I really enjoyed the first game, fun little game with a good sense of humour. Anyway there is a demo up of the second one on Live now

i enjoyed until i got to a certain bit which i just couldnt beat. probably wont touch the second one tbh.

Liked the demo, had the original for the pc, didnt find it hard at all.

First one was fun if a little grindy in places (getting enough energy stuff for making armour...)

Loved the Spartan outfits for your minions though

And they can ride wolves now

Yeah the new mounts are cool

I'm looking forward to this personally, really enjoyed the first game overlooking the bugs and such (played it on pc) so hopefully the 2nd on console will be mostly bug free and even more fun!

Really enjoyed the first one on 360, bar some tough sections (partially caused by moronic ai at times), but was a fun little parody, just got a bit rinse and repeat towards the end, so will definately check this out, as there should be more budget, and more design ambition

Thanks for the heads up, first game was awsome, just wish it was longer, it has a dungeon keeper type humour, always the best ;-)

Which bits did you find tricky?

I seem to remember struggling with the sewers

I can't completely remember, it was a few months back I got round to finally completing it, needless to say it hasn't ruined my memory of the game, just remember it having some bits you'd almost always loose stuff on no matter what you did, dwarven bit comes to mind for example.

Gah! Gold only! ********!

Played the demo on PS3 at the weekend, never heard of Overlord before but definitely on my buy list now!

Uber bump!

Got so far with this game and tbh I ****ing quit!

So fiddly, moronic 'puzzles', tedious combat, stupid mounts, sluggish framerate, worse story than the original and totally nerfed spells :/

The section I'm stuck on for anyone thats played is the elevator after the Spider Queen fight....soul destroyingly annoying

Do you have the PS3/360 version...I've yet to find a review which tells me which version of the game is better (if there is one)

Psymonkee · 2 Oct 2009 at 00:26

360

Framerate goes from lethargic to acceptable in a split second (usually when casting magic!) but generally feels sluggish

Got past the bit I was stuck on too although a load of nonsense was required along with a ton of luck :/
