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!
Yeah I hate the pun too, but anyway, this game is certainly a lot of fun, especially if you're into ghosts and the idea of the spirit world. Not too much about the other side is explained, which is good as it leaves a lot to the imagination and lets you believe whatever is in the light yourself. Like the other games by this company, this is worth getting.
Rare to find such a good game. This was the first game I played by Wadjeteye games and now I'm hooked on their games, buying each and every single one and I havn't been dissappointed. This game won MANY rewards and by playing it, it's obvious why. If you love adventure games and okey around sci-fi (it isn't sci-fi heavy) they you'll enjoy this game.
After anyone plays this game it's hard to deny that games are/can be an art form just like movies and books. You get many of the middle of the road stuff, but then sometimes you get one of those peices of fiction that captures you. Without giving much away, you start out traveling to a house where a man is on his deathbed and you are to use this machine to grant him a wish by altering his memories in the past. It's very touching and the ending leaves you wanting more, especially when they say "end of part 1" meaning that they are going to indeed make a sequal and I can't wait for it. A very emotional ending, I warn you now.
