Overlord: Raising my blood pressure

[bigneen004]

Anyone disappointed by the quality of this game?

Don't get me wrong, the game is very clever and fun to play, but there are some really annoying things about it. First, the framerate, when your minions are loaded up and you get into a battle it's like watching a slideshow. As if that's not bad enough, I'm nearing the end of the game, and it keeps locking up on me in the dungeon while I'm trying to polish off the battles (Three times last night, there is no excuse for that). Another thing that has been bothering me (and many others, judging by some other reviews and forums) is the lack of a map and a helpful way to know what you're supposed to be doing at any given time. I have found myself angrily wandering around unsure of what to do until I just happen to run into it many times. [ugh]

I'm hugely upset with Codemasters over this game, It is the worst performing console game I have ever played. I was tempted to get "Grid" and the upcoming "Rise of the Argonauts", but I don't feel they deserve my money. I stick to consoles because it's a level playing ground, the developers know EXACTLY what the system specs are so they can design the game to work flawlessly with that particular system. Codemasters has really dropped the ball on this one. I'll give them credit for including all the stuff the 360 owners had to purchase, but I still expect the game to operate well.

Overall the game is really amusing, but CodeMasters really needs to beef up their quality control if they want me to come back as a customer.

Anyone else here have issues with this or their other games?
