Dungeon Keeper™ 2

the game will continually crash when trying to do anything on the main menu on a Windows 8 laptop

Now don't get me wrong, I'm not wearing Nostalgia glasses for this as when I first played DK2 I didn't play too much of it and I wasn't a lover of these kinds of games until later in my life. What's often most disturbing is so many old posts say how it's a terrible port and not working, but those reviews are over 3 years old and for me the game runs fine on Windows 7 Ultimate and I've been playing it through steam too and have had no issues. I love the work these guys do here! The game itself, if you didn't know, is where in stark contrast to most games you are playing the villain. You own a dungeon and are trying to conquer the world, however those pesky heroes keep getting in the way and trying to destroy you in the game of being a pompous, dungeon dwelling thief! Teach them a lesson by recruiting minions and knocking back their pathetic advances! This and the first game were completely new ideas back in the day and to this day most games haven't done the formula correctly. the ability to possess a minion I always loved as I would do hit-and-run tactics with enemy traps and enemies in general to make sure I won. A fantastic game that enhances anyone's library!

the game lags alot in the menu ad I can't see the movie clips, works fine in game. makes it hard to play since you have too tab out and then in several times to get in game. is there any way to fix it or is t the game it self?

Had 0 problems with playing this as soon as I got it, works perfectly. And so glad about it too, this game is really one from my childhood and it's so very good to be able to play it again.

Technical things first: I'm playing this on windows 7 (64 bit). I played 6 hours so far and only had 1 crash when i started a new level, I then just restarded the game and loading just worked fine. I haven't encountered any graphical issues or else. About the game itself: I've never played Dungeon Keeper, so i'm not connected to it by nostalgia or something. Yet, i really can enjoy the game. And if such an old game is enjoyable in times where we got graphics like those of BF4 etc., it shows that Dungeon Keeper is just a very good game (this also says that today's games are often - let's say very bad - concerning gameplay itself, but that doesn't belong in this review). Conclusion: Game great + works in Win 7 (64bit)
