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...

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!!

Dungeon Keeper is a brilliant game, but its not my favourite strategy game. Digging under ground creating lairs to hold your minions, vaults to stash your gold and many other rooms to train, please and feed your creatures. Unlike many games, you play the bad guy for a change. You controll many Imps who dig tunnels and rooms for you to acheive your evil plans to stop and destroy the Lord of the Land and his heroic men of piece. Great visuals create a dark atmosphere with the use of flame lit torches (which is done very well) and the cursor in the form of a hand, which lights up dark areas. The creatures and monsters that you controll range from giant beetles, flies, trolls, wizards, skeletons, bile demons, ghosts, mistresses and many more. To controll your minions you simply click on the creature you want and you can then pick them up off the screen and drop them where ever you want. This game has great humor. With its screams of pain, Imps running along tunnels and the ability to hit or beat your minions to work faster.

I think this game is very good. Its funny, violent, simple and easy to play. The only problem I had with this game is that it get hard a bit too quickly and can sometimes get repetetive. But its still a great game.

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?

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!

This game is beyond fun! You get to play evil, the voice overlay is wickedly awesome and the creature sound effects are funny! Oh and the music! Perfect.

Have fun, play this game and dominate the land!

Simply, there is nothing like it. It has no equal, and I am not being overly generous. I come back to the original DK years after having first played it, it is simply that quality of a game. The sequel is worthy of the Dungeon Keeper title, but IMHO lacks some of the key flavor that made the original so appealing. To its credit the interface was significantly cleaned for the better, and the separation of mana and gold means less spell-spamming and leaving yourself unable to pay your minions. But, if they are unhappy without their paychecks? Squish them with a boulder trap. Imp tick off the horned reaper? Send him over to your rival's dungeon. Gritty, playful, with beautiful sprites and challenging levels there is only one thing that can be said; It's good to be bad.

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)

This is a rare game. Just for the people that have a little evil in their hearts. Being [tired] of other games, that the bad guyz always bash you? Tired of those traps that you always set off?

With this game, your enemies will suffer from that! Torture 'em! Scorch em! KILL EM! Just for relaxing after a bad day at the work

This real-time strategy game is worth purchasing just for the rare privilege of playing the Evil side of the coin. There is so much to like about this game -- the amazing sounds, secret levels with strange objectives, the thrill of backhanding one of your creatures when they slack off. Most players will eventually grow a little irritated at several flaws, including a battle system that even the sequel couldn't improve and a level structure that starts you from scratch after each dungeon. However, with a torture chamber among the inventory of rooms which you can build and play with, this game will definitely provide hours of wicked joy.
