Overlord has gotten some mixed reviews. I guess the main issue is the camera which some people hate and most people tolerate.

Indeed it has. Controls have also been an issue some reviewers complained about (more in the PC version than 360) Overall seems to be a legitely decent game with some technical short comings and odd gameplay mechanics. To many games that interest me more atm to even consider buying this anytime soon, but maybe down the road when its 30$ ill pick it up.

That's about in-line with what I expected. I may pick this one up at some point.

Since they changed the review system a 7.5 might be better than before and their average rating. Im not to interested in this game with all the releases coming up.

What releases coming up? The next decent game coming out (that isn't a sports game) is Two Worlds which comes out at August.

What the hell....it was 6.5 a few days ago why did they change it? That's the first time I've ever seen that happen.

It was 6.5 for PC, and the PC review rating was changed because Gamespot reviewed a version of the game that was missing things that the retail release had. So they went out and bought a retail version of the game, and adjusted the score.

It's a fair review for the most part. I've given it an 8.5, though, as the camera hasn't been that much of a problem. It just takes a bit of time to get used to.

It's pretty interesting. One thing to note, though, is that it isn't quite as evil as you'd think... but I guess I'm playing conservatively. I'm at 1% evil -_- Only killed 2 innocent people so far... my next play through I'll be completely evil. The story is interesting because you assume a roleopposite the norm. It's worth a buy, I'd say, because of its uniqueness, its length, and its gameplay.Plus it does have some live support and the promise of DLC... S'all good!

That just reminds me how much we need the old review system. The review is good but, damn, the score is just not the same.

i love the game it has humor and the length, and uniqueness makes it worth a buy imho. Personally i wish they would made it an 8.0 because it is really a special game so far on the 360.

Nah, some people can beat it in a rent. I play through games pretty slow since I have so many to finish, so I usually have to buy em.
