Overlord II Review

This happens in all the Disney movies, the sequel is always the worst. This may be the chase for Overlord 2, and this game makes me want to kill someone!

The gameplay in Overlord 2 is just like overlord's gameplay. Your a giant, faceless demon guy who grows up to become the overlord. When your the overlord, you get to control minions who do all your work for you. They can attack, pick up things, and help solve puzzles. Bad thing is that they control like shit. You use the right stick to control the minions and change the camera, which makes me shake in rage sometimes.

During every mission, their is a puzzle. The puzzles include controlling your minions. During one part, I had to control my minions and I saw a path that only my minions could use. When I walk the path, my minions fell so they could not go back up, and I could not find anything to do. A hour in, I find out their was a elevator in a dark corner that I had to go up. Bull shit

The voice acting is kinda good, but I wish the main character talked. We have enough
Gordon Freeman's in games.
The graphics is okay, nothing much.

The main thing I want to point out is, the combat is very stale; you find different people to fight, but it gets old real fast. The puzzles are the worst cause their not fair, which made me quit this game. The plot is not the best.

I would stay away, the game made me so frustrated that I had to stop playing.

pros- semi-funny minions,
cons- boring gameplay, bad puzzles

1/5

A few things I want to point out here.
*This is my first review, so don't judge.
*I never played a Wolfenstein game before.
*I lovvvve cheese.
Okay, I could of just said that without listing them, but I did anyways. Wolfenstein is a very average game, it has samey weapons and the same god dame people to shoot. Wolfenstein has some neat ideas, and could of use some polish and other ideas thrown out, but it really helped me wait for ODST to come out. But only a little.

Gameplay is what the game is about. The only thing you do in this game is shoot Nazis, and some of them may have fireballs! You get three basic weapons which you use all the time cause their bullets for them everywhere, even in the Nazi's teddy bears. You also get 5 cooler weapons, but you will never use them till you get to the end game level cause you don't want to waste the ammo for them. You also get something called a vial (not HIV) where you get superpowers, like slow time down and a shield, which is a good idea, but you also seen it elsewhere. The big problem I have with this game is the upgrade system, cause the only way to get gold is to find gold bags in each mission are in the town, are to do one of three or four side missions, which blows cause I only got enough gold to upgrade my 3 main weapons, and some of my vial powers, so I never upgraded any other weapon. I only used five out of the 8 guns, cause my main three always had ammo and my powerful ones I never needed. When you upgrade your rifle are machine gun, you don't want to use a gun that stuns them when you can just kill them. I do have to say, I like it when you upgrade a weapon, you can see the new upgrade on the gun, which looks awesome. The shooting is fine and the aiming is good, the game works, which really saves the game. But the Nazis are just dreadful in this game. The foot soldiers are mindless dumb, and can always see you, in the dark, from 6 miles away, which really makes the suppressed upgrades less fun.There is only six guys you fight more than once, but sad thing is that 75% of the people you fight are just foot soldiers. Raven (the people who made the game) made some good people to fight, but they never put them in the game in till the last part of the game.

The plot is stupid as hell and I didn't even watch the cut scenes in till my second game run. This spy guy name B.J (cause you know that's a real nickname in WW2) is helping a town or something overthrow the Nazis in I think Germany are something. The problem is that I never felt for any of the characters, so I didn't care about them. Skip the plot.

Multiplayer in Wolfenstein is bad. You only get three classes, a engineer who drops ammo and is needed for objective modes, a medic who drops health, and a soldier who get more weapons.
Their is only three game modes, dealthmatch and two forms of objectives. You also get cash for killing, and can buy upgrades with them, which I never got cause I never knew if the upgrades go away after every match. The multiplayer is boring and had nothing going for it, I feel like Raven just tacked it on for more sales. You should only play if your after achievements.

Wolfenstein is a average shooter with neat ideas, but could of use the VIP treatment of going into next year. I also thought the game was WAY to easy, as in I only died about ten times while I play through the hardest difficulty. The truth is that this is a 10 hours ,at most, single player game which only needs one playthrough unless your a achievements whore like me.

Pros- creative single player, cool weapons
Cons- boring looks and sounds, bad plot

3/5
