I really enjoyed this game. Overlord is one of the few titles on PS3 that will allow you to play a strategy-type game (but also retains some optional first-person smiting of your own). You're leading a pack of minions of several types, and have to use them strategically to win your battles.
Even though at a first glance the Overlord you're controlling is an evil creature, the gameplay allows you to proceed through the game doing mostly noble and helpful deeds, while listening to lots of humorous feedback. Throughout the game, it retains an enjoyable light-hearted atmosphere, without the usual "save-the-mankind-from-doom-and-gloom" setting.
Animation and graphics look a bit dated, but this doesn't get in the way of fun. Definitely, a recommended purchase if you're looking for a new type of PS3 entertaining. If you want to try it out, just download a free demo from the PSN store, I think it gives an accurate impression of the whole experience.
Being Evil isn't so bad...

When this was put out for the X-Box 360 and PC there was complaints about controling your minions and no map, bugs in the system. There have been great improvements for the PS3. There is a map, so now you don't run around in circles. Monions are very easy to control, they are still playful and love getting drunk and pissing on the floor. It doesn't take much to upset the towns people.
I believe anyone who like adventure games would enjoy this.
FUN, FUN, FUN!

over all this was a fun game to play just to waste time.graphics are a bit cartoonish, and game play can be a bit slow at times but it killed the time. Oh don't forget the smart mouthed jester some of the things he says are hillarious!
Rented it, loved it, buy it!

This game breaks from the boring cookie cutter sports and FPS games. It has a fantasy lord of the rings feel. Excellent next generation PS3 graphics. Overall outstanding visuals, fun gameplay, highly recommend for someone looking to get away from the norm.
