Wow...I played the demo and it seemed like so much fun. Other sites have it a high as 8.7. I wonder why GS has it so low.

Is there Anyone out there who has played it that can confirm it is a poor game? I was about to buy it before this review came out.

Please let me know your thoughts on the game if you have played it.

Perhaps this is a result of Gamespot's new review system.

6.5 seems about right. The demo wasn't all that fun, I was looking forward to it until I played the demo.

That review is for the PC version. I bet the 360 version gets a 7 cause the controls are fine on the 360 but suposedly on the PC they are not good at all. Nothing worse the playing a game with bad controls.

Good Point. I didn't notice that the review was for the PC.

How long does GS take to post a review for the consoles after they have posted a PC review.

What I mean is, wen do you think the 360 review for Overlord will be out?

As others have stated, that was the review for the PC version of the game. And the biggest problem the reviewer had was the poor controls. I bet the 360 version gets atleast 7.0 because the controls are a bit better. Altho it is all a matter of taste, guess the reviewer just wasnt feeling it at much as some other sites.

Plus the fact that both arn't up at the same time make me think the 360 version is getting separate treatment.

Or Pikmin.

I heard that it gets a little buggy the farther you get into it, but as of right now I'm having a blast with it! But again it's a game that'll have niche appeal.

The 6.5 was for the PC version, not the 360 version.

But there's no way the 360 version scores higher than a 7.5 here at GS. It's a good game, but it could have been SO much better if they would have addressed some obvious issues. As it stands, I'd be interested in a sequel that works out the kinks because the game is hilarious, fun to play & has a lot of potential. It's the technical issues that bring it down, (control, camera, lack of in-game map, some bugs,etc).
