Yeah I didn't like the camera either but they put the minion control on the stick that usually controls the camera so it's to be expected.

It reminded me a lot of Fable actually. I expect this to be pretty good, but not amazing. I will see if it is long and not repetitive then I will buy it or it's a rental. 

I don't know. I thought it was kind of weak from a number of points. I agree with the "evil pikmin" comparison, but PIKMIN was smoooooth when it came to framerate and watching what was going on around you. I think the framerate is too slow and the characters -- both the main and the minions -- is really twitchy. I hate games that have jerky, spastic movements. NCAA 07 was that way on court as well. It drives me insane. (or makes me moreso)

I had no twitchy issues. Overlord was fantastic, and a game that the 360 needs.
