Summary: The Game's demo shows...
Review: ...that this is a pretty fun but kind of coplicated game.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Dark Beginning...
Review: Dungeon Keeper is a game without parallel. It virtually started the creepy, dark & dim dungeon game genre. When you're through with the good guy stuff, this game is a masterful way to explore the other side of the coin of balance. Excellent gameplay, intricate levels, diverse characters, and a really cool mentor guy make this one game you shouldn't miss. Unless, of course, you're afraid of the dark...

Summary: Marvelously evil fun..
Review: Dungeonkeeper is the first of the "play as evil" games, and the first to use the hand as the interface. I suppose the graphics are hokey by today's standards, but I still pull this one out every now and then.

There's not much replayability, alas, in the single-player game. But hook up with a couple of friends, and your life will never be the same!

Summary: Bad day at the office dear?
Review: Had a bad day at the office? Why not come home conquer the world? This is a great game for semi-mindless fun. It is billed as a stratagy game, but many times they help you out just a little too much. Some levels are more stratagy than others, some are merely hack and slash and pray you can keep enough of your creatures alive to survive the attacks.

On the other hand I love the graphics and sound - especially on the main screen. You can watch the land turn from a lovely idyllic green kingdom to a nasty pox ridden blemish complete with howling wolves. Inside each level, there are different obstacles to overcome and you as the lord evil. Plus you have your own issues to resolve, the flies keep picking fights with the spiders and they do tend to get eaten in the process. Such things count against you on your score. Of course you can always torture a hero or two to make yourself feel better.

The creatures that assist you in your attempt at world domination also change with the levels. I love the way they get bigger as they train up. I also like the voice of the narrator. I could listen to him all day.

My only critiques on this are that it is too dark for it's apparent targeted age group (13 - 21 year olds) yet too simple for older players. Also when there tends to be a lot going on on the screen - you sometimes lose your game, graphics engine issues? Save often. Maybe the next one will be better?

Summary: pleasantly evil
Review: I really enjoyed the wicked genre of the game. Some people hate the fact that you start from scratch,but what are the odds that you'll find an underground empire that you don't have to fight for or build yourself. The real trick is keeping your minions from desserting because they have sence of creature comforts to and you have to pay them (what you thought they'd just work for you putting their life at stake with no cash income?) and keep them from warring amongst themselves because they have natural enemies. This game is really humorous (ever slap a bile demon) the creatures reactions to certains actions are normally quite funny. One word of advice never sacrifice/slap the horned reaper. if you sacrifice it the creatures will desert with the tought that you're an idiot for sacrificing the best demon. If you slap him he'll go into a killing frenzy killing everything in sight until is but a bloody wasteland before him this is actually quite funny to watch,but...

Summary: Can't stop playing it
Review: My mum & dad don't let us play on the computer all day - sometimes they only let us (me and my brother & sister) have 1/2 hour. But even so, we always play Dungeon Keeper. It's the best game! It may be about being the most evil Dungeon Keeper, but you just ignore this and treat it like Age of Empires, etc where you have to build certain objects so that you get to be the best and win. We've been playing for over a year now and we still haven't got to the end, cause we love starting from the beginning again (where the levels are easier)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Slap--Slap---Slap--Your Mistress is angry.
Review: One of the best games on the market, in my opinion. Just love being the bad guy, instead of the regular good versus evil scenerio.

The game actually teaches you how to play, which is rare any more in the gaming industry. Build and manage you money. Some levels are easier than others, but then there is one that you have a killer time beating, as you get attacked wave after wave and unless you build a prison, immediately, no way to get gold easily. The addon, is okay, but I think it could of been better.

The second DK 2, wasn't as good as the first one, here. Too much shading and the graphics are not the best for such an expensive game.

DK 1, love it and wished there had been an offical level maker/editor. I wished EA would make another game similiar or identical to DK1. I would buy it in an instant!!
