Dungeons Review

At least the visuals are well designed, and though they lack detail close up, they capture the feel of a dark and dingy dungeon, with decaying skulls, coffins, and creepy-looking monsters lurking along claustrophobic corridors. The voice acting is good, too, being suitably hammy and never taking itself too seriously. In particular, the voice of your companion Mr. Sidekick is spot-on, with a gruff nasal quality that exudes pure evil. This isn't enough to make Dungeons fun though. Despite borrowing so much from Dungeon Keeper, Dungeons hasn't managed to capture what made Bullfrog's game so much fun to play, and its own additions make you feel like less of an all-powerful dungeon master and more of a zoo keeper for humans. Unless you're desperate for prettier graphics, you'll have much more fun seeking out an old copy of Dungeon Keeper.
