About this product

Product Information

Brütal Legend is an unholy action-adventure, through a surreal world brought to life from heavy metal album cover art. From a trailing third-person perspective, players take the role of Eddie Riggs, a rock & roll roadie extraordinaire, who has been mystically transported through time and space to the Age of Rock. There, among the expanses of impossible Gothic architecture and sky-high mountains of bones, metal-hating demonic overlords seek to enslave the remaining pockets of humanity that resist them. Fulfilling an ancient prophecy, Eddie wields three great weapons in his war against this demonic oppression: A huge, double-bladed battle axe called "The Separator" allows him to perform powered-up combo attacks. His Flying V guitar, named "Clementine," gives Eddie the ability to shoot electricity or shake the earth with special power chords. To get from place to place -- and plow down enemies along the way -- Eddie rides a customizable hot rod called "The Deuce." He built the car himself, by deciphering hieroglyphics left behind by the Gods of Rock, who created the world eons ago.

The game is played in a large world that is mostly open but full of danger. The story progresses as Eddie completes missions, defeating boss enemies, driving through tricky areas, and solving 3D platform puzzles in set locations. Combat involves powered-up combos, making use of both the axe and the guitar in melee and short-distance attacks. A target-lock feature allows players to move and switch weapons while keeping an enemy in focus. Although most creatures he meets in the Age of Rock try to destroy him on sight, Eddie does make a few human friends in his quest, including Ophelia, who helps introduce him to the strange world, and Lars and Lita, who immediately recognize his rock & roll greatness. He can team up with each ally to perform a different special attack. Eddie can also use the power of rock to control near-mindless minions, which group together in factions aligned to different subgenres of heavy metal music. A competitive online "Battle of the Bands" multiplayer mode involves summoning minions for small-squad, real-time strategy skirmishes.

Musician and actor Jack Black provides the voice for Eddie Riggs, and the character's facial features (though not so much his physique) are based in part on Black's, as well. Other musicians, including Lita Ford, Rob Halford, Lemmy Kilmister, and Ozzy Osbourne, also voice characters in the game. The soundtrack includes more than 100 songs from at least 75 different bands, including Black Sabbath, Def Leppard, KMFDM, Ministry. Megadeth, Mötley Crüe, The Scorpions, and Quiet Riot, intended to represent fan favorites and mainstream hits from essentially every subgenre of metal music. The game was developed by Double Fine Productions, led by Tim Schafer. Schafer helped create golden age LucasArts adventure games, such as The Secret of Monkey Island and Full Throttle, before founding Double Fine in 2000 and producing the widely acclaimed Psychonauts in 2005.

One of the best I've played
Seriously an underrated game, by the always dependable Double Fine production house. Sure, the fighting controls are a little clunky, but the story, the design, and the just sheer fun of the game more than make up for this. I'm not really a Jack Black fan, but he is perfect for this part and the addition of actual metal stars in the voice cast really boosts this game. Very funny, intriguing story, amazing scenery design- play this game!

Brutal Legend PS3 game
This is a great game if you are a fan of Jack Black or metal music. You play as a character named Eddie (voiced by Jack Black) who has been dragged into this mysterious metal music world to help battle an evil leader who has control over the land. The actual gameplay is not super exciting, but the music and dialog makes up for it. The dialog is funny, and the lines are totally reminiscent of Jack Black. Now, for those of you who are not fans of metal music or who are not particularly fond of Jack Black, this is probably not your game. The missions are a bit repetitive, and the battle scenes involve ordering troops around. This is a game best left for fans of metal music and Jack Black, others will just be disappointed.

Brutal Legend
Brutal Legend is a tour de force that wraps up humor, music, and clever gameplay into one highly polished package. You haven't played a game quite like this before and won't want to miss it. Tim Schafer is one of the funniest guys in games and Jack Black is one of the funniest guys in movies -- together they'll keep you ROFLing (although the laughs do taper off as you work your way through the game). Brutal Legend isn't quite perfect and there is room for improvement (it's a little short, side quests are repetitive...), but when the credits roll you'll find yourself hoping for a sophomore release. Double Fine created a rich heavy metal universe and backstory full of great characters and creatures, with potential for an out-of-this-world sequel. Here's hoping Schafer and company get a chance to take us there.Read full review

Brutal Awesomeness
In reality this is probably a average game, but for me it was really good, being a fan of heavy metal I could really appreciate this game which is actually relevant(to my surprise) The story is actually funny, mostly due to the good voice acting, the graphics are ok besides some of the lighting and frame-rates in the game. Some of the character designs looks like they were alittle ripped off from Guitar Hero, but it actually mixes well with this fantasy world, which is a interesting world...for $20 dollars, you just really need to have this game, even if it's just to have on your shelf. Good story. Good voice acting. Good music. 4 out of 5

Brutal Game!
This game is one of the bests i have played in many many years.... It starts with a really fun story and it gets even better. Really easy learning curve so it makes the game nice and fun to play. The history is really good and it counts with a lot of great singers and an AMAZING soundtrack. Nice missions and nice graphics make the game even better. Besides the main story line, you can still make a lot of side quests to improve your char and there's a lot of hidden items on the world that tells a little bit more of the history. PROS: Great Soundtrack, easy to get the handle of the gameplay, nice story, good multiplayer. CONS: Unfortunattly the side quests get a little bit repetitive with time, but nothing that affects the game in self... I would gave a 9 out of 10 starts to this one!
