Dungeon Keeper 2 is a genre defying blend of real time strategy, god sim, first person action and fantasy role playing. DK2 turns the traditional tables by placing you in the role of sinister archfiend and master of the cavernous Underworld. Build a dungeon to your own design, lay traps and doors to protect yourself, recruit an army of foul creatures and lure the heroic adventurers to their doom in your quest to reach the surface world of humankind.
Theres something immediately unsettling whenever Bullfrog turns out sequels. Best known for its original game designs like Populous, Syndicate, and Theme Park, the mere thought of Bullfrog working with an already existing concept instead of introducing an entirely new one makes sequels such as Dungeon Keeper 2 seem less ambitious than their innovative predecessors. All the same, the original Dungeon Keeper, a real time strategy game in which youd construct a subterranean labyrinth within whose corridors youd kill the goodly heroes looking to rid their land of the likes of wretches such as yourself, was one of Bullfrogs best ideas in years. In hindsight, though, it wasnt as outstanding as it might have seemed at first, and suffered from being a little too formulaic and at times too chaotic. And so Dungeon Keeper 2 seems like the right way to make amends, to take a brilliant game design and perfect it. Which is why, in spite of this games absolutely remarkable detail, it doesnt end up being all it might have been under the surface, its too much like its predecessor for its own good.
