Product Description

Manufacturer's Description

The Overlord is back to cause even more trouble in Overlord Raising Hell - the anarchic action RPG title, set in a seriously warped fantasy world. Even better, it debuts on the PlayStation 3 computer entertainment system with a devilish array of hot new content. Overlord Raising Hell immerses you in twisted parodies of classic fantasy scenarios, featuring angry dwarves, wimpy elves and messed up zombies.

After becoming the all-powerful Overlord, you learn how to master a horde of impish creatures, called Minions. Controlling them successfully is crucial if you want to wipe out your foes and conquer the land.

Always accompanied by your pack of slavishly loyal rascals, you lay waste to anything that stands in your way to become even more powerful. These "gremlin-like" creatures follow your every command and will put their life on the line to obey even your most wicked desires.

This critically-acclaimed title comes to PlayStation 3 complete with never-before-seen features exclusive to PlayStation 3 and the 'Raising Hell' downloadable content seamlessly integrated into the action-packed story line.

GET PREPARED TO RAISE HELL!

The original critically acclaimed game PLUS exclusive PlayStation 3 features AND the huge Raising Hell expansion content

PlayStation 3 edition is the only console version of "Overlord" that contains the original game and all of the expansion content in one boxed game - and with added exclusive PlayStation 3 features

THINK EVIL, BREED EVIL, and CONTROL ALL!

5.0 out of 5 stars Evil dudes have all the fun, 23 Jun 2008
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
This is a great game - which is a little surprising since it is not considered one of the heavyweight titles for the PS3. The game looks great and the controls are wonderfully intuitve. The actual gameplay is well thought out and allows for some surprising tactical depth (especially when you unlock all the minions). The storyline is fun and it is the essence of having fun that underpins this game. The dialogogue is generally funny without appearing to try to hard and some of the set pieces make you grin (if not laugh out loud). Being evil is great fun and your minions are fantastic characters.

The only issue I have is that i think an evil overlrd would be lounging in his dark tower (possibly stroking a white cat) whilst his minions would scour the land doing the dirty work, whilst the game suggests that the Overlord is more like a heavily armoured errand boy trying to fulfill the "quests". The quests often also seem quite "good" rather than evil, and it seems that you are the lesser evil compared to the other evil characters - for instance, surely zombies would be on my side?!

However, this doesn't stop the game being fun and addictive to play and there are lots opportunities for acts of tyranny and general mayhem- it is certainly the best action RPG i have played in a long while.

5.0 out of 5 stars A 'pure breed' of fun!!, 5 Sep 2008
By L. Pope "Althaluss" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
Where do I begin I really dont know this has to be one of the most fun games since COD4. Infact since getting this game COD4 has become a dust collector which is difficult to imagine.
So how good is this game? Its absolutly stunning!!! I havent had this much fun for a looong time and as games go it offers everything I could possibly want. I was in the middle of writing a review yesterday but gave up half way as there was too much to tell you but i'm giving it a second go.
Whats so good about it? Everything!! Its got mature humour which is trouser-wettingly funny its got stunning levels with some pretty difficult puzzles and challenges. Most games out now have 'challenges' which reqire you to simply look at it and do it. These are more "look, think, work out how the hell... figure out how to do ... then struggle to do it". Only old ps1 games and some ps2 games had REAL puzzles but these ps3 puzzles are childsplay. ARGH I have too much to tell you so i'll do it this way.

PROS:
1)Lee evans, billy conolly and bill baily style humour.
2)Great voice overs which never bore you.
3)Complete levels 'your way' not the way your supposed to.
4)Do levels in your own time, you recieve quests but you can save them for later and explore.
5)Be good or evil its totally your choice and your actions reflect what spells you get etc.
6)Customize your Dark Tower to look more sinister or more 'homely'.
7)Make your own armour and weapons and add different effects to them - what they are is up to you.
8)High replayability. Play through as good, play through as evil, play through as you feel you need and let the game decide if your good or evil.
9)Extra difficulty and challange for a new game style to boost that fun factor.
10)Multiplayer CoOp or VS. We did VS last night and having 40 minions hanging from your arms, legs, feet, hands, head, neck, groin, chest, back and just about any other place is pure comedy. Battle your way out of your apponents onslaught while attempting to attack him back or destroy his castle.
11) ... ... y'know what just buy the game im serious this game extacy.

CONS:
1)Very poor quality on terrain and objects. Looks alot like when Uncharted Drakes Fortune hasnt loaded the level yet (and it looks pretty plain and boring).
2)Low visual distance. Things like grass only come into view at about 10 feet but important things are in great distances. Not a major flaw but does remind you of old ps2 games.
3)Camera. There is now camera movement you need to keep pressing L1 to 'snap' the camera back behind you.

Minor flaws with the game which to be pefectly honest, CON#1 you hardly care about when your having this much fun and flaw #2 is barely a worry and #3 you get used to very quickly I promise.

This game is supreme its more fun than 'zorbing' and I highly recommened this game.

4.0 out of 5 stars Its the return of pikmin, 21 Jun 2008
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
This game is basicly pikmin from the gamecube,a more violent and funny version but the same game,which is a good thing,so if you ever played that you know the basics of this game,its also got abit of dungeon keeper thrown in and tiny bit of fable,its great fun from the start and just keeps getting better,could have done with better camera control system,but it isnt a problem.Great game overall with lots of hours of gameplay,which is lacking in alot of next gen games
