Why oh why isn't that MMORTS?

Yeah, I'm not really sure what game companies are doing nowadays. They must expect profit by buying a franchise and using the name. I mean I like the universe, but if it were a fps only game I would not have had near as much fun with it.
Creativity seems to be leaving the game arena. Or people are just lazy. I'm not really sure which of those it is.
How was the second one anyway? Everyone said it sucked at the time and I never got around to buying it in the bargain bin.

The second one is indeed bargain bin material. Pretty as it is in places, the move to full 3D was too early.
The limited polycount took a lot a way from the charm of the critters, this was countered some by the pre-rendered comical cutscenes / character intros, but not enough to fully compensate.
Also the number of critters was heavily reduced (again to lower the hardware requirements for the game I assume) changing the gameplay some. And the interaction between the critters seemed less advanced; no fighting among the ranks.
Also, for some unexplained reason they opted to turn the Horned Reaper into some kind of powerspell, removing all charm the short fused bastard had in the first game.
Still as games go, it is not bad. But it pales in comparison with the original.

Yeah, it doesnt make any sense what so ever. Why even name it Dungeon Keeper Online? Its not like it will have anything to do with keeping a dungeon online. That was my 5 cents worth of predjudice.

Agreed with all that has been said in this thread, save for the fact that I quite enjoyed DK 2.
