After having picked up Overlord Raising Hell I felt intrigued to play this game, sadly only recently was I able to obtain it. So far it is as good as Raising Hell. Camera 3/5: One of the main problems in the game that occurred in Raising Hell but it's still not bad enough to make someone drop the game. But at times it will be irksome. Graphics 4/5: For a game that is more on the cartoon side this has some very good graphics occasionally, hence the not perfect score, you will see some blurred images and rushed graphics. Sound 4/5: Not much to really rate on with this but music could do some improving, sound effects are perfectly fine. Gameplay 5/5: One of the best aspects of the game, though it is pikmin style in alot of areas the overlord can fight. And he is quite strong and reliable. Very fun. Story 4/5: Besides the idea that is it repetitive the story is very good.Read full review
Extremely fun game. Loaded with lots of humor and fun storyline. I bought this game because I wanted a game I can play without having to be serious and not over think what I have to do. Very easy playing with lots of funny characters. Although, controlling the characters take some getting use to, but once you get the hang of it, you can rack up the havoc. I was hoping the gameplay was kind of like Populus, but its more like a first person adventure game then a strategy game. Of course there are some puzzle that you have to figure out, so some thinking and patience is needed. Not done with the game, but enjoy all of it so far. Great game if your looking for one of those destroy everything in your path. That what this game is all about and with all the evil "gremlin-like" trolls to help you along the way, it make life easy.Read full review
I tried the demo of the original Overlord a while back and decided to buy it. I've finished the first Overlord game and I am now about 1/4 (or so?) through the 2nd game. The series is great. It does have some flaws which mar the experience, but only slightly. First the little nitpicks. I know people don't like the camera but it's no big deal unless you're big on action and this is more of a strategy game where you need to slow down and assess the situation anyway. Also, sometimes your minions don't behave 90% as they should when you're trying to get them to go somewhere or pick up something. "Hey, you guys missed 1 of those 10 gold sacks.. *sigh* guess I have to pick it up myself.." or "Attack those fire gnomes... attack them already! Ahhh! Get it off! Get it off!" in particular come to mind, but these are only two little things in an otherwise wonderful little game. Oh, it's also somewhat difficult to tell whether you're being good or bad at times, but I finally learned that "dominating" others is being nice. So if you're ever given the choice between destroying something and having others do something for you.. go enslave some people or you're going to be disappointed with the results (unless you really DID want to burn that town down in your first play through!). Now for the good things. There are a lot of good things. Namely there are a lot of improvements over the first game. You can now revive your minions (costs 2x their level in minion essence/souls) so if one of your little buggers grabs a fancy helmet early on then you're going to get to see that same helmet for a very long time (unless you don't revive them). There's tons of special objects in the game to collect. I've always enjoyed collecting special goodies in Zelda-type fashion. You'll often see an object you can't yet reach and then come back later to claim it once you can access more of that area. It's a great system for adventure games that never gets old. I'll just list off a few more features of the game now. -Forge a verity of different weapons and armor as you find different mold sets. -Have up to 3 mistresses. -Minions have mounts now. So far only wolves but I think the other 3 colors have mounts too. -There's a $5 arena add-on on the playstation network. A must-have IMO. -Full PSN trophy support, for you trophy enthusiasts. -Comical world full of satire. So basically if you liked the first game then this is basically more of the same and you will not be disappointed. If you haven't played the first game and you like adventure games or cute little minions then you should try the first Overlord game out or at least try a demo. They're both great games and I can't see how anyone could be disappointed unless you're looking for a more action oriented game like God of War.Read full review
Over lord 2 was a nice game if you like a lot of carnage and distrution. What I loved about this game was that it gives you more stuff than the first game the story takes you bake frpm the first to the second game and when you find out what you didn't get in the first game you find out in the second .my dislikes were how he doesn't have the same powers he did in the first game but taking over your minions minds and body makes up for it. I bought this game because I loved the 1st one so I loved the 2nd one to
I was a huge fan of the first overlord game, other than the control issues of course. In overlord II the controls are pretty much the same, except for casting spells is a pain in the ass. As a big fan of the first installment I must say they could have done a LOT more with this sequal, but in the end I'm not totally dissatisfied. So my recomendation is to purchase this tiltle if you can find it cheap, and if and only if you'd like an extended version of "raising hell" cause this one isn't much different.
