Video Game Reviews of Dungeon Keeper 2

Customer Review: A truly original computer gameplaying experience
Summary: 5 Stars

The first three-four missions of the campaign act as a good introduction to the Dungeon Keeper style of gameplay. And then the missions gradually increase in levels of difficulty.

There are several factors that make Dungeon Keeper a lot of fun to play - the first is the humor. The narrator has the perfect voice for an evil omnipotent Dungeon Keeper, and the cut-scenes are very amusing. The second factor is the gameplay - the premise is simple but you can employ some pretty complicated tactics to defeat your rivals.

And the game is infinitely replayeable - just because you've played a mission through doesn't mean you can't employ different tactics the next time around. Implementing the 'My Pet Dungeon' and Skirmish Modes was also a good idea.

But the game has one big drawback - it's combat interface. As an ominipotent being, you can cast spells like thunderbolts or healing. But it's very difficult to heal a single warlock when he's in the middle of a huge melee. It's more likely you'll highlight the wrong creature by accident. Perhaps if each creature was displayed in a stackable health/mana bar on the side of the screen, it would make it easier. Then you could click until you selected the warlock you wanted to heal.

Other than that, Dungeon Keeper is a huge amount of fun to play. If anyone's looking for a truly original computer gameplaying experience, I strongly recommend Dungeon Keeper 2.
