Sound and Movies

Environmental Audio

Dungeon Keeper 2's sound effects are exquisite, and they're enhanced with Creative's Environmental Audio (available to those with SB Live! Cards). The EAX API enhances the the already good sound effects for an even more immersive experience. Moans from the prison and wails from your torture chambers fill your ears as you gleefully go about your evil business. It is quite alluring in fact to listen to the Mistresses ah…amuse themselves…in the torture chamber. Spell effects rumble and your doors swing open and shut just as you imagine they would. The music is definitely above average too, and the witty designers at Bullfrog included some cool tracks. If some of your monsters get put in an enemy electric chair, the Disco Inferno track comes on - "burn baby burn!" Those little touches do a lot for the game and add a great deal of personality.

Movies and voice acting

Dungeon Keeper 2 has fantastic voice acting, utilizing the same narrator from the original Dungeon Keeper game. His deep baritone voice introduces every mission and gives you critical in-game messages. It serves well to get you in that evil mood needed to play the game properly. There are tons of animated cut scenes too, all of which are drop dead hilarious, or if not, just plain awesome. Many of them involve chicken abuse so animal rights activists may want to steer clear!
