighty Zeus, you demand a place among the gods. But before you can climb to the summit of Mount Olympus, you must first defeat some of the most powerful deities in the Greek pantheon. Such a task would be impossible for a weak mortal, but you hold the raw power of the universe in your hands, for you are destined to become a god! Learn to shatter the heavens with lightning and rain fire upon the earth. Summon heroes to aid your people and plagues to destroy the enemy. Unleash tornadoes, hurricanes, tidal waves, and pillars of fire. The second installment in Bullfrog’s “Populous” series follows in the footsteps of its predecessor and remains one of the greatest “god games” ever created. “Populous 2: Trials of the Olympian Gods” significantly improves upon the original gameplay with new spells, enhanced sound and graphics, and a character progression system that lets you customize your divine powers however you like. With a game where you can slay gods, wipe out entire continents, and unleash vengeance and fury upon the unbelievers, you really can’t go wrong. Just like with Peter Molyneux—these things just never get boring.
