Populous™ 2: Trials of the Olympian Gods
Description
As the offspring of almighty Zeus, you demand a seat among the gods. But before ascending to the top of Mt. Olympus, you must first defeat some of the most powerful deities in the Greek pantheon. Such a task would be impossible for a puny mortal, but you wield the raw power of the universe in your hands, for you are destined to become a god! Learn to shatter the sky with lightning and shower the earth with fire. Summon heroes to aid your people, and plagues to destroy the enemy. Call forth tornadoes, hurricanes, tidal waves, and columns of flame.
The second installment of Bullfrog's Populous series follows the path set by its predecessor and remains one of the greatest god-games ever created. Populous 2: Trials of the Olympian Gods vastly improves the formula by adding new spells, better quality sound and graphics, and a character development system that allows you to customize your divine powers in any way you want. You really can’t go wrong with a game where you can kill gods, obliterate entire continents, and strike down upon the infidels with great vengeance and furious anger. Just as Peter Molyneux, those things simply never get old.

- Greatly improved gameplay with many new spells, an enhanced interface, and a system for customizing your deity's awesome powers.
- 1000 maps on which to wage your epic battles against gods and many different mythical creatures.
- A great way to feed your desires to become omnipotent and maybe learn something about Greek mythology in the process.

Complete waste of money
The game is made for much slower computers. With a modern computer, everything is stuck in super turbo, it's impossible to enjoy the game. I was disappointed this time around, I expected better from GOG.

EULA??? part 2
Am I the only one noting that this is not truly a GoG game? When I buy a GoG game I expect unfettered ownership of the game. No DRM no EULA. Now we see two EA games (Syndicate being the other) which both require the acceptance of a EULA to play. I have purchased many games from this site. But if this continues, I'll go back to searching the bargain bins.

Best in the series
This one was the best in the series and a watermark for other god games along with SimCity 2000. However I really feel GOG and EA should have bundled 1+2 together. I'll be waiting for the discount.

Play Populous The Beginning only
Friendly word of advice skip the first and second game, and play the third one only; given how awful its outdated graphics now are, compared to Populous The Beginning.
