I don't think this game deserves a 6.0 from Gamespot because...
To start off, the thing that really made me want this game is the way you can chose so many things in the game! You have to chose one of two choices at many points in the game and your choice reflects on wheather you are good or evil and also affects the game in the future.
Another thing I love about Overlord is the minions! You cna carry around a pack of minions that range from four different types ( You have to unlock three during the story and one type is the default ) and each has it's own special strengths and weaknesses. At first you can only carry around 10-20 minions ( I am not sure on that number ) but as you go through the game, you can expand you pack number by finding stones that allow you to do so. There's nothing like storming a town and destroying and killing everything in sight with 50 minions at your desposal.
The enviorments, enemies, graphics and sounds are great! There are so many types of enemies and the graphics of them are very cool. There is a variety of enemies and their apperances are very enjoyable. The enviroment graphics are great too and there are many places that are both creepy and exciting! The sounds are great too and and they mix with the enviroments well!
One last thing that makes Overlord awesome is the crude humor and comedy of both the Overlord, the minions, the enemies and the innocent peasents that you can tease and play around with! There is som much joy in wiping out an entire town, burinig the houses to the ground and killing the innocent towns people that try to rebel against their master!
All in all, I definatly don't think this game deserves a 6.0! I love this game and I am looking forward to the sequel, Overlord II! There are many great things in Overlord Raising Hell and, even though there are a few bad things, the good things take your attention away from them!
