The only thing you need to know from the 1st is that your his son, at least I think that's all ?
But I've had a go on a friends copy and it's quite a good game

I've got it and it's great! It doesn't really matter you if didn't play the first game, but there are some references made to the the first game and its expansion.

aww cool yeah i was just worried about getting the game the lossing half of the story might get it when i next get paid lol

Well, basically it's the same as the first game with new features is what I can tell.
But I liked the first game too much to NOT want to buy this game.
Seems a bit more fun as well, I'm definitely investing in this.

seems pritty funny xD

I tried the demo and couldn't finish it; it was just boring for me.

Attack things, send your minions to attack, kill baby seals... blah-blah-blah. I just didn't enjoy it, and can't see what anyone would see in it.

Then again, I hate MMORPGs and they tend to really popular...

Bought it as soon as it came out, and I got to say it's worth the money. Great gameplay (Well, I found it enjoyable at least), and a lot of witty, dark humour.

Btw, Grayl, what does MMORPGS have to do with Overlord 2?

Nothing. It's just that most people in this topic seem to like Overlord 2, and I don't, meaning I disagree with the masses. Just the same as MMORPGs; people love them and I hate them.

Well, I don't like MMOs, but I do like Overlord, hmmmmm...

How linear is Overlord? The demo gave me the impression you're on a pretty set path all the way through, no roaming about the countryside?

 

[Cavmatrix]

In the original Overlord its kkinda set but a t the same time kind of linear. you could stray off the path but not like in games like fallout three. more like fable 2.

 

[HardRockSamurai]

I really recommend RENTING Overlord 2 rather than buying it. It's a good game, but until they get all the little issues fixed, it's definitely not worth paying full price for.

My friend was in love with Overlord, so when I was offered $5 off a pre order, I chose Overlord 2. Now that I'm tired of him only playing games for a few weeks, and being a general jackass, I'm not going to be picking it up. The problem is that it should have already come in, and I don't know if I can cancel it now. They never called me or anything. Hopefully I'll have time to go down to Gamecrazy next Monday.

Ot: buy the first one instead. Overlord 2 only has minor updates compared to Overlord 1.

Meh Americans, Overlord II is not out in Oz for another 2weeks or so. i really enjoyed the first, it was simple fun to have minions running about and destroying thing, then using weird items as hats. from the demo the two seem similar, with some graphical and control updates. I'll get this on release day, if only to stave off the salivating and eye twitching waiting till Brutal Legend comes out (109 days, 17 hrs, 46 mins, 48 secs but hey whos counting?!) try the demo it give you a good idea what your in for, at least gameplay wise, nothing can prepare you for minion based insanity.

 

[antipunt]

Overlord is a hit or miss. Some people love it. Some people hate it.

Then again, I'm somewhere in the middle. Some parts are pretty cool; some part aren't.

 

[Guitarmasterx7]

Get overlord 1 instead. Based on the demo Overlord two is the same thing essentially but your gauntlet doesn't make that badass war of the worlds spaceship sound when calling back minions so it's actually a downgrade.
