Finally you get a game that focus the evil way of life instead of the good, and with a nice humorous twist. Dungeon Keeper was made before games became all about the graphics and not the gameplay. It means you get a game that works incredibly well and are fun to play. The Al in the game is quite good and if you buy Dungeon Keeper GOLD you’ll get “Deeper Dungeons” which even improves the AI. The units in Dungeon Keeper are a bit bizarre but fun to watch. They are different kinds of needs you have to satisfy or else our units will get furious, and leave your dungeon. You need to make sure that your units, or creatures as they are called, has everything they need. Like a place to sleep, to work out, to eat etc. which is challenging but additive and so much fun. Dungeon Keeper GOLD gives you an editor that are a bit advanced, but the manual makes it easy to get around that. Here you can do anything from level design to more serious scripting.
Peter Molyneux has an ability to create a unique and solid environment that makes the game experience superb. Unfortunately he has a tendency of making these great games into sequels, which are less fun to play and strangely enough are much poorer than the 1st game. Why mess with perfection? Not only did he do this with Dungeon Keeper 2, but also with Black and White 2. But there is no deny that Dungeon Keeper should be tried by any real PC-Gamer. If you have nothing to do this weekend, then pick up Dungeon Keeper GOLD. You don’t need to pay full game-prize for it since it´s an older game (1997), however the game provides a better game experience than must modern pc games. And remember: “It´s good to be evil”.
