Overlord Review

Overlord takes everything you think you know about the fantasy genre and turns it upside down, then adds a dash of mild violence, a splash of toilet humour and a twisted storyline. The Minions are a novel creation and ensure Overlord's gameplay is like nothing else on Xbox 360. Commanding the chattering mass of destruction is thrilling and it never becomes tiresome, thanks to different Minion types and the urge drive to collect new or bizarre weapons and armour for them. Admittedly the puzzles are a little linear and there are times when you're required to backtrack through levels, plus the simple multiplayer will hardly set the Live world on fire. But if you're looking for a barrel of laughs and a game that's both interesting and fun at the same time, prepare to bow down to Overlord.
