I went into Brutal Legend as a Jack Black fan curious to see what he brought to the table, and I came away impressed with a game that includes fun combat, brilliant visual style and level design, variety in gameplay, and loveable characters. Yes, Jack Black is a major part of what makes this game great, but there's so much more that goes into making it the complete package that it is. In fact, come to think of it, there were so many aspects of the game calling for my attention that I didn't even get the time to notice the brilliant soundtrack.
After the limited time that I spent playing Brutal Legend, it instantly moved up into my top five games to look forward to this year. If you ignore this game, it's your loss.
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.
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.
