Overlord Reviews

The weekend brings us two more favorable reviews of Codemasters and Triumph Studios' Overlord. The first is at Hooked Gamers with an overall score of 8/10:
In the end, Overlord is a pleasant mix of RTS and RPG elements with a twisted sense of humor that will certainly attract more than a few fans. Despite its limited replay value and few hiccups with controls, Overlord compensates with its innovation, well written voice acting and addictive gameplay. The bottom line is that the game, simply put, is fun! If you were a fan of the Dungeon Keeper series or you just like the idea of having the power of dozens of little hyper active minions at your fingertips, then you may just want to give this title a try.

While the other is at Computer Games Romania with an overall score of 85/100:
Overlord is a great game. Even though it has a few quirks, it has something that most titles today lack: originality. The producers should be commended for their risk-taking in an industry that just promotes putting new shines on old gaming concepts. Also, the script is wonderful, with every line being another joke - it's all connected to your progress in the game and keeps you immersed in the story. So go on, choose the dark side. We have cookies and minions!
