DailyGame: Overlord: Raising Hell Review

Review by Jonas Allen:

"To call Overlord: Raising Hell an evil game is akin to saying (with a straight face) that Dr. Evil is, in fact, Satan incarnate. Much like Austin Powers' nemesis is a tongue-in-cheek satire of every known supervillain stereotype, the Overlord in Codemasters' new PS3 game can only be taken about as seriously as Mr. Bigglesworth. In short: he's a farce. Fortunately, as intentionally riotous as the main character may be, the gameplay itself in the new PS3 game has found some very serious improvements compared to its Xbox 360 kin. That's not to say Overlord: Raising Hell has been perfected; the game in fact still has some flaws. But a couple of the biggest complaints have been fixed this time around, making for a Hell-raising good time."
