Any Thoughts?

Meh, I've lost all faith on these supposed "Good vs. Evil" games. How about a true good vs. evil game? Slap a M stamp on it and let me be reaaaaally evil. You know, making soup out of homeless ppl and then giving it free for the other homeless ppl who have no idea the meat is another homeless? Now THAT is evil.

Oh I like that.

I guess the game will suck for #2... bummer. I guess the trailer is better than the game.

The game was always cartoony evil, not real evil.

I tried this today for maybe 15-20min. At first, when the game started with the first cutscene I was thrilled abit as it seemed very Tim Burton-ish. But few seconds later it went downhill. You start as a small boy or something like that and you gotta scare the other kids away. How? Well, you smash few snowmen and the kids start to run.

The minions were nice, they look like Gremlins, but they arent as insane as them. But there was few times the game made me smile or even laugh (and just to remind, this was in the first 15-20min).

I really cant say if I like this or not. Somehow, the main character doesnt fit with the rest of the world wich is kinda cartoony, yet you are dressed like one of the black knight things from LOTR. Ow and the seal clubbing thing was IMHO not necessary, not that I give a flying f**k if someone clubs a seal 1000km from me IRL, but I just dont see the point of it. The game says I have to gather lifeforce by killing them, but it just feels so... forced evil. You know, like the game tries to be evil, yet it isnt. Hard to explain, anywho it was stupid (yes yes, I clubbed them still... little cheery ****ers).

Ow well, I'll try it again tomorrow and see if I can be arsed to try it abit further.

I liked the first one. Made a change from my regular diet of FPS games. A little annoying in places but overall I thought it was good fun.
Maybe when I'm working again I'll get overlord 2?
