    This game rocks, but has flawed gameplay.

    Yes, Brutal Legend rocks more than any other game before it, more even than Guitar Hero. Meet Eddie Riggs, who is a essentially a badass dude sent into a heavy metal world to rock out and to kill some heavy metal monsters. This whole heavy metal inspired game is pretty awesome just due to its content, but flawed gameplay makes this game struggle a bit. Firstly, this game isn't very long. It took me just over 5 hours to complete this game. Yes, you can go back and do all the side quests, as this is a free roaming game.
     
    But the game doesn't really make you want to free roam. When I played it, I went from one side of the world to the other going to every main mission in the game, and I didn't really notice the side quests at all. Jack Black voices Eddie Riggs, and does an outstanding job at it. All of his lines in the game are funny in some way. The cutscenes are done well, and provide a lot of the comedy from the game. The game has a lot of violence, and language, but you can turn this off at the start of the game, and at any point during the game. When I played it, I left both the language and the gore on, and at the end of the game the gore really was over the top, and hilariously funny. 
     
    Brutal Legend also has an awesome licensed soundtrack. You will hear music from the likes of Ozzy Osbourne, Manowar, Dragonforce, Cradle of Filth and more. All this music makes for one badass game, and really, it is. It has a lot of suprises, but I'm going to leave that for you to find out. 
     
    Buy this game if you love heavy metal music.

        There is something powerfully ironic about Tim Shaffer’s Brutal Legend, a game designed to be a love letter to heavy metal…a letter which would likely include a parcel containing a still-beating human heart. After all, it got published by the biggest third party developer and subsequently sued over by the second-biggest company over publishing rights. Maybe it’s that “selling out” is the anti-thesis of metal-ideologies (ideologies that  I guess include “don’t sell out” and “get fookin’ smash...

      “Brütal Legend” is a really difficult game for me to review, on one hand I love all the characters, the setting and the humor. Yes this is actually one of the very few games that are legitimately funny, which is not something I experience very often. Games that try to be funny often try to hard or else the humor is pretty stupid and not funny at all like “Death Spank”. But “Brutal Legend” just gets it right on that account. The dialogue is well written and delivered by a talented cast consisting...
