Well this has been under my radar for a while and now that I finally got, I'm exited and it meets plus passes my expectations. I had thought this could be a good game but something was gonna go wrong that I wouldn't like. But it's fun, funny and beautiful. There isn't another game on the 360 like it. It's a well balanced mixed of exploration, RTS like fighting, some action with you the overlord, and lots of fun. The minions and other races of the game bring a lot of character. The races themselves may not be original, but their personalities are what makes them part of this game. All the little noises your minions make, makes the experience that much more realistic and enjoyable. The RPG elements are simple, with upgrading your overlord, his weapons, armor and spells. Also the size of your minion horde grows as you play, eventually being able to command 50. Nice puzzles add the rich and varied gameplay. The whole theme is so well done and full of life, it's easy to get hooked on every little interesting detail they added. The camera is not bad it's only different them most other games. Just tap a button to move the camera behind you overlord. Also, locking on fixes the problem. Online play also fits the style of the game bringing different modes you've probably never played before. Enjoy dominating this vibrant fantasy world.
