I've included the concluding statement for you lazy buggers:
QUOTE
Overlord takes everything you think you know about the fantasy genre and turns it upside down, then adds a dash of mild violence, a splash of toilet humour and a twisted storyline. The Minions are a novel creation and ensure Overlord's gameplay is like nothing else on Xbox 360. Commanding the chattering mass of destruction is thrilling and it never becomes tiresome, thanks to different Minion types and the urge drive to collect new or bizarre weapons and armour for them. Admittedly the puzzles are a little linear and there are times when you're required to backtrack through levels, plus the simple multiplayer will hardly set the Live world on fire. But if you're looking for a barrel of laughs and a game that's both interesting and fun at the same time, prepare to bow down to Overlord.
8.1/10
'nuff said.
Buy it.
Play it.

Yes. Its RPG~.. talking about RPG... I really need to know how to play multiplayer on it~.
is not a MMORPG right ?
No lah bros djinn and judge, it's not an RPG
It's just like a third person action-strategy combo where you control minions (think of them like friendly AI). Remember that game a couple years ago? Freedom Fighters? It's like that. You have objectives, then you use your minions to help you get those objectives.
I just finished downloading the demo and finally tried it out. Wicked stuff (in a good way). The game is great. Hmmm ... what will happen if i kill the villagers

Ya...it's a RPG meet RTS. The game is very fun, my only complain is the control. The only way for you to change camera angle is left bumper because right thumbstick is taken for sweeping minion. Abit troublesome sometimes.
Other than that, rebuilding your tower is great! It gives you the sense of achievement everytime you bring back an object or something for your tower...you can see the progression.
Got my first mistress!!! Oddly, she haven't change to her "SM outfit" i saw in the trailer. Probably she is still packing in her room... Her current medieval clothes aint that bad... *the sm outfit i am referring to.
Achievement i got...

You can get your first mistress at the Heaven's Peak quest. The peasant in the town will talk about it as the mysterious lady. Her name is Rose though..

Doesn't matter, later there are some quest that give you the option (the FOOD quest, being one). If you do good, it will decrease some evilness of you & vice versa...just like Fable. (it will determine your final magic skill too! I read the manual )
Talk about option, i found the SM Mistress... ...but one tower can only have one mistress!
I pick...her.
Unlock this achievement when i got back to the private quarter...
I am so spoiled.... in all ways Still look pretty much enjoyable.. I wonder which should i get, Darkness or Overlord... and Bioshock is just around the corner Time flies as fast as money

buy 2 of them la......both will show ur evilness...yeah true evil is in me now....the minions and the gunslinger.....muahahahahahaha...MUAHAAHAHAHAHAHAH....JACKIE....IM BORN IN U.....yeeehhhhaaaaa
Gunslinger in Overlord? Dont tell me your minions can take on guns in Overlord too... Did anybody notice that those minions in Overlord and the things you summon in The Darkness is pretty similar... Still i think Overlord is better because it somehow have a RTS combining with 3rd person shooter kinda feel in it...

Ya..the minion looks very alike to the darkness creature. Nope, you can't arm them with gun of course but you can arm them with sword, or anything you can find. Just like how they wear pumpkin as their helmet
The game is good but the control...geram. I swear alot playing the multiplayer because lotsa time i am like "I could've done that if it wasn't for the bloody controls!"
Multiplayer Versus Mode. -You either spawn at point A or point B. No Fix base. -Think of it as Warcraft 3 without resource management and base. -The dude quit after continous death.
Haven't try the coop survival yet.

Hey !~ Ppl .. Looking for guys to play pillage and slaughter mode. Been playing with us but ... they swear too much cause of the lag ... and to mayatsan. Thanks for staying till we got the achievement ... nearly crack our brains trying to figure a tactical way to win the survival .. but the fact still stays wif a bit of luck ... nothing can go wrong.
quick question, when i finish this game will i be able to bring anything forward to start a new game??Cuz i was aiming for full corruption but gave the spree food away. Now thinking of replaying ;/

Bad move, I suggest u to start all over again if ur aiming for that achivement or you could do the zero corruption first.

Anyhoo, if anyone's just starting, here's a tip. Before you go to the Halfling Houses, just save your game there. That way you can be bad, and then restart from the Halfling Houses and be good instead.
Basically, what I'm doing with my brother right now, heheh.

Whoa. Talk about competitive, man
I'd join, but my character's only 2 hours old in game time, meaning he'll get killed in 2 seconds.
I think bro silencer and a few others are already far enough into the game to match you.

OVERLORD(tm): RAISING HELL . Devilishly good single-player expansion pack. . Includes new Abyss levels and Dungeon Challenges. . Premium pack: 800 Microsoft Points from Xbox LIVE Marketplace.
Go deeper into the Overlord's twisted world as this single-player expansion pack opens a series of hellish new levels, each a supernatural abyss for the game's five domains: Mellow Hills, Evernight, Heaven's Peak, the Golden Halls and the Ruborian Desert.
Access to each abyss is via a portal, which opens once a kingdom has been successfully conquered and the previous ruler banished to a personal hell within. However it's not just the fallen heroes that have been dragged into the abyss: the Overlord's newly loyal peasants have also been taken down into hell too.
With the undead denizens of each abyss on the attack and threatening the Overlord's reign above ground, there's only one thing for it: assemble a Minion army, descend into each abyss and embark on a fresh wave of tyranny in order to return the serfs to their homelands, defeat the fallen heroes once and for all, and claim the throne of the underworld.
OVERLORD(tm): CHALLENGE PACK . Seven all-new multiplayer maps, including "Capture the Maiden". . Deviously difficult Legendary Single Player Mode. . Premium pack: 400 Microsoft Points from Xbox LIVE Marketplace.
Come and have a go if your Overlord's hard enough. All new pillaging fun with seven additional online multiplayer maps, including the competitive 'Capture the Maiden' map and 'Protect Your Power', where players must defend the Overlord's tower against waves of enemy attack.
Putting the Minions through their toughest workout, the Challenge pack also introduces a 'Legendary' difficulty mode, which challenges players to achieve Legendary status by using their most aggressive Minion managing skills to complete the single-player game under exceptional bad-ass circumstances.
OVERLORD(tm): SPLIT-SCREEN MULTIPLAYER PACK . FREE downloadable multiplayer content pack for Xbox 360. . Enables split screen play on all existing multiplayer maps. . Plus adds a hot new 'Rocky Race' multiplayer map
This free content download enables players to go head to head on all of the game's original multiplayer maps in a new split screen mode. The update also introduces a new multiplayer map, Rocky Race, which sees a pair of Overlords working cooperatively to survive the onslaught of an arch rock giant on the rampage.
All content packs are now available from Xbox LIVE Marketplace for the Xbox 360 and require players to have a full copy of Overlord in order to experience the additional content.
Arghhh...regret selling mine. Really wana play with this new DLC!
