Have to agree with the keyset being locked a real pain, and the lack of a mini-map is very irritating! I keep getting lost all the time, and spend a lot of the time going back on my tracks. Even a compass on screen would be handy.
I do like getting my minions drunk, watching em relieve themselves off tables etc is funny as

Very nice article UNK, I have been playing the PC version non-stop, lot of fun indeed. Also agree with the comments posted on the annoying bits, but still a good game none the less

Nice writeup! I've been enjoying the game on the PC as well and just finished it once through last night (41 hours - yeah, I putzed around).

I didn't have an issue with the camera controls, but I'm not sure if the review was talking about the PC or 360 controls.

On the PC you can reconfigure the controls. You need to go to the Overlord folder and use the Config file that lets you modify the graphic controlls. There's a tab for keyboard controls in there.

Nice write up.
I've also been enjoying the game, for about 20 minutes at a time. (I've found that any longer than that and it gets a bit boring. )

Upgrading your armor and weapons should fix that issue for you Wooster green minions into armor will add health regen and red and browns to your weapons make them do some serious damage!

Zhul, this was based on the 360 version no ability to change anything.

I've been playing this on the PC in between WoW sessions and been having a ball. The review comments are pretty spot on actually.
