Overlord II is the sequel to the hit warped fantasy action adventure that had players being delightfully despotic. In Overlord II, a new Overlord and a more powerful army of Minions take on an entire empire in a truly epic adventure, inspired by the rise of the Roman Empire. As the Glorious Empire conquers kingdoms and destroys any sign of magic it finds, it's time to go Minion Maximus and send in the horde.
The Minions return smarter, deadlier (and funnier) and are ready to fight in large scale battles that will see their wild pack mentality squaring up to the organised legions of the Glorious Empire. As ever, they'll do anything and everything the Overlord commands of them, especially now that they can run ravage and wreck buildings and scenery. They've also learn to ride: In Overlord II Minions will be able to mount up and ride wolves and other magical creatures around the landscape and take them into battle, making our band of merry fighters faster and fiercer than ever before.

It's good, but not suprise If you have played Overlord: Raising Hell, it is not really surprise to us. The new gameplay story is not really attractive even to new or old player.
Lord is always about to die in this game, but better than last game.

Biggest disappointment of the year I really enjoyed _Overlord_, which came across as a scruffy product made by a scrappy company. The sequel, on the other hand, stinks of a money grab: it's chock-full of good intentions that need several more revisions to actually be workable, or fun. The map is a good exemplar of the whole: the first game didn't have one at all, and this one does, but it's very clunky to use, and the in-HUD minimap is a microscopic morass of greys and browns that isn't able to tell you anything useful. This surely could have been fixed by, you know, asking people if they could use the map, but the publisher clearly wanted to strike while the _Overlord_ iron was hot. The whole thing is shoddy as a consequence, from the not-infrequent crashes to the sketchy voice-acting to the terrible cinematography to the parade of poor or incomplete design decisions. Someone really wanted to make _Fable II_ again, and for it to only take a year or so. The result is wretched, and very, very disappointing. Don't buy.
No title this game is awesome ,it is very fun commanding minnions to do jobs. Great for gamerscore.

more of the same the sequel has minor improvements in graphics but on the whole it plays exactly the same as part 1. i too did not like the colour contrast this time round as it makes view/ctrl very tiring after awhile. the map is almost useless and on the whole i enjoyed part 1 more.

Better and more badass There are a number of great improvements over the previous.
For one, its easier to make your minion go on rampant, just hold the RT. :)
Storyline is still as funny and catchy as before. If you are a fan of Overlord, you will love this sequel.
The downside though is mistress(es) and spell is still as meaningless as before.
