Good Game.A unique kinda game for someone that wants to play somthing different.Nice looking envirments.Great Animations
Graphics: Very good. The animations in this game really are good too. Your Minions have pretty realistic movements as well as almost all of your enemys. Water,sky etc. they all look rather good.
Gameplay (what matters): Very Unique which is why I really liked this game. You can smack your enemys around a little yourself but really most fighting will be done by the minions you can control. There are 4 kinds which are all unique in some way. the actual game is not very difficult to get through, but if you want a really difficult challenge the Collisuem is very very hard to finish. I personally never got through it. The Colliseum is more of an add-on then a real part of the game though. Also while going through the game you can pick your route to be either very evil or not so much, but really this kinda felt a litle off as you don't always have a choice.
Replayability: In order to get all the achievments you would have to play through the story mode atleast 2 times, but really it dosnt feel worth it. None of your items carry over to your 2nd playthrough. Your 1st playthrough will likely take long enough that by the time it's over you will be satisfied with your purchase and wanna move on to another game. Don't go trading it in though. I did this and now I miss the game. It's one of those games that leaves a lasting impression and at some point you will wanna play it again.
Multiplayer: This didnt really catch on to me. This game is much better in 1 player story mode then in Multiplayer.
Bottom Line: at $30 this game is a steal. At it's original price of $60 it would have been an ok purchase. Luckaly if your reading this it probably means you havnt yet purchased the game and are considering it. My advice is go for it. It's one game that is unlike any other for the XBOX 360 and wont let you down if you want a fresh style of gameplay.
P.S. There is a 2nd Overlord Game in the Makings right now. It is suppose to be released some time this year (2009) and I hope it buuilds on this Games design.
