Dungeon Keeper™ 2

I loved this game back in the day, and I love it now. It's strategy with a twist. The "RPG" undertone to it is very thin, but it's a perfectly satisfying premise for building dungeons full of dastardly minions. As a rather old game - it is what it is: the graphics won't blow you away, and of course one can imagine ways to improve upon the gameplay (larger maps to build in, perhaps a system to draw in minions of a certain type beyond expanding their room type). But the graphics are still relatively attractive, and create the appropriate atmosphere. I am running the game with only minor issues on my Windows 7 machine. Lenovo x60 tablet with windows 7 home premum (x86). Game "runs fine" except for a video flaw where half the screen is "shadowed out". Switching to "safe mode", however, solves this issue for me, and it runs beautifully from there. I suspect this video issue is a hardware/driver incompatibility problem, and not windows 7 per se. At any rate, it's up and running and more than enjoyable.

Although DK2 is advertised as Vista compatible, it wasn't until I tried it in a vmware XP session that I could attempt to play the game. Without hardware acceleration, the graphics can be hard on the eyes, but this is a well documented and unavoidable problem.

I played a lot of Dungeon Keeper 2 back when i was a kid, it's a great joy to play it again. I probably spend 5-6 hours to reach level 6 and 7. But now i think there's too many elements in the game and strategy for my taste. It was really fun in the start, but my brain can't handle it anymore. :P. And for the people having trouble with Windows 7. I run Windows 7 64 bit and had trouble with the game crashing, but i found a fix on Google. Just enable all the compatibility settings in the tab and set the resolution to 800x600 both in-game and in the tab settings. Then disable software rendering and you should be good to go.

Great game. I have Windows 7 and an Nvidia GEforce GTX 260M graphics card. I havent run into any problems with this game.

This is a great time consuming game very fun.
