So close, and yet so, so far...
Renting, thy name is Overlord. When first picked up, this game seems like a gem. A chance to unleash my inner evil and rampage across a verdant land, hordes of fanged monstrosities at my command? Do you even need to ask?... Read Full Review

A lot of fun, seems new at first, but then you start to see a lot of similarities with other games. Still fun though.
This game is quite a bit of fun considering it had little to no hype. That being said, I couldn't rate it very high without lying to myself about parts of the game clearly take from others. The game play is taken right o... Read Full Review

In selection the 360 lacks, Overlord fills the void nicely for fans of fantasy.
With games like Overlord, being critical is utterly pointless. No doubt, if you've spent the money and feel the need to rip into a game that was so close to doing everything right, knock yourself out. In the mean time, t... Read Full Review

An innovative, amousing game. Extreamely playable

If you played Overlord and liked it, you will also like this expansion. However, after it you will not want to play overlord ever again, unless new sequels if ever made, bring in serious innovations. Some attempts ... Read Full Review

Overlord is a beautiful and unusual 3d person game with some RPG elements that shouldnt pass unnoticed.
Overlord is a game that puts you into the shoes of a very macho man (it looks like a man) with a very impressive armor and a really bad attitude in a land similar to Middle earth. It looks like the heroes of that land ha... Read Full Review

Disobedient RTS soldiers? Minions are what every true leader needs. They have enough charm alone to make the game work.
Overlord is a game that takes the fantasy genre in good humour. It has obvious influences, the evil Overlord rebuilding his tower...Baradur much? It has some really great ideas, and for the most part they work, but I sti... Read Full Review
