Has anyone played "evil genius"?

has anyone besides me played or even heard of evil genius?

FYI its a pretty recently released PC game that is very 70's-ish. basically you have an underground lair where you train minions and try to take over the world. the best way to describe it is its like a bizzare mix between dr. evil and the sims.

PC gamer gave it an 88%, and gamespot gave it a 7.3. the only real reasons it didnt get a better rating on gamespot are probably going to be patched soon. little frustrating glitches and problems.

i heard of it,it looks fun,i was gonna buy it,but school started,n i decided to cut down on how much im on comp anyway =/

I recieved a demo of it.

Its pretty fun: definatly nice that you get to be the bad guy for once
I might invest in buying it, I dunno: it looks like it might get old sort of fast:-/

youd be shocked how far the game goes in the full version, its anything but getting boring fast. ive restarted 3 times, getting better every time. ive invested so many hours on it. you get like a new island, and build a rocket silo, and research like a million buildings and a million traps. plus you get all these awesome henchmen, like 5 at once.

only problem with it, as i said, is it needs a patch. theres a couple build problems, and certain things such as disguised turrets that cant be researched in the american version.

It got a bad review on CGW so I'm a little wary of buying it. The demo didn't excite me much (mainly because the good guys came bursting in every 3 seconds and I was constantly on red alert =\).

its not dungeon keeper...and dungeon keeper is the ultimate game of that genre...cant wait for a possible Dk3

It has to much of an anime look to me but that of course does not mean it wont have good gameplay. Just not my style of game.

you dont like the 70s look ?
