Overlord has some good ideas. and it is pretty,even on standard def, but dumb things like no camera control mar it alot.

Overlord's camera is crap. mainly because it's virtually non existent. you can center ur vision with the right trigger, but that also happens to be one button that send your minions off to attack...so it's fortunate you pretty much just decimate everything you see in the game, but particularly in boss battles this can be problematic. it doesn't make much sense to sacrifice minions just so u can reset the camera to have to in turn run back to a portal and spawn more minions.

it's almost like the game is fighting you as much as bosses from time to time.

that aside the concept is novel and implemented well. all the mechanics are there and the game has a fantastical design on par with the better lord of the rings games....if you can manage to see it.

it's worth a rental, but little more, unless you're really an evil overlord yourself.
