Advantages: new concept, great graphics & sound, the kool goblins Disadvantages: complicated, too much controls confuse the gamer
Overlord may be on of the most innovative games Codemasters have ever produced. The game is seriously evil, and you can choose to be more evil in the game as you are already the evil overlord, the leader of a number of goblins who await your commands. The fairy tales just seems to have taken a twist here, as you are to fight the "evil" halflings, elves and dwarves in their homelands, who were on the side of good in most of the stories and the ones ... ...You had been an overlord for a long time, and ruled the whole land until some heroes overthrew, killed your minions and destroyed your tower and you lost its heart, the source of your power. You had been sleeping ever since then, and now as you have woken up, you have to claim everything which belonged to you once. You won't be alone out there, as your minions will accompany you, and there is a goblin character Gnarl, who will give you some advice ...

Advantages: great game mechanics animation and graphics Disadvantages: too short only 35 hours of gamplay
ok, where to start.
overlord has been in the build for a few years now. coming into the spotlight mere months ago the once sceptical critics have found the pickmin style game to be a whole lot more. the game is set in an unknown time, where there once was an overlord (you) who ruled the land. but a group of seven heroes overthrew you and destroyed your domain. however there power went to there heads and corruption overthrew them, you must now awake ... ...are four main maps in overlord and each one plays on various fairytales and storeys. during the course of the storey you will also discover the additional desert map. although the maps seem small in theory its quite easy to get lost in practice, as along with the main roads there are pathways and rivers to follow, alowwing access to various missions and places. the linear game style is broken up making the game seem free roam which greatly adds to ...

Advantages: Good Fun Disadvantages: Not evil enough
I can honestly say that Overlord has been a new and refreshing experience for a hardened gamer like myself (by hardened i mean someone who spends most of his free time gaming, and the rest thinking about gaming). Sad heh?
Although the idea behind the game (being as bad as you can in a fantasy world) is similar to some previous well known tiltles there are details which i find compelling.
Firstly the story. Simple but effective is the phrase which ... ...old one was beaten by a band of heroes and his tower of evil destroyed. Your task is to gain revenge over those heroes who are now a little evil themselves and restore the glory of your evil tower tower.
Gameplay is fun as you complete your come back with the aid of loyal minions. These minions obey your every command as you explore the attractive landscape completing missions. They are so loyal that they litterally jump into a fire if you send ...

Advantages: You will keep playing it for healthy period Disadvantages: Very high requirements even though, in some countries its cover says something else
The game is evil alright ! you start from a destroyed castle with a side kick cute goblin, and another cute joker goblin to practice your fighting skills on even though later in the game you have access to gladiator arena. The story line is great and fun, basically you want to be EVIL ! but instead you help people in a evil way and people are the main source of your missions from time to time, not just that you can create armies of different kinds ... ...powers.The games graphics are great, sounds are also great, but I dont understand why have they rated it to be difficult, I personally did not find it to be complex or difficult its a simple game with a load of fun, the only downside is that it cannot run on computers slower then 1.0 Gs, 256 Ram, 128 VGA ! ...
