    I really want to like this game.

    I love Tim Schafer games. Grim Fandango and Psychonauts, his more recent creations, were awesome. The art design, setting and story were enthralling and lovable. And the same goes for Brutal Legend. The metal world Schafer has brought to life is fantastic. The character designs are brilliantly imaginative - This is the kind of game I'd love to work on. 
    Then it comes to the gameplay... The driving and basic combat is fine. It's the RTS moments. I've found them boring and repetitive and this makes it difficult to continue playing. I'd about half way through I'd say and I intend to finish it - Just for the story and to unlock the concept art.

      “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...
