Fight your way from Roadie to Rock God in this epic heavy metal fantasy adventure.
From the mind of Tim Schafer (Psychonauts, Grim Fandango) comes the ultimate heavy metal action game starring Jack Black (School of Rock, Tenacious D). You are heavy metal roadie Eddie Riggs, hurled back in time to the mythical Age of Metal when the world was formed and ruled by the power of Rock! Armed with a broadaxe, a guitar, and a big block V8 you set off on an epic quest to assemble an army of headbangers, hotrods, barbarians, demonic dominatrix and the undead. With the wings of a demon and the power of a Rock God, you must lead humanity in an epic war against its barbaric overlords, and carve your name forever into the Brütal Legend.
A game for fans of Metal Music First things first. In order to get most out of the game, you really need to have good knowledge of the Heavy Metal music genre. There are so many subtle Jokes that might go unnoticed. Humour, dialogue and story are the best bits of this game. Actually, because of this, you forgive some gameplay flaws.
Action is actually quite easy and somewhat repetitive. RTS-sections could work better too. On the other hand, the gameworld is quite big and there is a lot to explore. To explore in a funny way.
Learning curve is low. Mostly all the things you do are quite intuitive.
Characters are great and rather surprisingly the celebrity voices do their job well and Jack Black is absolutely hilarious as Eddie Riggs. Nobody does humorous dialogue and intellectual jokes better than Schafer.
A must buy for everyone who likes metal music and I'd recommend others to try it out as well.
Tim Shaffer, Jack Black, Awesome Metal S/Track If the 1st three main points don't get you in....then your gamer status is null and void. This game is a must for metal fans for it's soundtrack alone...Well over 100 songs, with a myriad of classics. Then factor in gaming genius Tim Shaffer, and Jack Black as the main protagonist and we almost have a winner...But how does it play?? Excellent...Not the world deepest game, but at heart it is a hack'n'slash game, so RPG level depth is not expected...However, for the genre it defines it delivers with rock solid gameplay, awesome level design and enviroments, a banging soundtrack, fun side missions (including beer runs) and most of all FUN.... No regrets on this purchase.
8/10
a diferent game this is not a sandbox, is not a bet'em up and not a devil may cry clone. is more than this. it's a funny game with lots a objects to find ang avesome music for the metal fans. the only thing that i don't like much is its repetitive like assassins creed, another great game by the way
Heavy Metal Lives!!! The game doesn't have great graphics and sometimes the gameplay becomes awkward because of weak AI and controlling big RTS battles get a bit complicated. But the story is very interesting, almost everything in the game is designed with a good sense of humor. Soundtrack is amazing. Everything about the game is based on the good old heavy metal and if you are a guy who used to listen heavy metal during his rebellious years, the game certainly gives a great feeling.
