An excerpt from 1UP's article:
Personally, I felt a lack of investment in the first Overlord character, given that he just sort of sprang fully formed into a flower of adult bastardry. In Overlord 2, however, we get a new head jerk, and this time we get to guide him through his childhood. Or, at least the bit where his peers reject him and the little tyke gets delicious vengeance upon them with the help of his hellish gremlin buddies. It's the kind of thing everyone spent at least half their grade school sentence fantasizing about.
And an excerpt from TeamXbox's article:
As the game goes on, you get more minions to help with larger tasks (and enemies), but there are also four different types of minions, as in the first game, for specific purposes. For example, the green minions have the ability to be nearly invisible, making them stealthy agents to send off on missions where not being detected is a big benefit. We were also told that, at various points in the game, minions will be able to ride other creatures for improved mobility and other benefits. Again, to look at the green minions, they're able to ride on the backs of spiders, which then gives them the ability to walk up vertical walls.
