IGN: Overlord: Raising Hell Hands-On

IGN writes: If you enjoy the occasional spot of slaughtering innocent villagers with a horde of loyal, evil minions, Overlord was probably your scene. Hitting the 360 almost a year ago, Overlord put you in the menacing boots of a dark warrior who had complete control over a host of mischievous little creatures, bent on reclaiming glory for their master. Focusing more emphasis on the powers of your minions as opposed to your own character, Overlord delivered a reasonably fun experience but was hampered by some technical problems.

Now, Overlord is heading to Sony's current console in the form of Overlord: Raising Hell, an expanded edition of the original title that includes all the downloadable content that was offered to 360 owners. If you've had a bit of a craving for magic, destruction and a devilish sense of humor, this may be the game for you. We had the chance to take Overlord: Raising Hell out for a spin. Although we're not usually the ones jumping onto the sinister bandwagon, let's take a look at what being evil is all about.

Such a under rated game, nothing funnier than smacking the hell out of your own evil minions and killing the innocent, and not needlessly complicated.

I highly recommend all PS3 owners to buy or rent this. Its an extremely fun game with witty dialogue and cutscenes, and the multiplayer is pretty fun and chaotic too.

I like the demo... I'm going 2 give a try'

GamerMan6577d ago

When i first saw the demo I thought it was going to be pretty stupid. The only downside is the loading screens to this game, but there is strategy in how you use your minions which I really like and the story seems to be somewhat slap shtick engaging.

I definitely like there bumps while loading and I do enjoy a good kick to the jester which I think was a nice touch. If anyone is old enough and watched Dark Crystal it reminds me of that style of humor.

I will most likely pick this game up, not immediately as I'm too busy with other games but when I get some down time from my games it will then get added to my collection.

Btw, Zombie Shooter 2 just came out on steam too. It's basically Alien Shooter 2 Reloaded but zombies. I bought it for $10 but the Alien version just seems a lot better. Buy it later for less... like when it drops to $5.

So much for the MW2 boycott.

Jamescagney6034d ago

Yeah must be all talk, because every single pc gamer in the world was going to boycott it aye?

Or maybe it was a small minority.
