I see that some give this game a low score and i cannot fathom why. The game is simply great. You (The Evil Overlord) are given a bunch of small gremlin-like creatures and you are charged with the task of wreaking havoc with them! Honestly, i haven't seen this much fun and charm in a game since the original Black and White. The graphics (although not exactly up to date) look good even at lower settings, the gameplay is enjoyable and the music and sounds in the game are amazing, including the voice overs which are quite comical. The formula is brilliant. Lots of puzzle solving, a good amount of combat, good use of strategy (so one cant just button mash and get to the end of the game).

Fable + Black and White + EVIL = THIS GAME!
