I love 'city' building games. Dungeon Keeper 2 was always on of my favorites. I had never even heard of 1 or 2, and now there's a 4th. This game is pretty in depth. Need to defeat certain areas to get 'evil points' to complete most of the research. Some of the rooms need a specific item to function properly. The comedy of this game and so many references to lots of other games and even pop culture. I don't think it's jab, it's more paying homage. I am loving the game, now I need to get 4.
