2004-01-20 - Disciples II: Rise of the Elves on IGN
"Rise of the Elves [is] a solid product all around, especially when considered as an expansion pack. It's definitely worthy of consideration if you enjoyed any or all of the previous titles in the series, and also as a less than full-priced way to introduce yourself if you've yet to visit Nevandaar."
2003-12-23 - Disciples II: Rise of the Elves on GameSpy
"Disciples II is still, two years later, one of the best fantasy-themed, turn-based strategy games on the market. If you haven't played it, you have no excuse to pass on it this time around with Rise of the Elves." Final Score: 4/5
2003-03-25 - Just-RPG
"Disciples 2: Dark Prophecy’s gorgeous visuals will amaze the eyes as the gameplay excites the spirit and the finely composed music and sounds stir the soul!"
2002-06-27 - Game Industry
"All in all, Disciples 2: Dark Prophecy is a fantastic follow up to the original game. The artwork of Disciples 2 is stunning and the missions are challenging and entertaining. If you enjoyed the first Disciples or you are just looking for a great turn-based game, I suggest adding Disciples 2: Dark Prophecy to your library."
2002-06-14 - Gamer's Hell
“Disciples 2: Dark Prophecy reminds us that great, innovative gameplay and an engaging storyline is what makes a good game, and that is exactly what it gives us."
2002-05-10 - GameOver
"The first time I played it, I was hooked for a little more than four hours; I can’t think of the last time I got sucked into a game like that."
2002-05-10 - Computer Games Online
"If you're a fan of turn-based strategy, though, Disciples II belongs in your game collection. Despite its flaws it's a well-polished and extremely solid game, and one that you will not soon exhaust."
2002-04-22 - 3Darcade
"So if you like Role-playing games, strategy games or fantasy games then this is a good game for you. I don't even like strategy games and I enjoyed it."
2002-04-22 - Stratos Group
"Disciples 2: Dark Prophecy is, simply put, fun to play and you will find yourself looking at the clock after what feels like 15 minutes, only to notice that maybe 3 hours have passed at a time... if you even remember to look at the clock."
2002-04-02 - ZenGamer
“But the addition of RPG elements, the improvements in all the fields from artwork to the visibility of units on the map, and all the scripted events (including a Neutral AI that performs its own actions, sometimes based on scripted events, sometimes defending a particular treasure or resource, and sometimes just roaming) that occur while you race for glory change the experience into something much more involving and ultimately, richer and more rewarding. Do yourself a favor, at least download the demo if you're at all into either strategy or role-playing games.”

"You will not eat. You will not sleep. You will forego work and a social life just to have the coveted ‘one more turn and I’ll go outside,’ moments."
2002-03-04 - Armchair Empire
"DP is addictive. Sitting down to play through a few turns can easily suck hours from your life as a “few turns” becomes 50 turns."
