Overlord II demo strikes giggly fear on Xbox 360 now

Yeah...I got to the elf land I think, then I realised that managing your minions became too much of a clusterfuck for the clunky 360 controls and the method of minion-steamroll became more and more obsolete as the brown ones were the only that weren't made from paper-mache and didn't die in five seconds...

So yeah, if they streamlined the controls, I'll give it a shot.

As cool as it was to have a pack of expendable idiots to throw away on a whim, the trouble I had with the first game was the total lack of any sort of self-preservation the minions had. It was never really clear when a bunch of minions were going to charge into a puddle to die. Fighting anything on the ground was fine, using minions to remove the poison or fire hazards was fine-ish (maybe a third as touchy as water), but I think every session was punctuated with minions running to their deaths trying to kill a dodo or some enemy just randomly mowing through them. It felt too much like an escort mission.

Link doesn't work for me either and I'm from the US.
