This all combines with a well-acted cast of characters featuring voices from the likes of Ozzy Osbourne, Lemmy Kilmister, and Tim Curry. Roadies are your strong but stealthy units guitar solos can literally melt faces and "fans" are your mystical, music-loving resource. Basic melee characters, for instance, are literal headbangers who smash their craniums against anything in their way. The magic (and much of the humor) is in how many fantasy tropes are twisted to fit into a heavy metal world. The game's strongest qualities lie in its writing, its characters, and its world. It's a real-time strategy game, even though that term may not accurately represent the first couple of hours of the campaign.īrutal Legend follows Eddie Riggs, a roadie (voiced by Jack Black) with a profound love of classic metal who finds himself transported to an appropriately brutal fantasy land that's part The Lord of the Rings and part Iron Maiden album art. Merely looking at screenshots or old prerelease marketing materials for the game can make it appear to be many things, yet it's not "Zelda with a guitar," and it's not " God of War as told by Black Sabbath," as cool as either of those things might have been. Now Playing: Video Review - Brutal Legend I know I couldn't.By clicking 'enter', you agree to GameSpot's If you see it for bargain bin prices, pick it up and play through the first few hours if you want something light-hearted and amusing, but don't expect to ever actually finish it. For the first 2 hours, and intermittently after that, this is what you get but the awful strategy game hidden in here make it a chore to play. This game would have been far better if it was, as advertised, a game where you spend 6-8 hours playing as Jack Black hitting the things from 80s heavy metal LP artwork with your guitar whilst cracking silly one-liners. It takes an otherwise interesting and amusing game and destroys the element of fun it started with.

With difficult control and limited visibility, this quickly begins to feel like a PC real time strategy game that you're forced to play with a controller and the camera settings of a third person action brawler game. The combat, though sluggish at times, was serviceable and could have been used far more effectively, likewise for the driving sections of the game, but the strategy sections which start to dominated the game are simply terrible.
The world quickly started to seem slapdash once the game opens up and the shift in gameplay style is jarring and irritating. Jack Black is quite funny, the theme of metal music is a good one for the setting and allows for humorous level design and characters it really had potential. Jack Black is quite I feel genuinely bad giving this review, because this game did make me smile and was quite fun for the first few hours. I feel genuinely bad giving this review, because this game did make me smile and was quite fun for the first few hours. for me fun was really lacking in this game. it's a great tribute to metal and if you are a huge huge fan of metal you will love the game but if you are looking for a deep, unique and fun experience ,like usually found in Tim Shafer games, you might be disappointed. it tries to be some games mixed up but in my opinion doesnt succeed in doing so. the rts elements are fairly basic so the game doesnt excel at anything. the worst thing is that the game changes its own genre in the middle of the game, from a action adventure game to an rts.
the humor is really good and the characters are interesting but the story is short and the gameplay gets boring quickly.
the game isn't bad by all means, but it's just not that good either. since Brutal legend was made by the same guy, i simply had to buy it. since Brutal legend A couple of years ago i bought psychonauts, a game made by Tim Shafer, and loved it.
