Brutal Legend
===== Brutal Legend is a non-stop homage to Heavy Metal. You step into the shoes of Eddie Riggs the greatest roadie of all time. Who must gather an army, to start a revolution and rid Heavy Metal Heaven of a grave evil. The writing is sharp and humour is present throughout the game. The cut scenes have embedded cameos and in jokes for any Metal fans to relish. Jack Black lends his voice to Eddie and he does it fantastically, you can really tell he loves this character.
Actually all the voice acting is of a high quality as is the character development throughout the game. The graphics are cartoony but still suit and drag you into this surreal rock world.
The combat has its own style, a simple melee with the axe and long range shooting attack with your guitar mix things up. You'll spend a large time driving through the single players open world, you'll also be running but for some reason you can't jump.
Side quests don't vary a lot so although the environment might change it can become slightly repetitive. The campaign takes around 8-10 hours to complete. Brutal legend is an action adventure game that adds an open world and real time strategy game play to the mix. Both styles are sown together extremely well and the transition between them is flawless.
The multiplayer is basically a real time strategy game for up-to 8 players, your home base takes the form of a rock stage, you gather fans which act as resources and you can recruit units until your army is large enough to launch an attack on the opposition's rock stage.
The different units available have different abilities, one such move is 'the face melter' which pretty much does exactly what you think.
Overall the bugs here are minor compared to rest of the experience which is a fantastic well polished Heavy Metal adventure. With the awesome sounds, visuals and comedy the gods of metal are pleased.
Advantages: Good story and comedy, first few hours great fun, soundtrack Disadvantages: Real Time Strategy is poor, Sandbox gameplay boring and repetitive
After watching the trailers for this game, i thought this game could be amazing. From the creator of Psyconauts, one the most underated games ever, and starring Jack Black as a Legenday Roadie thrust into The World Of Rock!!! How could this game fail???? Well, for the same reason why exceptional talent usually fails, it tries to be clever for its own good. Let me explain: You start the game in a typical hack n slash action adventure game, you hack ... ...create magical effects (fire, lightning etc) and it all seem quite fun. There are side quests that involve you going around the sandbox and help people with problems requiring to fight people or race against people. These were kind of repetitve so didn't do too many of them. Oh and there are the typical snadbox elements of search for hidden items around the world to unlock things, again repetitve But about halfway through the game, something happens ...

Manufacturer's product description
The latest creation from gaming icon Tim Schafer and the award-winning team at Double Fine, Brütal Legend is a 3rd person Action/Adventure game starring Jack Black in the role of roadie Eddie Riggs, who sets on an epic quest to build an army of rockers with only a broad axe, a big block V8 and his faithful guitar in hand. Brütal Legend tells the tale of Eddie Riggs, played by Jack Black, who is drawn back through time to a mythical world immersed in Rock and Roll folklore; where great Metal titans once ruled and power chords rang from the countryside for all to hear. When an oppressed people request Eddie's knowledge of modern warfare, he pulls from his own experience in the only occupation he's ever had, a roadie for a Heavy Metal band. From this springs the most hellacious army man has ever seen, and thus brings this ancient world into the Age of Metal.
