Studio: Codemasters
Have you ever dreamt of being god-like? Ever wanted to have mental control over a horde of minions who are willing to kill for you a the snap of your fingers? Well, Triumph Studios and Codemasters have collaborated to bless the world with a second installment of their Overlord title. I'll openly admit I never played the first one...or even heard of it for that matter, but I'm definitely into Overlord II. Give it a good hour and you'll be addicted. You play a young magical prodigy that has the power to control these gremlin looking creatures called Minions. The game starts with you wreaking havoc all over this small village. Then these Spartan looking dudes want to kill you. It was fun using their catapult and straight bombing fools. I eventually got to control this King Kong-looking gorilla and even got my goblins a pack of wolves to ride. I didn't get too far into the magic side of the game. All I could do was shoot lightning out my hands. As far as role playing/adventure games go, Overlord II is a good concept, easy to get the hang of, and fun to play. The Teen rating might fit some the content, it seems off target considering the level of difficulty in this game.
