Whose bright idea was to put this up against Conduit on June 23rd? SENT TO DIE.

Not to mention Little King's Story.

To be fair Overlord:Dark Legends had this date for awhile.Little King Story got delayed alot from November of last year.Conduit got pushed back a few months from its original March 2009 date.Conduit I believe was the last one to be pushed to this date.

It don't matter biggest title wins.

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #78 on:** May 15, 2009, 10:01:22 PM »

You seriously have a good point.I mean why should a lesser known title stand out against such a big title.

I was being sarcastic. Lesser known titles deserve to be acknowledged.

I'll just buy all three if I can afford it.

Wow... it really does look great!

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #84 on:** June 23, 2009, 12:37:30 PM »

So the game is out today. I'm sure many of you will grab The Conduit.Don't overlook this game.
Also about Little Kings story. I saw a interview yesterday that it would come out on July 21st.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #85 on:** June 23, 2009, 12:51:53 PM »

This game will probably be pushed to July for me.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #86 on:** June 23, 2009, 12:52:31 PM »

Technically they're not out today, they're shipped today. It takes a day for the vast majority of stores to receive and display their stock.

I just now watched a video of this game, and I hope it doesn't get over looked since I hear it plays better than the 360 & PS3 games.
From what I've been hearing, the pointer controls & smooth frame rate really make the difference in this game vs the HD versions.

I also hear the humor is intact for the Wii version, and you can play it kinda like a RTS if you want.

That is why I'll be picking up the PC version, and looks like the Wii game as well!

I will not be overlooking this one. I am getting it along with Indy when I get Conduit today or tomorrow.

I wanna hear what Pro has to say about this game. Impressions PLZ.

I'm going to have to wait on this game. I just found out I am losing a week of work because my company lost a major client.

I'm impressed with the free Minion toy. Tho it's out-of-place among my anime girls, so he stays in the box.

Har Har. Have you noticed any game bugs or significant drops in frame rate?

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #94 on:** June 25, 2009, 03:59:17 PM »

I've never played it. =O

Was working on Tenchu videos while falling asleep in my chair, plus tonight marks the beginning of BWii Wiikend.

I'll give it a go on my day off tomorrow.

Stratos · « **Reply #95 on:** June 25, 2009, 04:15:58 PM »

I have lots of days off...my job gave me no hours this next week :/
I may buy the game anyway because I do have some spare cash.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #96 on:** June 26, 2009, 02:59:47 AM »

The manual is printed in FULL COLOUR.

Good job, Codemasters. This is a sign that you care.

Quick impressions after only completing the first two quests:

Graphics are simply astounding for the Wii. They've got some really impressive shader tech going on here with all the grass in the outdoor environments. I'm not seeing the silky-smooth 60 FPS I had been led to expect, but slight slowdown is hardly noticeable. (I only have 10 minions in my horde so far.. I'm looking forward to seeing how many their engine can handle simultaneously.)

I'm having a lot of trouble "sweeping" my minions over things. They have difficulty figuring out where it is I want them to go (even though the green "sweep" icon and blue target are pretty easy to manipulate using the Wii pointer) and often just clump up at the base of a ramp instead of streaming up it like I want them to. And strangely when you "sweep" your horde across treasure, potions or lifeforce they don't seem to want to pick it up. It's not until you release the B button and allow them some autonomy that they will gather anything up. It's better technique to simply order them to attack something with B then to try and sweep them over it.

The new "throttling" move that makes use of the Wii's waggle seems tacked on.. but I'll bet I need it in some boss battles later on. I'm reserving judgment to see how hard it is to execute in the heat of battle.

I'm enjoying the origin plotline and seeing where some of the characters from the first Overlord game came from. The humor and sickness of the first game are intact, and I'm enjoying the ability to furnish my castle by accomplishing side-quests. If you enjoyed Overlord then I think you'll enjoy Dark Legends. And I'm looking forward to seeing what other new features they've added in here. A worthy addition to the series.

Promising game so far. Climax is certainly talented in applying Wii graphics. And yes, the very beginning of the game gives you a false sense of hope when you run around the castle with 60fps, then everything drops to 30fps (maybe lower) once you go outside. Clear disappointment, and they'd better not mess up this same way on Silent Hill.

Minion gameplay and atmosphere is awesome awesome. Great sense of humor. I'm delighted a lot of objects are drawn in for the purpose of being destroyed.
