Overlord really blows

I wasted my time this morning downloading the overlord demo which I have to say I didn't really have high hope for anyway but my thought were confirmed when I just played the demo. The very first thing I noticed was the graphics whilst not so bad there is nothing about them that is good the graphics look sketchy whilst not the worst I've seen on the system there pritty bad. The next thing that I noticed and became an instant annoyance was the conrol scheme which is goo for controling you little minion friends (who by the way are funny but there voices already began to annoyme) they are trerrible for exploring as the right stick will not allow you to look around but rather lets you take control of the minions which poses problems with the camera angle and does not allow you to see around you and look at where you are going. The game from the looks of it is very linear follw the little weal marked out path any path that is too small for you to cross use your minions simple really.

Overall the demo wasn't a dissapointment because I expected nothing from it but the demo certainaly wast very good, a poor control scheme poor graphics very linear game play and realy no satisfaction from just allowing your minions to do stuff for you the game also doesn't make you feel all powerful and evil. The game just feels like a poor idea executed very badly luckly there are loads of other good games coming out so this is no big loss at all.

hmm, that's too bad. I can't say I was waiting for the game...but, I was hoping for a decent game to pick up from now till august when Bioshock/Blue Dragon releases.

FYI...the Tenchu Z demo is also horrible. I've been a fan of the series since Tenchu 1 on the playstation (not a nut...I just enjoyed the game despite its flaws). This one however, is unacceptable. I wouldn't waste time downloading this one either.

Dude, it's a free demo and you can do other things while it's downloading.  Love or hate the game, getting the demo from Live shouldn't waste your time.  Look at the bright side:  a free demo saved you 60 bucks, or at least the cost of a rental. 

Anywho, I do agree that the controls are a bit awkward, but otherwise, I like the game.  The demo might not be fully optimized yet, either -- the games almost a month away, right?   

Yeah sure all I'm saying is that instead of downloading it I could have been playing shadowrun but I wanted to try this game so I patiently waited for it, anyway the game is out on the 29th which is at the end of this month which basicaly means if theey stick to that date there won't be any changes to any of the graphics gameplay or anything like that it will be the same really but yep at least I saved some cash.ihateyou_right

You can play games while you download things. 

after playing the demo, i have added it to my must buy list.etbny22

Same here. Controlling the minions and burning innocents in flames are a blast. Muhahaha. :D I loved the demo.
