I think the idea of live online play and working with other players or fighting other players and letting my creature play with or fight other players' creatures in real time sounds awesome.

Is it like that? Is it sandbox style? Is it and makes it even more worth getting Black and White instead of Black and White 2?

online play is disabled. only way to play multiplayer is via lan, or a VPN(virtual LAN) such as hamachi.

so of course you cant login.


More on topic, the multiplayer is fun, although It is essentially as if playing a skirmirsh, only your opponent might be smarter and better then you
