Brütal Legend

If you're into Metal you must play this game! Even more so if you like hack n slash, free roaming and Jack Black's typical sense of humour. I just got lost in the beautifully crafted world of Bladehenge, and fell in love with all the characters and vehicles. Great selection in music, the combat system works excellent, fun side missions, epic movie-like storyline and a well-chosen breathable atmosphere. It's total fantasy clad in a brilliantly exaggerated heavy metal theme, but you buy it the minute you see it. In one word: Awesome! Too bad the game ended earlier than I expected though, leaving me praying for a sequel!

Anyone know where I can order a Druid Plough hotrod?

Brutal legend is one of those games I could play over and over I find it fun there were some parts that made me laugh it's an awesome game one of my favorites. The amazing thing about it the story line edgy had me sitting on edge it was one of the best games I've ever played I really hope there's a sequel. Jack black was an amazing character his voice was the best and having ozzy Osborn in the game was awesome and his commentary was hilarious. The graphics are so cool they picked awesome actors for this game it just fits the character perfectly the girls are my favorite I wish I could be them.

A game forged out of the rock of ages has come, giving the hard rocking metal fans what they want. Awesome tunes, rocking action/violence, big stars and a few well placed curse words. That game is Brutal legend. Jack Black is hilarious as Eddie Riggs, a poor roadie who meets an untimely end after trying to save some pratt on a rock n roll stage. His soul is taken to Hell where rock is a weapon of choice. Eddie dispatches evil with a huge battle axe and his trusty guitar and lays waste to anything in his path. Take a good look at the name of this game. It's called BRUTAL LEGEND and it means what it says. This is a very gory game but that's what I love about it. There's decapitations, limbs being hacked off, people being run over, you name it, this will probably have it. Also it has the best rock/metal tunes of yesteryear pumping out and rocking your console as you progress through the game. I found this game a lot of fun. It quenched my blood-lust and also appealed to the rocker within me. Jack Black does an excellent job as the hero of the game. He makes you totally believe in the character and you wonder where the quests will take you next. Cameos come a plenty in this from the prince of darkness himself Ozzy makes an appearance, Rob Halford from Judas Priest as well as Lemmy from Motorhead is involved in the storyline, leaving the best part of the villain to the great Tim Curry. BRUTAL LEGEND is the game that Metal/Rock fans have been waiting for and it has been a long wait. Finally it's here and it ROCKS!!!!

I really don't understand what's good about this game besides the music, there are a couple of cool cutscenes, but in terms of gameplay it's a pretty primitive game, it's very similar to Kick-Ass 2 (2014), but for some reason it was poorly received, maybe it's all about the soundtrack in Brutal Legend is simply incredible.

It's also nice, of course, to see famous metal musicians dubbing. The game will appeal to those who love the tower defense mode in Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne (2003), because this is the gameplay of half the game. The second half is just battles with a huge number of opponents, the variety of which is not particularly diverse.

"Brutal Legend" has plenty going for it in both charm and the imagination put into its creation. I now know what a Tim Schafer game is, and he's got my attention in the future. And casting Jack Black as the lead character was a stroke of genius. In the right doses (i.e. this game), he's very likable, and the guy's woven into the very fabric of the whole thing. He makes Eddie Riggs a memorable character. And you can tell what kind of love letter this is to heavy metal just from the game design; this world looks like you've just been grabbed into some of those wicked '80s album covers. It's great fantasy.

And it's mostly a fun game, definitely worth a play for pretty much anyone. I didn't expect to be commanding armies into battle - which, while a cool idea on paper, became repetitive and not at all my cup of tea. I was much more at home tearing through the metal landscape in the hot rod and tearing through bodies with the axe. If not for the actual setting up of merch booths and controlling the head-banging forces, this would be an all-around winner.
