You basically direct little demon minions in various acts of pillage and destruction, from what I can gather.

A bit like being a scout leader.

She may enjoy it, its sort of Dungeon Keepery. You control little minions to do your bidding and they all have different attributes.

I quite enjoyed the first one, so I may splash out on this.

Dungeon Keeper + Pikmin = Overlord. I enjoyed it

The first is more cynical with better humour imo, the second more 'approachable' though some may dislike the seal clubbing early on. If there are any Terry Pratchett fans reading this you may like to know that his daughter, Rhianna, is responsible for a good deal of the writing. I found both games to be fun romps.

Love Pratchett Books, and didnt know his daughter was a bit of a fox

They come to about 9GB all together.

Overlord 1 and 2 are about 3.8GB and 3.9GB each

The expansion is 1.35GB.

crumbs

/wonders why I didn't get my laptop from the car and download it in work..

Langlest · 13 Nov 2009 at 15:04

just bought it

i liked the demo to the original overlord so im guessing this is £6.25 well spent

Stelly · 13 Nov 2009 at 17:49

grrrr.... thinking about it, but I'm not sure that I can actually afford it at the moment...

Bargain! Overlord had a a great dark comedy, can't wait to play the 2nd one.

Just bought Overlord 1. For €1.50 I won't be too disappointed if I don't like it, but from the reviews it looks like an overlooked gem.

My bro told me to get this said its a great laugh, wasn't expecting much but he was right its pretty decent and a bargain at the price.

dmcg · 13 Nov 2009 at 23:10

great entertaining games they have some replay value with the different endings but still deffo worth it

Langlest · 13 Nov 2009 at 23:17

i havent got round to playing it yet but can anyone tell me if a 360 pad works with these games?

Dan.m · 13 Nov 2009 at 23:19

Never played Overlord, but it looked fun and for this price i think ima have to buy.

zer · 14 Nov 2009 at 13:25

Bought! Demos were ace and there aren't many things you can buy for this amount of money! Just hope that my brand new XBOX 360 controller works with them!

I'd forgotten how much fun this game was! They seem to have addressed a lot of the issues with the first one, mainly the stupid amount of farming one had to do to forge and power up the later weapons (thank god the enhancement bit's gone), but the minions seem a bit dumber than they were. Sure they level up, ride stuff and take more punishment, but they get stuck and confused so often, and simple fences stump them. Hopefully the rush of new purchases will inspire Codemasters to patch them in some brain cells, and maybe a sprint for your guy - they've not addressed his dawdling, I noticed. Still, at least as fun as the original, and seems to be a fair bit larger as well - loving the siege weapons and ships!
