Overlord II Video Review by GameSpot

[ayyb13]

i wish they made overlord 3

[SocialGamingGuy]

Reminds me somehow of fable hmmm.

[xjustin523x]

haha wow.. i had no idea this game is just a pikmin rip off

[torba23]

to be honest, the dude who reviewed Overlord1 wanted me to buy the game, and he was fun to lissen to, but this dude that reviewed overloard2 was so god damn borring, now I barrly want to buy this game :S

seriously gamespot, use more persons like the dude who reviewed overlord1

[TheDrunkenMantis]

I ended up getting the Overlord pack on steam for 5$. Is it worth it to play the first one and the DLC first?

I am a fan of playing the first game to get a better appreciation for the second game, but from what I hear the gameplay is repetitive, and I don't really want to get bored before I play the second one.

[leekayjin]

pause at 0:09 :O

[Sorgkald]

i rulles in overlord my favorit game i never tougth about "problems" the game is awsome the only thing that anoys me is that it is hard to target things sometimes

[tHeOwner667]

i skipped forward few secs like 5-6 times

all i heard each time was *minions*

[tardoin97]

I want to buy this game so much

[Atradees69]

@tardoin97 5 dollars on steam right now

[MultiCaliban]

is it just me or does the character you play as in this remind you of the lich king off WoW?

[PownSquad]

@MultiCaliban yea and the lich king reminds of the witch king in lord of the rings.whats your point???

[xdddre]

Christ, such a wet voice.

[lannazazaz]

lmao i love the music!! i definitely wanna buy this game XD

[klaos9999]

good review but sorry dude terrible voice over.

[RondoRaven]

This is still a slick game in 2011

[MexiGhettoCat]

i bought this game for the xbox 360 when it came out, and i still had fun when i played it today

[BL4D3RUNN3R0M3N]

Thumbs up if you're here for the Steam sale :p

[UltraMagnus6991]

@BL4D3RUNN3R0M3N

[marat271]

@BL4D3RUNN3R0M3N Which one? The one 5 months ago or today's?

[BL4D3RUNN3R0M3N]

@marat271 Both are applicable, but this was the one 5 months ago, Lol.

[marat271]

@marat271 Is it just me or has this game been on sale like every 3th or 4th month?

[walkthroughsandmusic]

its on sale now,but it dosent look too good.should i buy it?

[nofx6678]

Steam sale: £1.75

[Grunklefang]

remembered this game's existence, going to gamestop right now to pick it up, Overlord was one of the greatest fun-oriented games ever, a refreshing change from the serious gore / blood / murder of many of today's games.

[Donkey0Madness]

yh thats why its much better on pc



[IgnasKuliesiusTV]

I got this game, couz I wanted to control a powerful and evil being that looked like Sauron from LOTR :)

[shadeWSPA]

Pfft, the camera is easy to control. Push forward on the right stick to sweep minions or move left/right to move camera. What's so hard about that? As for managing your minions... That's the POINT of the GAME... And learn to pronounce minions will ya?

[cloudzers777]

wait, shud i get the second or first one?

[TheN1k2]

dun dun danana

[TheGeorgeClooney]

There isn't a camera issue on the PC version

[jemsuper]

if you have problems with the camera, go play on the pc.

or think a fix yourself

[TheCommunist100]

Is this game worth getting ? Cuse I tried the demo from Steam, but I could not cause the yeti to get off the boats of where he was tossing barrels at me, and my minions could not seem to climb onto the dock on the left of the second boat he jumped on to. I hope thats a glitch of the demo, and not part of the game :P Also I get some graphic lag from, so I might have to uninstall some things. Then again, I hope it's only the demo and not my computer :X

[youtububie]

@TheCommunist100 The demo is garage compared to the real game, trust me.

[TheCommunist100]

@youtububie Ok, good, thanks for telling me, because I was beginning to worry :P

[killer21334]

@TheCommunist100 you probobly got it by now but you need to destroy the boats by cutting some cables not send your minions on the boats

[TheCommunist100]

@killer21334 Oh ? I see. I did not get the game, as I am going to need a faster computer, which will be on Saturday. This comp for morden games is shit, so yeah.

[Brasilgamer2010]

@TheCommunist100 It's one of the best games ever

[TheCommunist100]

@Brasilgamer2010 Oh ? I havent bought it. I probably wont :P I tried the demo, not my style, really. No blood no gore, no go :P well, imho.

[OldHavenAnton]

$1.50 off steam

definitely warrants a buy

[PressXtonotdie]

I like how the major complaint [controls] aren't a problem for us pc users ^_^

[105ert]

came from lord of the rings the helmt

[jakaloverlord]

@105ert

the witch king?

overlord is cooler.

[WickedMuis]

@vincient66 the entire Overlord pack is just 3 euros even!

[lehmkade]

The Lich King was not the first to wear a helmet such as this.

[MadskillZ537]

@lehmkade actully he was....

[goldgod71]

great.... a legion of fluffly seals -.-

[Mattebubben]

overlord 1 and 2 in the complete overlord pack only costs 6 eu!!

[manciuxl1]

@Mattebubben but its only on pc :(

[SpudAlmighty]

@manciuxl1 Well you wouldnt get a sale like that for console would you...

[manciuxl1]

@SpudAlmighty no mather im buiyng the game for pc even if i only have a shit laptop

[SpudAlmighty]

@manciuxl1 if it's reassuring Overlord works quite nicely on low spec pc's, obviously not on high but it still runs nice. I was playing at work on my laptop last night lol.

[9cloudersprofile]

@manciuxl1 ERRRR wrong,bought it today for 360.

[manciuxl1]

@9cloudersprofile i know this game is on console

but not as cheap as the pc version was a week ago

[mumser12]

pikmin'ish

[yeahmitch]

@#$!ing ads, youtube is going to lose a viewer

[brandonsexywhitaker]

@yeahmitch youtube, or should say google dont care.

[Iamlicc]

why diden't they take with the good looking babes that you can find?

[coldplayfannr1]

EPIC GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!

[PureOwnification]

I call for OVERLORD 3!!!

[APE258]

@PureOwnification they have to make more co-op survival maps first though =^P

[wisejord1]

this game is much better than the first

[CitizeninsaneGA]

why does the overlord helmet look THE SAME as the lich kings??????

[frumpy10182]

@CitizeninsaneGA because.....because.....

[Kyuubbikiller]

@CitizeninsaneGA maybe they're brothers

[111axa1]

i hope that for overlord 3 they dont make the story line like how assasins creet 2 did :O

[vcwsmit]

omg... shoot the guy who invented all those annoying sounds in the first 5 seconds..

[Ryanpbny]

wow this guy has no idea whats goin on he is like the minions are bad no they are good no they are bad no they are good no they are ok but sometimes they are bad

[ilikechoco888]

is 40 the cap limit in this game?

[toxictoddy]

@ilikechoco888 50 i think

[killboydxb]

@ilikechoco888 noo...

[ilikechoco888]

@killboydxb lol ty for the very useful info

[gman1225]

I love the game! Reminds me of Warhammer....

[Pupixario]

Killing baby seals AHAHaHhahahahhahAhAha I died here

[Shlunty]

dont know what you mean, i club baby seals on a daily basis and still havent been arested :D

[cenetor69]

@branemark dude just simply get a better mouse it works fine for me.

[branemark]

the good: mass destruction, funny characters and dialogues, great variety of missions, i would say a pretty good plot, and FUCKING CRAZY MINIONS

the bad: stupid mouse (yes i play on pc, for me the mouse sometimes just bugs and gets stuck in a commnad like i keep making them come back or go. also dont even get me started with trying to sweep your minios in manual mode)

[souleater771]

I would love a new overlord where there are 10 overlords and each control an empire. You have to run around destroying the other empires and taking them over. I would love that

[169Phoenix]

These type of games is best to play on PC with mouse and keyboard...Controller just doesnt work well.

[ghostbbgg]

@169Phoenix bullshit i have played the game on both ps3 and PC I can say that it's a lot better when using a controller :)

[thatguyavcam]

man i hope overlord 3 comes out!!!!!!!! itd be awesome or like giant overlord wars with up to 8 overlords with like 60 minions each

[biacth911]

what is the max number of the minions you could command

[bylligamekid]

@biacth911 i do belive it's 100 but im not sure,though.

[edelskovknight]

Smal imp minions ^^ so cute so awesome so funny

[leinadssab]

just wanna say.

pc wins

[leinadssab]

@leinadssab let the flame war begin

[Mysio]

PC vs consoles? Dont know which will win but check those numbers...

CoD: MW2 14 milion copies sold. Pc - 1,3 milion copies; PS3+X360 rest.

Guess which way developers will go?

[Muzishan2]

@Mysio thats bullshit stats since MW2 doesnt use dedicated servers instead uses the console server/matchup system. of COURSE its gonna sell more on console. plus for pc its a pain in the ass. by ur method i could do a comparison console vs pcs using a game like source, and pc's would win. i personally prefer pc's, cause fps and rpg feel and look horrid in console. and the only reason consoles are becoming more popular for the mainstream is cause idiots who think consoles are cool.

[Mysio]

@Muzishan2 well thats not a matter of your taste but taste of average consumer. Average consumer plays on console not pc. Only hardocre dedicated players play on PC.

[Muzishan2]

@Mysio well, i will agree that the AVERAGE consumer plays on console, not pc. but you are 100% wrong when u say that only hardcore dedicated gamers play on pc. i know plenty of pc gamers, who are MOST DEFINITELY not hardcore, nor are they dedicated.

[bylligamekid]

@Mysio only 1 game?impressing >.>

[xxxmikeyxxxx]

this game is not that funny they tried to hard if the game was rated M then maybe it would have been a lot more funny

[Kaizer88Kanzler]

I think both console & PC will survive through the end of times, RTS + FPS game will still thrive in PC, while fighting + action game will thrive in console, actually the one who make console alive are JAPs developer with their legendary games like FF or MGS or Mario or Zelda or Metroid or else, imagine if Japs developer can make a GREAT PC game too? console will dying too but Japs dev make console survive! Looks what happened in Atari crash! Its PC who emerge as game platform too be4 Nintendo

[hadephobiac]

PC: Any game for free assuming you arent a retard, which 90% of console only games are. Better frames per second with a good PC than ANY console Easy to play online Better controls Easier to access/change games More for your $, a good gaming PC runs photoshop perfectly Huge choice of casual, free, open source Easy downloads, no discs needed Play music/ run other programs whilst gaming Benefits of console: Makes you think you're cool

[kayele]

@ClosetoPerfect.

Yes I am. The highest res a plasma can get is 1080p. Well my laptop is 1920x1080 and it's not even alienware. The only advantage a console has over PC is that it's convenient. It doesn't require any learning curve, you just pop in your game and play.With a PC you may have to map ur btns.That's it. Other than that a PC will pawn any console for free. I can't believe there are still idiots out there that don't know this.Not to mention every game released on PC has be rated better

[kayele]

EDIT: I meant to say every game BROUGHT over to PC has been rated better

[a7fa7x]

i love clubbing baby seals!!!

[HLTroast]

@a7fa7x the seals can look into your soul! exterminate them!

[david000009]

As I said an average computer like mine for example needs an upgrade every 6 years just like any Console. (PS2 was released in the year 2000 and PS3 was released in 2006) So it's not really the matter of saving money. But again, as I said PC has more advantages. So I don't understand why everyone is complaining about their financial problem... Clearly alot of people havent done their research because this debate began with an IDIOT and alot of others contributed to the subject...

[david000009]

This stupid ass arguement has gone long enough, time to end it without too much explanation but the use of common sense...

PC is simply better than any console. It's so simple it's almost like general knowledge. You'd have to be a fucking retard to not figure that out so I'm not gonna go in detail and specificly explain why so.

Sure Consoles beat PC in some categories but PC has the overall advantages. PC is far more advanced and will always remain at the top...simple

[NazgulPrince]

I'm not so sure about that dude. The PC is dying and fast. I estimate that in the next 10 years the PC will have been phased out for gaming. The reality is that people can't afford good gaming PC's and they could just buy a console with similar graphical performance for much cheaper. I used to be a PC gamer but I have saved at least $500 a year from not buying constant upgrades and I am enjoying my gaming experience just as much as I did on the PC. I really like my PS3.

[david000009]

Theres no need to buy constant upgrades if you buy the right ones.. No need for branded quality products, as long as you know your shit then you should be fine by buying low priced stuff that works and will last you acouple of years. My last upgrade was about 4 years ago and my computer can run anything the gaming industry throws at it so far. However it will need an upgrade in probably 2 more years when games surpass my computer specs.

So thats 6 years every upgrade for me.

[NazgulPrince]

I just think it's ridiculous that there still isn't a single graphics card that can play Crysis at 60 FPS.

[kayele]

@Nazgul, not true.

It's not just the grapics card that determines FPS, it has a lot to do with your processor

[NazgulPrince]

That is bullshit. As long as you have the outlined processor in the system requirements you can play at full potential. Unless you have a really bad CPU the graphics card won't do much. How about you look around, the graphics card takes most of the stress from playing games. That myth was just made by people who had i7's but had a really bad GPU.

[kayele]

goodness gracious. it takes most but not all. You can have a great card and a shitty processor and your games will look great but run crappy. Deal with emulators at all?

[NazgulPrince]

Yeah I understand what you are saying there that is true. I thought you were saying that the CPU did most of the work.

[rebornile]

PC is dying and fast????What bullshit is this,the pc built the videogames world,its been around for 50 years and its not dying!!!!!

[kayele]

All a console is, is a dumb PC. It's a no brain-er, PC will ALWAYS be better. A consoles are good for sole console releases, but once it's on PC, it will pawn any release on any console.

[CloseToPerfect]

so your saying that using your pc screen is better then hd plasma tv? or that the console add ons like xbox live isnt worth while? yeah...pc's has everything all the consoles have to offer..your smart

[SushiBoi7]

@CloseToPerfectyou can hook up your pc to your plasma tv and in some games you do have a live interface...and more....shows how smart YOU are

[fastdanmad333]

is there rain in overlord 2?

[kayele]

It's the overlord 2 theme

[MICHAELSSJ4]

Whats the name of the soundtrack playing in the background?

[ps3fan123100]

i just got the game its good i never try the nonline cuz i playcod6 alot loool psn coolf2333

[UkeRenji]

Overlord needs to be an M game so it can play even better.

[Dakashizzlenizzle]

*sigh* when are they going to add to overlord what it actually needs...

[baggeghfreak]

this game is much much much...much better on pc

[dgdbg]

Everything is much better on the PC tbh.

[garrettchap1]

thats true... 0.5 percent of the time

[dgdbg]

yeah,true - who needs graphics (which are always superior on the pc) controls( especialy for rts and fps) and tons of downloadables,mods made for the pc.

[penky6303]

I hope they will make overlord 3 with blood,than itl be even more sick XD

[grkpektis]

I think its better if the overlord doesn't talk. Great game

[10Maloy]

lol i thought game was grt besides the fact after i won there was nothing to do =/

[trilerkiler]

game is awesome i am big fan but 1st one was more magical and fable. I dont understand why is first one always the best. But this game is underrated.

[karriu277]

hwo do get more than 15 minions!!!???

[jposchido]

is this not on the 360 ??? or its on pc ps3 and 360

[thealexman2]

It is on the Xbox 360.

[Bub1029]

Oh man they made the game easier than the first one.

Well, I guess it can make up for itself with the added content.

[spardasoldier]

we have to kill a panda bear oh well this game is very fun i'm getting it today i already know it's better than part 1 :)

[liesje9876]

looks a bit fabelish...cute character design

[liesje9876]

was da joh?

[liesje9876]

oh kheb et aandachtshoer ....1500 views voor zo'n brol....slim gevonden

[hottekerstbabe]

waar heb je t over?

[georgey26]

WTF ITS AWFUL!!!!

[davidl0722]

Storyline?

[jseth03]

im not sure wether i should get this game or red faction guerilla

[aqworldstheprofecy]

I dont know its up to you i have both red faction has a huge world and it has the most realistic destruction thingy like how you destroy things but i haven't played overlord yet bcos I don't have a ps3 where i am now but i will be able to play it tomorrow but judgin by the time you posted that comment you have already made a decision.

[jseth03]

yh i did lol, but i chose to go with this offer i saw. i picked up halo 3 and forza 2 realy cheap plus they threw in 2 extra games which were mass effect and another copy of forza 2 for free. it was a realy good deal

[astaroth99]

Both of these games are good, plus there is DLC coming! Yay!

[AKSsasori]

this game is brilliant. freaking brilliant.

[BranerNinja]

Loved the game so much i played it twice.

[alanoasiss]

doh! this game needs blood dude you know..

[IgotthatDMT]

This game was to annoying to be fun.

[brewcitybroker]

It's "too" dipshit. You get used to the controls- I can see if you pick it up as a rental and don't have much time or don't have the attention span to learn something more complicated then your basic shooter. I would pick up the 1st one if you haven't on ebay or at your local shop for around $10 - give it some tiime. If you don't like it then sell it back.

[truslayer123]

u are idiot

[LynxRecover]

coming from the man with no gramatical sense what-so-ever it probably means nothing to him.

[DarkwaveIrou]

The drawbacks aren't really that noticeable. Its a good game. Not great, but worth being played at least once if not twice.

[EpicPS3OWNER]

minions are the most awesome characters of all games!!! They are funny, looks awesome!!

[AJ100885]

i hate when people give speeches and stuff when they are thirsty, you can tell when you hear their lips smacking all the time. this guy should have had lunch before making this video

[Fenorn]

Hah hah

[Acornoa]

you can club baby seals in Canada.

[FrozenStarkiller]

Me gonna buy :) my ps3 needs new food and overlord 2 will be next xD

[ravenshield56]

looks boring

[SoraFan24]

And also,the team that worked on Overlord 2 said one of their goals were:

"To offend as many groups and Ideologies as possible,so nobody felt discriminated against"

[SoraFan24]

I thought the graphics could of used some work and some of the animation seemed...off. But I thought this game was really fun game-play wise

[snowmans30]

Love the music =)

[Huysavampire]

i thought the new overlord was the old overlord's son.
