Ken McKown writes: The Overlord series was always interesting to me. I loved the idea of a third-person action game with a hint of strategy involved, commanding minions was fun, and the humor was always chuckle-worthy. So when I heard a new game in the series was on the horizon, I was excited to see how it would evolve. It has been a while since the first two games. Overlord: Fellowship of Evil completely tosses out the third-person style in favor of an overhead view, similar to something like Diablo. Controlling minions is still the core behind the game play, but everything else about it just falls apart at the seams.
Alex S. from Link-Cable writes: "With the right amount of creativity any game series can be successfully spun-off to deliver something fresh and exciting, as the 10 games we honored a few months back as the best spin-offs ever showed off. Well today we’re looking at the other side of the coin at the spin-offs t hat may have intrigued us once but when they released we just wanted to go back to the way things should be and forget that the idea of expanding upon established game worlds ever crossed our minds. So today we are calling these terrible games out, hoping that they can serve as cautionary tales to the pitfalls of trying to spin-off a beloved franchise."
DOA Venus Vacation is probably the best... But also the most restrictive in terms of modding.
Didn't think Extreme Beach Volleyball was that bad. If anything, the PsP was probably the worst (imo anyway).
Also, some other spinoffs I would also add on the list are Akiba's Beat, Slashy Souls, Banjo Kazooie N&B (not terrible but I'm pretty sure everyone wanted a third game, not some racing spinoff), LBP karting (not as good as Modnation Racers), MGSurvive, Resident Evil Survivor, Pacman 2 Adventures, Pokemon Channel, Hotel Mario, Street Fighter The Movie game, Twisted Metal Small Brawl and Guilty Gear Overture.
Daniel writes "For those that had the chance to experience Overlord and Overlord II, most would look back fondly on the series, although the previous games never really excelled at lighting up the stage, they at least turned up and strived to present players with humour and acceptable forms of combat. The previous two titles held some good value for money and for the most part were fairly enjoyable experiences. So with that in mind, most would have probably liked to have seen a further enhancement of the series in the form of Overlord III, instead we have to settle for Overlord Fellowship Of Evil and it sadly disappoints on so so many different levels."
Step into the warped fantasy world of Overlord: Fellowship of Evil, the dark and twisted Action RPG filled with the series’ signature black humour. Penned by award-winning original Overlord scriptwriter Rhianna Pratchett, Overlord: Fellowship of Evil delivers an epic new quest featuring four Netherghūls – undead servants of the dark arts, resurrected in the absence of a true Overlord, to bring evil back to a world overrun by the forces of good.
