dont you think they already proved that with Killzone 1 + 2? |

Rhianna is Terry's daughter. And yes, she wrote the plot this time around too. It basically centres on the Glorious Empire trying to eradicate all magic creatures to usher in an age of peace and prosperity for all (nonmagical) folk, and we can't very well have that, can we? Also, there's is still a choice system, but where Overlord it was rather badly worked out (save the sacred glade? what am i, superman?) in Overlord 2 you have actual evil choices...kill everything or enslave it, and both choices will reward you accordingly. |

OK, now I am almost certainly buying this game now. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1237 Joined: 3 Jan 2009    | LOL, yeah, I'm glad this game didn't shove the 'moralist message' down our throats. |

The demo is just misleading. In the demo you aren't really doing that many things that rely too much on the camera, the full game however is a different story. |
Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 557 Joined: 29 Oct 2008   | Not quite right on the minion leveling, it depends on their equipment and amount of armour. The higher you upgrade your Brown Barracks the more armour and a quick trip to conquered nordberg will get you a load of fully tooled up lvl 9 minions. And that is from new borns. |

Well, the longer they fight for you, the more armor, etc., they're likely to acquire, but the way I said it made it sound more like XP, which isn't the case. Thanks for helping to clarify that. |
Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 644 Joined: 29 Jun 2009    | I just bought this game about 20 minutes ago. Unfortunately, I didn't get to start it yet because my brother just HAS to play Harvest Moon. Anyway, the demo was fun, although the camera was a pain sometimes, and since it wasn't that far into the game it was mainly button-mashing. I'm sure when I get more kinds of minions and more magical powers, it will be MUCH more fun. This game makes me think of a diabolical version of Pikmin though. |

Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 766 Joined: 20 Jan 2009 | The PC version of the first Overlord was good. I'll want this one I think, but I'll check out a few more reviews. Is the sequel more challenging than the original? Also, Susan is wrong about the nature of the player character *** SPOILER *** |
Pulitzer Laureate Posts: 719 Joined: 29 Apr 2008 | I like the premise for this, but i feel it would be better executed as an RTS. |
Copy Clerk Posts: 76 Joined: 4 Jul 2009   | xD I read in GameInformer that the developers of this game intentionally insulted all those rights groups and such...just so no one would feel left out and all xD I'm gonna get this after I get a job and all the games I'm waiting for this Fall......>.> Too many of them DX Thanks for the review ^^ |

Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 597 Joined: 5 Jan 2008     | Well I technically am already in the boat to get Overlord 2 as I played 1 and the DLC but I definitely appreciated the view and look forward to resuming my subjugation of mortals. Filthy peasants... |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 4088 Joined: 6 Sep 2008  | PC version is definatly alot easier to control, I played the original overlord on PC first then on the 360 and just couldn't play it. The Sequel plays ALOT better with the 360 controller, the way they hotkeyed the magic is alot better. Overlord 2 is basically like Overlord 1, but with more cruelty and boobies, and a more refined experiance. The quests in Overlord 2 are alot more varied as well, involving more then fetch lever and turn wheel, and the minion dungeons to get the hives are alot shorter and to the point now. Great game, better then the first in every reguard. |
BANNED  Posts: 2513 Joined: 3 Dec 2008   | I loved the original Overlord (hard-to-deal-with console controls aside) so I may have to spend some dough and pick this up. On the other hand, maybe I'll stick with the original 'till the price drops a ways. User was banned for: The artist in thee. (Permanent) |
Paperboy  Posts: 47 Joined: 4 Feb 2009 | I have the PC version (via Steam) and I haven't had any major problems with the controls but every once and a while when I try to sweep my Minions the camera sorta goes off and does it's own thing. All and all, I think this a a good game. |
Beat Writer  Posts: 144 Joined: 1 Jul 2009 | loved the original and it looks like this 1ups it... cant wait to get it |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2849 Joined: 21 May 2009   | The camera of overlord 2 annoys me slightly but it will grow on me i guess. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 3894 Joined: 15 Aug 2008 | I rented it shortly after reading this review, and the game is indeed very fun, and quite funny as well. I haven't had much of a problem control wise, but one potentially big issue is the fact that the framerate seems to stutter, and while it isn't game breaking, it is fairly annoying. |
Paperboy Posts: 17 Joined: 16 Apr 2009  | "the cries of baby seals will haunt u in ur sleep!" knowing myself, i'd probly just enslave every innocent pedestrian i see and make them screw over their own kind. Yea, im lazy and sadistic like that. |
Paperboy  Posts: 36 Joined: 9 Jun 2009 | I loved the demo for the 360, so much fun just pounding everything as my Minions ride in to thrash the humies ^.^ on wolves. |
Beat Writer  Posts: 126 Joined: 22 Feb 2009  | Another view: (this will be somewhat of a rant, so feel free to ignore, i'll even put it in spoilers) thank you for bearing with me on that, this has been stuff that's been brewing in my mind for a while. |

Yeah, I use to like that game as well. Dungeon Keeper 2 is a bad ass. |
