Overlord Dark Legend ultimately falls short of feeling as evil as it intended, but there's some fun to be had in the Fable/Pikmin mesh of a game. Well, at least for the short time that it takes to complete the main story.

Overlord: Dark Legend (Review)

Jun 23, 2009

On the internationally recognized scale o’ evil Overlord Dark Legend is more Walt Disney than Pol Pot. The central premise might suggest it’s a game for megalomaniacs in waiting but the contrived plot actually has you thwarting baddies rather than stealing children’s lollipops. That said, there’s still much to recommend this Wii exclusive prequel. ...

"We're not going to make cheap, crappy Wii ports" - Codemasters (News)

Mar 3, 2009

Speaking in an interview with MCV, Codemasters' Marketing VP Alex Bertie has said that future Wii titles published by the gaming giant will not simply be "cheap, crappy ports" of their next-gen counterparts.

"You can't ignore Wii, but it's bewildering watching what other publishers are doing.

"Codemasters has taken a more cautious strategy on Wii which has been the right thing to do. We are not going to make cheap, crappy ports."

Overlord Wii 'blows away everything' on the console (News)

Jan 29, 2009

It's become acceptable for Wii games to look less than spectacular visually, and certainly well below the bar set by Xbox 360 and PS3 games, but it seems all developers aren't cut from the same rock.

Speaking to VideoGamer.com in an interview to be published on the site later today, Overlord: Dark Legend associate producer Dean Scott confidently stated that the upcoming Wii game "blows away just about everything else" he's seen on the console. A bold claim, but he's prepared to be held up to "internet ridicule if that's not the case".

"Overlord Dark Legend looks amazing," said Scott. "When people see this game in motion, they are going to be seriously impressed. It sounds like such a lame cliché to say 'it looks like the 360 version', but that's true. Not exactly, but it's closer than we ever imagined possible on the platform.

Captain Olimar and his vegetable army have been noted for their absence so far on Wii, but elsewhere in this console generation the Pikmin concept found an unlikely home on Xbox 360, PC and PS3 with Codemasters’ Overlord.
