I love this game. I can't see how Gamespot gave it a 7.5, but I won't complain.

Well, this game is just great. You start out as being resurrected form the dead or something, and set out to conquer the land. After a nice, well-made tutorial, you enter the main game world. Immedietly after I started, I thought: PIKMIN! which it is, in a way. You can send your minions (funny, goblin-like creatures) to pick things up and carry them, attack things, and do things like that. The game has charming and pretty visuals (which make my crappy pc lag) which do not fit at all in with the evil-looking overlord. The minions are cute and funny, but they can be a pain to control sometimes. The overlord himself is actually quite a fun character to control, being very powerful, and eventually having a number of spells at his command. All in all, I really like this game.

Gameplay: 9.0: The game itself is awesome, but the minions are a bit hard to control.

Graphics: 9.5: very pretty, charming graphics, but they make my crappy computer lag.

Sound: 8.5: The sound is nice, the minions are funny, but their constant jabbering can get REALLY annoying.

Replayability: --: no Idea

Controls: 9.5: They are really very good.

Total: 9.0: Not the best game ever (see my okami review) but still pretty dang good.
