What Gamespot Users have to say about Evil Genius
- Rating:8.9
If you always wanted to rule the world, Dr. Evil style, this game is for you!
In this game you will design and build your own evil lair, recruit and train loyal minions, and terrorize the world until they submit to your power. Being evil was never so much fun despite some minor annoyances. The g... Read Full Review

Very interesting game, lots of replay, but ultimately cheap AI dooms this would be gem.
Okay, this game is alot of fun. Many hours I've spent toiling away at my evil empire. I'd say I got alot of play time out of it. But I had to stop, cause the AI is just too damn cheap. More on that later, lets see the vi... Read Full Review

This game may have some lulls at first, but it really gets fun as you progress.
I can understand why some people may have scored this game low because at first there is sort of a drag in the game. But that all ends soon and the game gets very fun. As you recruit more henchman and unlock more of the ... Read Full Review

My evil empire for a fast-forward button.
Evil Genius infuriates me. Not because it's shoddily-made or overly difficult, because it isn't either one of those. Evil Genius infuriates me because it's easy to sense the potentially awesome game that's hidden behind ... Read Full Review

Great game with a solid design, but serious showstopping bugs hold this title back. Wait for a patch before buying.
Evil Genius is the latest good vs. evil role reversal game to hit the market for the PC. The game places you in the shoes of one of three, well, evil genius bent on conquering the world. For an added twist to the game,... Read Full Review

Have to disagree with GS this time. Innovative premise, impressive graphics, immersive gameplay. Highly recomended.
Once in a while, only ONCE in a while, even the most experienced experts can get things wrong. Gamespot generally provides very reliable reviews, but unfortunately, they have got it wrong this time. How could they miss a... Read Full Review

Devious traps, evil minions, underground lairs. It's all here in the delightfully campy Evil Genius!
Fans of Dungeon Keeper and Dungeon Keeper 2 will definitely enjoy this game, as will anyone who likes the Sean Connery / James Bond movies. This game has a lot going for it - humor, strategy, and depth. Cheifly, you... Read Full Review

A little disappointing, but not THAT bad....
I was really looking forward to this game. I really enjoyed Dungeon Keeper, and I thought that taking that concept and moving into the world of evil super villians would make a really, really fun game. Well as it t... Read Full Review

A flawed piece of work - not as much fun as the demo!
Let's get this straight before I start - I loved the demo of Evil Genius, read all the websites, and was totally caught up in the pre-release hype of the game. I was disappointed by the review of the game on Gamespot ini... Read Full Review

Reviewer should have played it more.
The problem I see with the Gamespot review is that the reviewer obviously didn't take very much time playing it. The complaints about tagging agents, heat, no manual save, defending your base, and others make no sense t... Read Full Review
