Conflicting Gamers - "It’s a bummer Brutal Legend was over looked by so many people, because it really was a good game. But from the moment it was released, it seemed destined to be “Bargain Bin” material. Jack Black voices the protagonist, Eddie Riggs, a roadie who one day finds himself transported into a fantasy heavy metal world. The game is mostly hack-and-slash action, but it’s the art design and ROCKING soundtrack that really make this game shine. If you’re a fan of Heavy Metal, or just a fan of Jack Black, this game is not to be missed."
Prepare to headbang your way into glory with these metal-infused games. You'll find yourself flipping your hair in pure excitement.
The Humble Day of the Devs Bundle 2022 just launched. It includes sixteen items including Psychonauts, Brutal Legend, Broken Age, and more.
The world of Brutal Legend looks like something a 14 year-old metal head would draw on their notebook while not paying attention.
Liked the aesthetic, tone, humor, and action combat.
Didn't care for the RTS elements.
Never cared to finish it.
Yeah they marketed the game like it was a Heavy Metal GTA-ish adventure. And at the beginning of the game that's what it was. The game fell apart when the half-baked RTS stuff came in. I'd be interested in a reboot or sequel, but just go full action adventure and ditch the RTS. There really is something there with the Heavy Metal theme.
PS360 gen was special, then again it was still the mid 2000s. Everything went to shite in the teens
I think that was the breaker for Doublefine's creative ambitions and their mixing of genres (which was getting kinda stale). It was a nice to look at but it was more of a tribute to the many things Tim loves, was influenced by and has great admiration for....but the forced RTS stuff was like a drinking buddy's "great idea" that never should have come to light. The game seemed a lot more vast, but it ended pretty quickly too. And Jack Black. As much as I don't care for him as an actor (annoying and requires constant attention), this was absolutely made with him in mind and it worked. I mean come on, Tenacious D? For as Metal as this game was trying to be, even comically, it did little more than meow.
good deal
A sadly under appreciated game...
I really love headbanging infact i let my hair grow just so i could get that hair shaking effect :P
A great game. Highly unapreciated.
Really hoped on a sequel. Sadly, Tim said that a sequel wasnt greenlit :(
i think this game was ill recieved because the demo lied. it posed as a mediocre action game then when u got further into it, it was a strategy game. This led to alot of dissapointment. even tho i feel the game wasnt fun imo, people who weren't expecting something cud possible enjoy it.
