Dungeon Keeper™ 2

For those having trouble running the game on Windows 7 simply disable hardware acceleration and/or drop to 800x600, it should work fine afterwards. This has been a known problem with the game since before GOG.com got it so do a little research here guys. Anyways the game is the #1 dungeon and evil sim that has ever been made. You really can't go wrong if you like games like Dungeons or Evil Genius.

I was initially excited when I saw that DK2 was up on GoG, but after reading the reviews it was apparent that they had released a very poor version that wasnt working for most players. Totally bummed. It's always been a problem getting it to run on newer operating systems, I have a disk copy that wont even begin to cooperate with win7x64. So i skipped it for the time being. Today i broke down and bought it, desperate to play DK2 on my new laptop. I was hoping that they'd worked on it a bit by now, and I'm happy to report that it looks like they have! It works! And even at full resolution. That said, i couldnt simply run the game once installed. First, i had to apply the fix that was provided alongside the installation file download. Secondly, i had to dig into the Dungeon Keeper directory and run the "DKII-dx.exe", the other DK exe does not work for me. But yeah, runs great so far. But on to the game itself - yeah, it rules as it always has. You create the perfect dungeon, filled with all manner of loathsome creatures, and put the heroes that invade your lair thru the wringer. Train up the most badass monsters, and send them out against the enemy. Possess one of them, and lead the attack yourself from a first person perspective. This is a very unique title, and really the only game of it's kind. Well, besides the original which is great as well. Now lets go see if we can get that one going as well...

i have always wished to play this game with someone online please email me at jlettier.post@gmail.com if you would like to do the same.

Since most reviews here are old I'm gonna make a fresh one. Before, Dungeon Keeper 2 was a mess, graphical effects and crash happy like nothing else. Playing a whole level was hit or miss, crash risk increasing every second. BUT! Then GoG released the Hardware Acceleration fix and some other things and now we can all play this epic classic like it is supposed to be enjoyed. :D I have only have one crash since I applied it and that was my own fault. :P The screen is clean with only very, very, very minor issues. (A few discoloured pixels) Thank you GoG for your dedication and for making this game functional on modern systems. ^_^

This game is very fun and I truly enjoy it. But I also have a macbook which could use this game. I would be thrilled for this to get a port on mac.
