Dungeon Keeper™ 2

i can't play it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This was a fun and amusing management, like a D&D cross of Evil Genius and Startopia. The cuts scenes are funny, irreverent, and irrelevant. However, the fact that the minions get angry because they haven't bothered to seek out their food or payment becomes annoying in the later levels. The map is also disorienting and you will find yourself loosing track of where you were intending to drop creatures off. So, I'll give it only 3 stars. Better choices would be Evil Genius and Startopia.

Don't get me wrong, dungeon keeper 1 is my all time favorite game, but this is not done it's nostalgia magic on me. The good parts: -It is in complete 3D! -Picking up creatures and dropping stuns them, so your enemies cannot spam them. -Creating groups in first person view. -Spells level up now, example, summoning imps with level 4. -At the End of each campaign, there is a funny cinematic cgi. -Workshop is a big improvement of prequel, now you choose the traps you want, which trolls will make them. -Increasing and decreasing speed of the game itself. Bad parts: -Mana is added, why not only gold like previous one. It is used by spells only, even by some traps continuosly. -Sound is way off and missing a lot, does not give statisfaction as prequel one. -Training limits, creatures level up to fixed amount (I think 4), for more exp, let em battle. -UI, this is completely disaster, it is not clear, especially the map... -Battle stats, when your creatures are battling, in DK1 you could see their healths and pick em up. -Timers on some missions, again why? Forcing the player to rush is not enjoyable at all. -Crashing when playing first person view... -Reinforced walls can be broken now by imps. Neutral parts: -The cinematic movements of camera ingame, when starting the mission and giving some briefing is actually not bad. -Voice acted horned reaper is the narrator. On it's own, it is not bad game, feels like a total different game. But as a sequel? It's just not worthy classic.

They made a hardware acceleration patch and now the game works flawlessly on my Windows 7. I am finally able to play this great game again!

as title says, with their hardware accel fix the game FINALLY works with windows 7 64 bit. WORTH IT!!!!!!!!!!
