Brutal Legend PS3
Amazon.com Product Description
Brütal Legend is an action-adventure that marries visceral action combat with open-world freedom. Set in a universe somewhere between Lord of the Rings and Spinal Tap, it’s a fresh take on the action/driving genre, which in this case is full of imitation cover bands, demons intent on enslaving humanity and Heavy metal tunes. Featuring the talents of comedian, actor and musician, Jack Black as super roadie Eddie Riggs, as well as cameos by some of the biggest names in metal music it's a wild ride in the belly of the beast that is not to be missed by gamers and Metalheads alike.

View larger. | Story
The vivid and wildly creative world of Brütal Legend is brought to life through a spate of chrome, leather, rocker babes, epic music, fire-breathing/stud-wearing beasts, mountains made of guitar amps, and more. Follow Eddie as he embarks on a tour of epic destruction with an axe, a guitar, and his minions as he commands the power of rock in epic band battles. It’s lighter-flicking awesomeness that will melt your face clean off. Action Combat
Brütal Legend’s core gameplay is classic action slasher, but with a twist: ranged combat comes from your demon-slaying, electricity-creating guitar. Add that 1-2 punch to a guitar solo mechanic that can summon objects, buff your teammates, or cripple your opponents, and you have a deep, gratifying core gameplay combat loop that is fun for the hardcore and accessible for the casual. A Streaming Open World
Brütal Legend gives you the freedom to walk, drive, or fly anywhere in a fully streaming open world whose art style is inspired by some of the most iconic and hilariously rad metal album covers ever created. Every vista in the beautiful universe of Brütal Legend looks like it was pulled from a Frank Frazetta painting. Packed with Cameos and Voice Talent
Brütal Legend is full of cameos from gods of Metal like Lemmy Kilmister, Rob Halford, Lita Ford, and many, many others. It has a MASSIVE metal soundtrack from every era of metal music: 1970’s classic metal to 1980’s hair metal to the scarier cousins of 1990’s metal. And of course, Jack Black pays the ultimate homage to metal as Eddie the Roadie, continuing the theme from the work of his band, Tenacious D and his previous films like School of Rock and High Fidelity. Multiplayer Mayhem
4v4 “skirmish” multiplayer marries action combat with a strategic unit-control mechanic. As the leader of one of the factions in the game, the player will direct his armies in a Battle of the Bands where the trophy is survival. Brütal Legend’s multiplayer is online-enabled, so you can conquer your friends online via PlayStation Network (broadband connection required for online play). Soundtrack
The soundtrack of Brütal Legend is truly massive. Made up of 108 of the most rocking tracks from 75 different bands representing every sub-genre of metal, it is something to experience in and of itself. The complete track list includes: |

 Could have been so much better August 23, 2010
Brian C. Smyth (Boston, Ma)
Okay so I picked this game up about a month ago because I downloaded the demo and it seemed like it was going to kick ass. So I thought...The beginning of the game was fun to me and then I slowly progressed through the game and then came the RTS (Real Time Strategy) aspect of the game and I just became extremely frustrated with it. I've never been a fan of RTS mostly because I suck at it but I just find it annoying. The only thing that saves this game from being a complete failure is the unique world and all it's surroundings. Although the story was really corny I actually enjoyed it. I also liked driving around jamming to some old school metal songs while collecting things. I tried so hard to finish the game just because I hate not completing things but I wanted to throw the remote through the tv on the last mission so I gave up. Ditch the RTS and this game would be badass!
 DO NOT buy the PS3 version. Has bug EA refuses to fix August 21, 2010

First off, let me say that I liked the game, although it was more RTS than hack n slash (which was different than the demo). However there is a bug in the game that occurs once the save file gets too large. This happens to people that try and complete a decent amount of the side missions/collectibles. Double fine has created a fix ([...]) but EA refuses to update with the fix. Here are long posts on EAs own forum complaining about the issue: [...] . Their customer service response is "sorry for the inconvenience", try saving more frequently next time playing through. Anyways, do yourself a favor and buy the 360 version if you have one, otherwise buyer beware.
Open World METAL! August 13, 2010
Shane Allen Windham (Dallas, TX)
This game really does carry most of the things gamers currently love about new games; open worlds, strong fighting and strong visuals, great controls and so much more. It even has some RPG factor to it. And the side missions are a blast in addition to being a worthwhile effort at improving your character's abilities. Even if all that weren't enough reason to own the game, there's still the fact that the disc is chock full of Jack Black's humor, some pretty witty storyline and one of the best soundtracks EVER found in any game. Even your grandmother might find a reason to love metal when all's said and done. Don't miss out on this one.
The only reason it's getting a 4 is that sometimes it's not entirely clear what you're supposed to be doing. The stage creation battling kind of lost me in the beginning. Once I had it down though, it was a blast!
Not horrible but, not fantastic either. August 9, 2010
Nicholas A. Patton
Brutal Legend concerns roadie or road crew specialist with a commercial metal band. He eventually is transported from our reality to one of a magical metal realm. Riggs then has to fight to save the citizens of his new home from an evil demon overlord. This game comes from gifted game designer Tim Schafer and knowing his reputation it should be a gem of a game. However it has several genre issues in that it tries to be an adventure game, an action game, and an RTS game all in one and this creates problems for Brutal Legend in that it feels as if it does not know what it wants to be. Furthermore a trademark of Tim Schafer games is that of humor and Brutal Legend starts off well in terms of humor. However it starts to wear thin in the middle of the game. Basically that was this games whole problem, it started well then proceeds to experience a dip in quality near the end.
