From what we've seen of the game so far, it definitely has some great points. The off-beat humour, the funny quotes (such as those that are used as paragraph headers), the reverse-Lord of the Rings story, the audio and the use of the '˜sweeping' function are all good. The control system (especially with the camera control) could use a bit of tweaking prior to release, and the graphics, whilst decent, may not be up to the standards of other games on the market. And in saying that, Overlord is definitely in a tough category, with games such as Oblivion, the Tomb Raider Anniversary edition and even the Lord of the Rings Online likely to have a similar target audience.
