It's none too bad.

Nothing amazing to look at but it's the minions that are the complete stars of the show - they made me chuckle a few times.

Really feels like it needs to let you have control over the camera though, it's way too restrictive in parts. Can't really see why they couldn't have used the d-pad from the Minion sweeping (crappyness aside).

I won't be rushing to pick it up but if there's a lull and it's cheap enough I'd quite happily play some more.

Snatched a glance - reminded me of dungeon keeper (a lot).

Love it took a while to download, but it was worth it. Just need Play-asia to list an asian release

Ooooya bugger. I loved the first dungeon keeper. Will have to give this game a whirl later.

Awesome that my other half is pregnant and going to bed really early lately. Mo' gaming time for me!

Enjoyed the demo quite a bit, certainly felt simple and easy to get into yet refreshing.

Agree with Spatials comments about the camera, though after while you probably will adjust to it, I always found myself instictively trying to use the right thumb as most games do for the camera.

this is out for the PC aswell i think

Better than expect I thought. It has a bit of a low rent Fable knock off feel to it, but it's also quite fun and quite different to the usual military FPS the 360 is stuck with.

I don`t think I`ll be getting this game due to the flood of quality games that are coming our way over the next few months but it looked a lot of fun though, the minions were funny running round with pumpkins on their heads and that.

Reminded me of Pikmin.

Enjoyed the short demo, more of a tutorial really.
Camera only has two views, near and far. I reckon far was the better of them.
Pikmin elements are easy to spot, such as the need for x amount of minions required to move an obstacle.
Graphical style looks just like Fable.

Looks like it could be a lot of fun as you progress and get meaner minions and better weapons, armour and spells for the Overlord.

Nembot. How did you get the minions to wear the pumkins? My lot just stomped them all.

I sent my minions into the farmers field, they smashed the pumpkins up and when they came back they were wearing them on their heads!

While that may seem good now, i'm sure it'll balance out when the little one arrives

Congrats btw

Just had a play through of the demo. The camera was a bit awkward. Had to keep the LB held down most of the time to make it work more how I wanted. Quite enjoyed it though. I'd possibly pick up the full game if I found it for a bargain price.

[NeoDragoN]

I really enjoyed it, i love the quirky humour and its nice to play a 3rd person/RTS hybrid that really works, willd definately be picking this up at the end of next month.

really great humour in this game, not forced, the actual game is fun too a little annoying with the controls and could see it getting frustrating but we will have to wait & see enjoyed this a lot
