I really like all the items that you can buy in this game. The graphics are really good except when theres alot of characters on the display which results in a slowdown.

Entertaining and fun

Evil Genius is a simulation game where you basically get to be like Mr. Evil from Austin Powers. You build a base of operations, hire minions to do your dirty work, gain infamy and be the biggest, baddest evil genius out there. You also have to guard against spies and goody goody people. You steal money and create weapons. All of this is done to take over the world. I had to buy 2 copies of the game because my boyfriend kept borrowing the first one I had. It is fun to play side by side with another person. It is cool to see how you do things differently. I highly recommend this game.

Evil Genius' Genius!

The first time that I played this game it was a French language version, so I found the terms used for minions and other such encountered rather.. interesting, however the vocabulary was not detrimental to the sheer quality of the gameplay. You are an Evil Genius [evil laugh] and you must build your reputation, your wealth and just how much of the world is in the grip of your power with acts of infamy. Over time secret organizations of do-gooders send off pesky threats and secret agents to take you down but with your lair built to be as deadly as it is entertaining for you, you can simply sit back and watch them fry. What fun! The graphics remind me of The Sims, as does the language the people employ if you zoom in on them enough. Ochestrated music definitely add a touch of class to your evil biddings, no matter how horrific. All in all, this is a GREAT Evil Genius traini-- I mean simulation.. Yes.

Evil is just the half of it

When it comes to world domination you got them wiped into shape. This game was a load of fun and its get better when you start just mass killing everything that move. I would recumend it for anyone who like to manage minions to do your bidding

An Amazing game that everyone in the family can enjoy.

Evil Genius is an amazingly addictive strategy game (sort of a Sims game). It has great humor, great graphics, great sound, and lots of great gameplay. In the game you build an evil lair and send your minions around the world doing evil deeds. Meanwhile you raise cash, more minions, build a bigger base, buid traps, and defend your base against the nasty do-gooder agents (ala James Bond) trying to take you down.

Doing all of these things is great fun. Just deciding on your base design is fun and the graphic animations are terrifc so just watching things happen is entertaining. Fortunately the game will easily take you 40 hours or more to complete and you will certainly want to play it at least one more time to incorporate all you learned on your first play.

Overall, Evil Genius is a great mix of strategy and campy humor that will probably keep you playing long into the night.

Wonderful game!

A few years ago, I bought this game for my boyfriend. He played it for almost 2 months, exclusively. He is a video/pc game addict, and for him to concentrate on one game for so long is extraordinary. He would finish the game, then go back and start over. Through the past 2 or 3 years, he would reinstall the game and play it through a few times, sort of a comfort-game for him. Recently, he attempted to reinstall the game and, sadly, one of the discs was scratched beyond repair. He was deeply disappointed. He looked like a child who had lost his blankey. So, I ordered it for him, and the second he recieved it, he tore it open and has played it at least once a week ever since. Thank you for making my gaming addict happy again!!

Fun

This is a flashback to the spy movies of my youth. Great concept of a genre that is wearing thin. Fun, addictive, top notch. Would love to see a sequel but hard to top this.
