Overlord is a great game if you are on a tight bugget! I bought it used for $17 at my local game trader. You can get it NEW at Circit City for $20. And with a sequal comming out TBA 2009 you can't be to stupid not to own it. It is addicting game (I think) but at some parts it is fusterating at some parts. And it is kinda short. You get to command an army of minions and you get to use magic and level up the spells. . There are 4 diffrent types. Browns the warriors. Reds the fire prof/ranger dudes. Greens the assassins/anti-toxic guys. And blues the the healers/mage peeps. It is kinda like Pikmin except more evil and dark. Insted of cute and cuddaly YUCK!!! It dose have an Xbox Live Cappability (I havent tried yet). All I know is that there is two events pillage and slather. You get like 20 gamescore total for trying both events and an extra 20 for winning 1, 10, and 50 in each event. The game play is simmlar to the gameplay of Fable but eather way you still are "Evil" eather way. Its always fun to do some evil stuff sometimes. During the game you will have to decide to do diffrent things example. . . At one part you chouse which mistress you want to have. Or take the gold or save the elven race. Its like a chouse your own adventure book exept 100 times better. There is tons of costomization avalible from decorating your Dark Tower to Chousing the weppon or amour you want. But id dose has its flaws that hold it back for the perfect 5 out of 5. At some times it seams to be a little dry and the jester at the tower is sooo f***ing anoying he folows you around all the time on the main floor. And you can only be so evil since it is rated T. And the characters say the same crap over and over agian but it is funny what the minnons and other evil characters say but the pestnets there a different story, when ever you walk past them the same guy says the same crap over and over agian. This is a solid game that is capable of being a great series. This is definitly a series to own! Overlord get a:
