With plenty of black humour and dark irony, this game immerses the player in twisted parodies of classic fantasy scenarios and characters. Your word is law as you become the all powerful Overlord, a mysterious figure that has inherited the legacy of the evil after being raised from the dead.

Defend the Overlord's tower against waves of enemy attack with seven additional online multiplayer maps, including the competitive 'Capture the Maiden' map and 'Protect Your Power.' The Challenge Pack also introduces a 'Legendary' mode, which challenges you by using your most aggressive minion managing skills to complete the single-player game under exceptional circumstances.
The PlayStation 3 edition includes 7.1 Surround Sound, screen hints, tactics and tips and an onscreen mini-map making it easier to navigate around the world of the Overlord.

 Good Game But Slightly Repetative September 23, 2009
L. Wildsmith
Overlord: Raising Hell is generally quite good. The idea of using minions to do most of the fighting can be really fun and the puzzles, especially the ones from the extra Abyss levels, are often quite challenging. However, if you run out of minions, you have to go back to previous areas and kill sheep and other small irritating creatures. This can be really annoying and is usually the reason I stop playing. I definately recommend this game if you are looking for a game which is fun but not too challenging, and if you don't mind repetativeness
 Raising Opinion August 12, 2009
B. Cousins (Essex, England)
After playing this game it does bring back nostalgic memories of dungeon keeper on the PC where you had to make a dungeon, get creatures to join you and achieve aims. With this game I did find it a bit slow going, and I almost slit my wrists trying to find the blue goblins >_< But once you get things going, start improving your castle and get some cash coming in, this is a very good game. Previous reviews have said that the camera can be annoying but I disagree, you can press L1 to instantly move it to look forwards and the controls of your overlord and the goblins is smooth flowing. The left joystick controls the overlord, the right controls you goblin hoarde, simples. :P
The goblins are funny in the way when they find a piece of armour or weaponry they will grab it and hold it aloft laughing victoriously.
This game grows on you and you have a choice of weapon to use, you can forge new armour/weapons.
I recommend that you buy this game, it is very good value and it will make you smile as you play listening to the goblins and you can also find spells along the way to help your minions or cause death to your foes.

Great game haven't stopped playing it since I got it first looked at thought it looked okish but when it arrived been have loads of funs sending my wee minions out for total carnage would recommend it but then again might not appeal to all
Got to Love Raising a Little Hell May 24, 2009
P. T. Ferreira (England)
Ok so when I first read a couple of reviews on Overlord: Raising Hell I didn't think it would be much of anything special, but my girlfriend wanted a 2 player game for us to play together so I got it. However let me warn you now it's not a co-op game despite what we thought.
Once we got past that little disappointment started the campaign and after a couple of hours we were still playing. While the game itself starts a little slowly (you have no minions to start with and have to do a couple of missions before you get the good ones), the game itself has great graphics, amusing dialogue, decent storyline and the controls are easy to pick up. One of the most fun aspects of this game is being able to send a horde of maybe 25-30 minions to go and attack a couple of villagers or herd of sheep and watching them swarm all over them (there's also a strategic element to how you use and where you place your minions in battle), this leads into the other fun aspect of the game which is you can choose to be either a good or an evil overlord which also affects how your villagers react to you. So the reply value with Overlord isn't bad either.
Although I have to say the 2 really annoying aspects of this game which can get you frustrated with are the camera angle which can sometimes just jump around and that controlling the minions, if you need them to do something precise (as is the case on a couple of missions), can be inaccurate and the moment you let go of the joystick they come back automatically.
Despite these glitches, Overlord is very entertaining (especially for those who want to play the bad guy for once) and well worth buying.
Hell Raised May 10, 2009
J. Alexander (Corby England)
Now here's something that doesn't happen very often, a game where you are the bad guy. First explored (to my knowledge) by Destroy All Humans, and that was fun, in a madcap sandbox fun kind of way. But it's now fallen to the swords 'n' shields to repeat the same kind of success and levels of fun.
And thankfully, Overlord manages to do this.
Once you've finished the first few quests you recieve, the game really kicks in, with admitantly slightly clunky controls, (Having to hold L1 before you can rotate the camera gets annoying), but this is balanced out by the Minions. Minions are goblin like creatures, who do all of your tasks for you. Why should you, the big evil one have to do anything?
However, the minions are not without their faults. Brown ones are good in combat, but thats about it. Red ones don't have the best throw range and get annhilated in combat. Green ones are only really good if you can get them behind an enemy, and Blue ones are just pathetic. They can't do combat as they are weak, and they get annihilated in combat aswell. But I personally find that the gameplay issues are sort of balanced out by the humour scattered through out the game.
Overall, this game is a very good example of something new and different, but it is not without it's issues. I recommend this more to players of MMORPG's, as this game is a grindtastic sandwhich, with so many quests to do and for very little purpose. Also, the 'Good/Evil' idea needs more balance to it. You can be nice to people, or murder them. I'm just saying a bit of middle ground is nice.
