Brutal Legend

I'm not a fan of extremly long games. I think that 10 to 12 hours for a single play campaign is sufficient on most games. I hate it when I continue a game just to get it over with to go onto the next one!

This is not what I felt for Brual Legend. If you're a fan of good heavy metal that you can never get bored playing Brutal Legend. This game really got me hooked (and not just for the music).

This is what I expect from a game - just plain FUN.

Tottaly recommended.

This game has had a lot of hype just before its release, and I won't lie, I was definately one of those people.
And I'm glad to say, I don't regret it.
Brutal Legend is FUN. Key word there.
Its cartoony, its colourful and it is funny!
Now I do feel for a lot of people, this game is a game where you possibly needed to be excited about it before it
came out. If you weren't then chances are, you're just not going to give this a go. And that's a shame.
If there was one thing I could say to those people, it's rent it.
The game has a LOT to do in it. Lots of things to find. There are upgrades, no big surprise. They seem to be
all the rage at the moment.
The combat is simple, doesn't feel bad. They have an overlord system in there, which is by no means a bad thing.
It brings some variety to combat, although at points, they don't seem to follow orders to the tee. But hey,
rockers are rebels. And they don't rebel too much. So it's only a minor complaint.
The "Deuce" is a nice hot rod that Mr. Eddie Riggs drives around in. Its not mandatory that you use it to get around in,
but it sure as hell is handy. And when you start upgrading it, you wont want to deny Eddie it ever again.
For those of you who like to grow your hair real long and swing it back and forth until your head turns a nice
shade of red. This game is definately worth a try. Lots of good metal tracks are on there, with a few well known
faces popping up now and again.
And for those of you who are more inclined to get a haircut more regularly, still, give this a go.

Two major problems with this game:
1. Main storyline is way too short
2. No variety in side missions

This makes me think that the developers ran out of time. It's a shame since they certainly had all the pieces for making a wonderful game.

Brütal Legend is not bad. If you are a gamer who happens to love heavy metal, it's safe to buy this. The soundtrack alone is almost worth the money. And the open world is stunningly beautiful and immersive (despite the simplistic graphics in general). However, this game if any should have been accompanied by an epic storyline - and I mean EPIC!

Pros/Cons:
+ Game world / creatures
+ Atmosphere / music
+ Story itself / legend
- Very short, yet repetitive
- Slightly outdated graphics engine / some frame stuttering
- Some "what am I supposed to do" -moments
- Controls are not 100% smooth (but not bad either)

Although the main storyline was a little short, I really enjoyed this game. The game play can get a little repetitive, but the storyline kept me intrigued, and the Voice acting (esp. Jack Black) made the game.

this game is EPIC. Jack Black + Axes, Guitars and Medieval settings... WITH HOTRODS!! = WIN. the only let down is Empty online and its only the RTS mode online.
