Back to “Overload II”… I struggled to find anything of interest in the previous “Overlord: Raising Hell” title.

The cut scenes looked pleasant enough, but the game-play let it down for me.

Hopefully a new iteration may mean this sequel surpasses the previous offering. I believe spin-off versions for the Nintendo DS (Overlord: Minions”) & Wii (“Overlord: Dark Legend”) are also going to be made available with the new release.

A Playable Demo downloadable from the PlayStation Store would have to be available before I considered it for the PS3, though.

BFN,
