Though not as highly rated as its landmark original, Dungeon Keeper 2 successfully transformed the series into true 3D. Reviews varied highly, with some criticism about the lack of new features compared to its predecessor, Dungeon Keeper. IGN was among the highest raters of the game, awarding a score of 8.9 and the editor's choice award. Many reviews cited the lack of a fully supported multiplayer mode. While the CD-ROM release of the game contained only four multiplayer maps, this problem was later rectified in with online patch, which increased the number of maps to a dozen. One of the most praised aspects of the game were the variety of game types included, the My Pet Dungeon freeform sandbox mode, the linear campaign mode, and the somewhat limited skirmish mode along with the previously mentioned multiplayer mode.

Famous quotes containing the word reception:
“I gave a speech in Omaha. After the speech I went to a reception elsewhere in town. A sweet old lady came up to me, put her gloved hand in mine, and said, “I hear you spoke here tonight.” “Oh, it was nothing,” I replied modestly. “Yes,” the little old lady nodded, “that’s what I heard.””
—Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)
“To aim to convert a man by miracles is a profanation of the soul. A true conversion, a true Christ, is now, as always, to be made by the reception of beautiful sentiments.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Aesthetic emotion puts man in a state favorable to the reception of erotic emotion.... Art is the accomplice of love. Take love away and there is no longer art.”
—Rémy De Gourmont (1858–1915)
