Is Overlord 2 better than the first? Not that the first one was bad, but it didn't hold my interest very long.
I never played the first one so I can't really comment. What I can say about #2 is that it was quite a funny game. Being evil never put the same maniacal grin on my face like this one did. The minions are very diverse, with the ability to mount animals for different abilities, stealth, throwing fireballs.. You can sail ships.
It did have a few weak points though that I can hardly remember. Raiding towns for completion status was a grind. There are a lot of customization options for the overlord but it seemed that the resources were so hard to come by that you had to take what you could get instead of actually having options. I never did quite figure out how spellcasting worked as it was a little strange.
I would strongly advise against this game if you don't use an xbox controller.
