    There's little point denying Brutal Legend is a cool game, successfully pulling together a variety of gameplay styles while simultaneously bringing to life the very essence of heavy metal. The issue really becomes whether it's the sort of game you'll enjoy, and with the exception of the RTS-lite stage battles, this has more to do with the style and setting than it does the game itself.

    • it's heavy metal come to life, deftly blends a variety of gameplay styles, great humour & surprisingly solid story, awesome soundtrack & voice acting
    • the RTS elements aren't for everyone, the humour isn't for everyone, the soundtrack isn't for everyone

    Conversely, its primary campaign does a much better job of breaking up different mission types and mixing in action that plays to its different mechanics. Granted, there are a couple of dreaded escort missions where you have to follow your army's tour bus from one location to another while fending off enemies, but these aren't all that difficult as long as you keep an eye on where enemies spawn.

    • Side missions get boring fast, Single-player campaign is short.

    I wanted to love this game so much, maybe my expectations were too high, but there’s no mistaking some bad design choices and a story and characters that seem mundane compared to previous Shafer outings. Try before you buy. Pros Jack Black rocks, open world environment is fun - especially to drive across, if you’re a Heavy Metal fan this game is MADE for you, very polished, the RPG and brawler aspects are fun. Cons Why oh why did they put RTS elements into it? Read more

    Links Articles Brutal Legend Review By Frozza Published: Mar. 20, 2010 7:21 PM Brütal Legend is a very humourous game and is a highly satisfying experience. With quite a mix of gameplay elements, Brütal Legend is a jack of all trades but master of none in some respect but the overall quality of the product is not effected. Read more

  • Manufacturer's Description

From the mind of Tim Schafer comes the ultimate heavy metal action game starring Jack Black. 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.
