Evil Genius is a fun and entertaining game for the whole family (ok maybe not), but it certainly is entertaining for anyone who ever dreamed of building a secret base in a mountain and taking over the world. However the taking over the world part is kind of boring (who would've thought). But all you have to do is send your minions some where in the world, wait, click on the begin mission button, wait, then bring your minions back and wait some more. You don't even get to see these acts of infamy take place. However, while your waiting you can entertain yourself by taking out agents of justice. Anyways, you can send out one of your henchman and depending on who you have, you can kill these agents in very amusing ways (my favorite is the bazooka). Also interrogations can be lots of fun, especially when you use objects such as a mixing bowl to bring people to your way of thinking. While these are fun, they are about the only fun things you can do at your base (besides using diabolical traps). Most of the time you will be waiting for minions to build traps, waiting for minions to place objects, and waiting for minions to kill a secret agent, or you will just be doing absolutely nothing.
So all in all this game can be loads of fun if you have nothing to do and you aren't an impatient person.
