Set in a time before the original game, players take the role of a new young Overlord. As he revels in command of the Minions, our trainee tyrant will be able to take his growing pains out on the local fairy tale inhabitants as he protects his castle and lands. Connecting players to the game world in three dimensions, the use of the Wii Remote gives unprecedented control over the minions. For example, individual Minions can be plucked from the horde, held by the neck and then, by vigorously shaking the Wii Remote, throttled to imbue him with some Overlordly power and turn him into a manic minion missile. With a now-explosive body, the insane little critter can be guided into enemies with hilarious, if rather fatal, consequences.
I loved Overlord on the 360. I actually do have to go back and finish that game. Anyone thinking about picking this up? I'm excited because this comes out on the same day as Overlord 2. So we have a prequel and a sequel on the same day..AS WELL as a DS game (I think that's a spin-off). Nice :drool:
Surprisingly, looking at the pictures.. it doesn't look awful (visually). Of course, compared to the 360/PS3 screens..but still.
