![]() Survival mode plays exactly as it sounds: your Overlords are put into an arena, and waves of enemies rush you until you can't take it anymore. Either through splitscreen or online play, you and a buddy can take on one of two co-op modes: Invasion and Survival. ![]() Unfortunately, the co-op is fairly lackluster and doesn't retain much of the charm that exists in the base game. Once you've got a hang of things, it gets a little better, but I wish a little more thought had been put into the control scheme. You've also got the decision to map the "sweep your minions around in a big group" to the right thumbstick, which also happens to control the camera, which can make for some awkward moments while surveying the battlefield. Controlling the game was my biggest issue, as it's very focused on stopping, selecting groups of minions and giving them basic orders, which is fine when you've got time to approach a situation, but in the middle of a fight it's rather annoying. ![]() There is some pop-in and every now and then the framerate gets a little uneven, but neither affects gameplay significantly. The colors in this game really pop off the screen, and makes watching your minions' antics all that more enjoyable. Graphically, the game reminded me an awful lot of Fable 2- which is a good thing! There's a lot of European architecture with a fairytale twist, and everything is brightly colored and slightly oversaturated.
