@ScottJones: out of interest what is the best written game that you've played or are you're playing? i loved the original just because of the Overlord being resurrected and fighting former heroes that experienced the seven deadly sins, not to mention the new take on the anti-hero role, but self-loathing kinda falls back into that template of the anti-hero, but you're right, the writing that went into the minions is still what makes the franchise good, and the saying 'running with the browns', taking on more meaning than just eating too much fast food

i hate Lucasarts for ruining their own so-called never fail franchise with these add on to the original story-line is only killing the franchise, they just keep picking at the threads of the plot with more games and garbage series, when will they look at the expanded universe again, the best star wars games are still KOTOR from a story perspective. but you gotta respect a publisher that wants to keep brow-beating the fan with pointless add-on stories in-between the prequels which already sucked only to prove constantly how messed up the time-line has become, and the Clone Wars, my god, a series that nobody even cares about within a set of movies that people despise, remarkable...

my problem with this game was the same problem I had with Fable, the overlord himself being mute and a grunter. it seems that the overlord is an avatar somewhat separate from the rest of the game. i know he can't sing, and he can't dance but he can make sweet romance with the ladies with those brooding and glowing eyes, but not having a flushed out dialogue or real character doesn't make the whole 'be evil or really evil' that really moral decision and doesn't feel like it affects the character. the minions still have all the personality, but was that personality really that new to the game, the minions felt recycled as far as what they were doing, sure the mode of transportation might have changed. i loved the original, but the sequel seems more a re-hashing with some additions but the same essential control issues, camera problems, and plot points, perhaps i was hoping too much for the sequel...
