Product Description 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 the Glorious Empire, an advanced Romanesque nation, in a truly epic, yet familiarly warped, adventure. As the Glorious Empire conquers kingdoms and destroys any sign of magic it finds, it’s time to go Minion Maximus with a rousing cry of “Veni, Vidi, Vici” 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 learnt 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 Amazon.com Overlord II is the sequel to the hit warped fantasy action adventure that had players being delightfully despotic.

Story Overlord II picks up right where the previous game left off. In it the original overlord is no more, and in his absence the order of things have changed dramatically. The comically evil, but still deadly gremlin-like army known as Minions are lost without a leader to focus their chaotic power for good, ill or both. Yet change finally appears to be in the air. Sensing that something is afoot, the Minion horde has made its way north to the town of Nordberg. Here they find a male child the likes of which has not been seen since the coming of the original overlord. This child is obviously special, but time is short and he has much to learn. In recent days a new power has arisen, known as the "Glorious Empire." Based in Roman-like legionary tactics, the power of this new enemy is being used to take over all the relinquished territories of the old overlord, and to extinguish all the magic in the land in order to weaken all potential enemies. As the new overlord it's your task to gain all the strength and skills you can, harness the power of the Minion horde and take back what is yours.Gameplay - Destroy or Dominate Overlord II features a brand new corruption system that empowers players to enact their evil will through either domination or destruction. Play as a dominating Overlord and villages and people will fall under your command with rewards and benefits coming over time. Follow a destructive path, obliterating anything that stands in your way, and you’ll become a demonic lord of chaos. The choice is yours.Manage Your Minions Effective control your Minions was a big part of Overlord, and in Overlord II all four varieties of 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 organized legions of the Glorious Empire. As in the previous game, they'll do anything and everything their overlord commands of them, especially now that they can run ravage and wreck buildings and scenery and each have their own specialty in combat; Browns are the main general use soldier units, Reds with their fire-throwing ability are useful for long-range combat, Greens are experts at stealth maneuvers and Blues provide support and healing to other Minions. In addition, they've also learned a powerful new skill, how to ride. Three of the four kinds of Minions feature exclusive mounts: Browns on wolves, Greens on giant spiders that can climb walls and the Reds on salamanders. Atop their mounts these merry fighters are faster, and stronger than ever before.Multiplayer Options Along with a robust single player campaign Overlord II features a wealth of multiplayer play options. Players will enjoy four unique multiplayer campaigns in co-op and versus modes both online and offline, each with their own unique maps. These include:Co-op Modes: Arena Survival – Two players, both as overlords with their own minions, help each other stay alive as they battle against wave after wave of enemies coming at them in an arena setting.Kill A General – Two players, both as overlords with their own minions, go through a series of lands together on a mission to kill a Glorious Empire general.Versus Modes: Treasure Hunt – Two overlords and their minion armies square off against each other to collect gold and other treasure. Whichever overlord has the most treasure at the end of this timed contest wins.King Of The Hill/Capture The Flag – Two overlords and their minions face each other on a battlefield with several hills with flags on top of them. Whoever captures the most flags at the end of this timed event is the winner. Creatures from the overlord world are also on the battlefield wreaking havoc adding an even greater challenge to victory.Laughter on the Battlefield Written by award-winning games writer, Rhianna Pratchett, Overlord II puts the laughter into slaughter and continues the series’ trademark humor, playing on the mischievous physical comedy of the minion’s antics with a sprinkling of parody for good measure.

Having a somewhat dated video card on an older system (6200 512 Mg on a GX270 Dell runing at 3.0 gigs.) I took a chance on this game as I liked the first one a lot. I hoped that the creators had enough sense to have an abitity to drop the resolution down a bit as in the pass I've noted that I was able to run some games well if there was a way to get the 1024x768 down to a lower value. (I know a lot of gamers like running there games at the highest possible resolution, but if your on a fixed income you've got to work within your means and that means that you sometimes have to aim a bit lower than you would like to. In this case, I was dealing with no way to buy a new PC and so I upgraded the Dell as best I couild.) Anyway, I read the sys. requirements and really just took a chance that there would be a lower setting I could use as there had been on the first Overlord. There was! I reset the game for the 800x600 setting and crossed my fingers that the game would run well enough to play. Was I ever surprised! it was slow to load but it ran much better than I expected! In fact, I could actually play it using my current hardware. I played it a bit and it was solid, showed no sign of locking up, or crashing and was very stable on my system. I would say it played a bit more sluggishly than the first Overlord but it was still very playable. So if you're wondering if it would play on yours if you have a non-dual core CPU then the answer is yes. (My system: P4 3.0 gig HT Prescott CPU 800 MHz. FSB., 1 MB L2 Cache, 4 gigs RAM, NiVidia GForce Ser. 6 6200 card with 512 Mg., RAM.) You noticed the different in the two games right off the start as, of course, having to use the 800x600 resolution makes things look better. But what got me was the way the graphics they used on the second game looked a bit more smoothed out. I will have to get used to that but it's still the basic game with the better looking graphics and a few new controls to learn. Still, a really good buy for me!
