Some people may compare overlord to fable but it's two different types of games with different gameplay styles. However if you ask me fable is the better choice, but that doesn't mean this one isn't good either. In the beginning, the game might seem so-so but later it get's addictive and very fun, at least in my opinion. It takes place in a fantasy land where you are the new overlord of evil and must begin your conquest over the land. The more evil deeds you do the more evil you and vice versa. In the game it's not your character that does all the work it's your minions. They fight to the death and return object to you and some use for themselves. At first you can only control five but later you can control a max of fifty. You CANNOT beat the game without them so use them wisely. Also your overlord can cast a variety of spells which are determined by how evil or good you are in the game. The game is fairly easy depending on how you use your minions. Also the game isn't very long, it's about 10 hours or so. The graphics are pretty good and the sound is great. The game is humorous and Overall is an awesome game. If your into fantasy you should buy it but if your not, rent it or just don't play it at all.
