2008-08-14 11:10:56 Overlord 2 announced

I didn't mind the first one. So interested to see what this one has to offer.

2008-08-14 11:27:46

I liked Overlord a lot so this is just great to me :) I just hope they make the gameplay mechanics a wee bit more diverse this time around.

Very nice! Superb art style.

The gameplay essentially consisted of telling your guys where to go. Thats about it... The "Overlord" you play as is weak as fuck. IF they make the game more engaging and give the player more to do, I might consider it. Beyond that this game is nothing to me but fail.

The control of minions is the game's thing. It won't do to make the Overlord all powerfull and full of abilities because then the game's uniqueness will be gone.

I liked the first game, and if they can improve on it maybe I'll love the sequel.

It's good to see a game that doesn't look like Gear of War every once in a while :)

I like the style!

2008-08-14 13:03:23

The style was very similar to Fable, and it even had a lot of the same problems. There wasn't enough freedom, you were pretty much stuck on a straight path for the whole thing. If it were less linear, more like Pikmin it would have been a lot more enjoyable.

That damn Seal is about to get the **** knocked out of him. The Seal is so innocent and doesn't know what the **** is about to happen.

this was basically the pikmin for the non nintendo owner. and i enjoyed it up to a point. for me to be ven remotely interested in this one, they need to make the controls more streamlined and accessible. cos the first game was complex as hell.

2008-08-14 21:45:05

OOOh yeah!!!

I loooooved the first one....this is a must have for me

the first had some funny moments....

CANT WAiT!!!

WinterSnowblind: i don't agree at all, i do however think that they could have made the gameplay a bit more approachable by making the controlls simpler and also to add some diversity to the game. As it is now all the missions are the same, more or less and it get monotonous after a while. It's like fetch this item then kill the boss and there's never anything else. And since you basically just point the minions to their goal and then they do the work, it's not very involving and gets pretty old after about half the game. But all in all i had a fun time with overlord, though i had to take a month long break inbetween the halves of the game.

Man it's Overlord overload! 3 brand new Overlord games all on different systems? The first one was awesome, and all 3 of these look sweet. I can't believe how good the DS version looks, and I'm very pleased with the Fable-level graphics for the Wii version. Nice to see some good 3rd party efforts on the Wii for a change.

I hope this one has more interesting stuff to do at your tower etc (stuff to build and so on). And i hope that it will let you play the game the way YOU want to, rather than like the later stages of the first game where you were forced to use the water imps for example for certain parts. I hate being forced to use specific things, just makes it seem like a puzzle game rather than a game where you control hordes of imps. And if its just gonna be a puzzle game, why not just replace the imps with cards or whatever :P

Played this on the 360 and loved it!

2008-08-15 06:05:55

Yea not every game needs to be open-ended. Linear games allow for more puzzles and I think this game looks great. Also, I agree with whoever mentioned Prince of Persia...the first one on the xbox was a really good linear game
