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...
Slap--Slap---Slap--Your Mistress is angry.

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!!
Enjoy Being Evil

I first played this game when I was about 12 years old. I couldn't get enough of it. Instead of doing bad things on the internet, I was doing bad things in a game. I loved greedily mining for gold-loved the ruby mines-infinate gold-and I loved killing the good guy. I stopped playing it and gave it away when I was about 15 and in my "good girl" mode. Now I regret giving it away and want to buy it again. It is very addictive and much better than drinking, doing drugs, or getting pregnant(believe me-you don't want to be pregnant).
When you play this game, you feel the utmost of evil, and when you walk away from the game, your personality can still be the same.
It is extremely addictive to have a community of powerful beings to command, and it is fun to go exploring through the lands that you are to take over. Highly recommended.
-Claire :)
P.S. DO NOT allow impressional kids to play it. It could change their personality. That would not be good.
THIS GAME ROCKS

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
Can't stop playing it

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)
The Dark Beginning...

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...
I LOVE IT AND I WANT MORE!!!

I have both DK Gold and DK2 and they are magic. Unfortunately since the demise of my old pc and an upgrade to XP I am unable to play these great games. So I'm agreeing with the previous reviewer - Bullfrog - PLEASE pimp these games to run on XP. I'd buy the revised versions like a shot.
Fiendishly Fun

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.
