Editorial Review:
There are many games that let you tear through dungeons with a group of adventurers as you loot, kill monsters, and build up your strength for the final showdown with the evil beast that runs the place. Dungeon Keeper 2 reverses these traditional roles by letting you run the dungeon. You get to stock your custom-made deathtrap with creatures, set traps, and generally make life as miserable (and short) as possible for the heroes foolish enough to invade your lair.
Games such as the old Wizardry 4 and the original Dungeon Keeper have operated under this concept, but no game has done it this well. Starting with a little hole in the ground, you command your minions to start digging tunnels, mining veins of gold, and clearing out rooms to house the nasty creatures you'll eventually generate and recruit. Everything is rendered in colorful 3-D, and the special effects are especially satisfying.
Beware: This isn't a game for the kiddies. Characters like the Mistress, who is rewarded by being tortured, are strictly for adults. That "Mature" ESRB rating is there for a reason. If you like building games like SimCity and can appreciate Dungeon Keeper 2's dark sense of humor, it's hard to beat for wicked fun. --T. Byrl Baker
Pros: - Terrific 3-D graphics and overall production values
- Twisted sense of humor
- Lets us play a fantasy game from the bad guy's perspective
Cons: - Definitely an adult game: don't let the kiddies anywhere near it
- A little too easy to master
The Heroes have returned, determined to thwart your plans of reaching their sunlit world. Can a pact with the mighty Horned Reaper finally enable you to realize those dreams of desecration? Only by satisfying the cruel need of your dungeon minions, while striving to crush the foolish adventurers who are plundering your domain, will you prove yourself a worthy keeper.
Dungeon Keeper 2 introduces deliciously wicked new traps and original rooms, inhabited by a bestiary of creatures with unique talents and devastating spells.

Rating:  - Amazing RTS, small problems
This is one of the most fun RTS I have ever played. You get to slap around your minions, torture the good guys, and pretty much have a blast being evil. The bile demons are great, and the dark mistresses laughs are creepy. This has a very good sense of dark humor, and I would not recommend it to anyone under 13, or anyone who didn't like dark humor.

Rating: - Game is Fun but Glitchy
Dungeon Keeper 2 is a great game. The plot is that you build a dungeon to attract creatures to fight heroes to get portal gems to give to the Horned Reaper who collects them to get to go to the Overworld [our world]. Sadly this never happens because number 3 was canceled but the game is a hidden jewel.
You can build all of the normal dungeon-esque rooms, eg. prisons, gladiator pits, and torture chambers. You can recruit many creatures from the usual demons and undead to the odd ... Read More
Rating: - Dungeon keeper, there is something unpleasant under your fingernail
I really liked this game. I played pen & pencil Dungeons & Dragons for years, so I have an appreciation of the dungeon-master concept behind this game. Dungeon Keeper 2 is a blend of real-time strategy, base-building, and sim-developing, but the real treat is being able to play as naughty as you want--and be rewarded for it! There are a few things that I would change about DK2, but overall, I found it quite enjoyable, even years after its initial release.

Rating:  - Fun but full of Bugs
I loved Dungeon Keeper, so I bought this product thinking it would be the same addictive game as the original. Here are some pros and cons of the game. As you can see, there are more pros than cons, but the one big con, the incompatibility with XP brings it's rating down for me.
Pros:
1. 3D graphics, pretty descent for a 98 game
2. More characters
3. Same great game style as original
4. Easy to pick up
5. Great sound and voice acting
6. Sandbox ... Read More
Rating:  - The Best Older Game:
The graphics are decent, the objectives are challenging, and you get to play the villain...what could go wrong? True, it doesn't always work on all computers and crashes a lot but if you keep up with saves its not really that big of a deal. I do warn you that this game is pretty addictive once you get it running smoothly though.
