Brutal Legend

This game deserved 5 sequels and a movie series - all of which involving Jack Black. You can't convince me this isn't one of the best stories of all time. The action, the dialogue, the MUSIC. Holds up all these years later. Pure perfection.

Look it isn't perfect, it's not very hard, it has some pacing issues, and even a little buggy.
But its got great music, a unique timeless type of look and good voice acting.

It's hard to describe but you really want to give it a chance!

Overall, it's a game that you can play while your friends backseat play and laugh at. By far not a masterpiece, but it's more than serviceable as something you can play for an hour or two at a time.
First, the good shit.
- The soundtrack is stacked. Diamond Head, Rotting Christ, Deathstars, KMFDM, if you can think of a band then they most likely have a song in the game.
- The combat is enjoyable if you want to just annihilate hordes of monsters, but don't expect some Devil May Cry type combat considering how casual the game is.
- The artstyle also reminds me of some Saturday morning cartoon with imagery borrowing heavily from different metal and alt subgenres.
- The inclusion of Jack Black as the main character didn't really detract from the game in my opinion. His chemistry with most of the characters and cameos are the highlights of the game.
Now, the bad shit.
- The level structure is repetitive as it is linear. There's no way to play a mission differently, and you have to go from one bland open-world area to the next to do another mission. The side quests help a bit with that, but not enough to go out of your way to do them.
- The RTS shit. The strategy missions can easily turn what should be a 10 minute level into a 30-45 minute one. The worst part is that they're mandatory to progress the story, which can easily make any enjoyment from the game come to a grinding halt.
- The visual bugs. Granted, it's a game from 2013 and I'm sure that there's some workarounds, but it might be a turnoff to some.
10/10. The Zaulia are hot and I want Rima to step on me.

Great game. Gameplay is really good, some classic hack 'n' slash with a bit of RTS (yes) into the mix.
Come here for the soundtrack, stay for the awesome world-building, cry for a sequel (lore is surprisingly interesting in this Universe). Jack Black gives his very own soul into being Eddie Riggs.

Every Metal fan has to play this game at least once: Its graphics may be dated but its ROCKITUDE is forever

First played this on the ps3 yearsss ago, it's a nostalgic game for me. Jack Black did such a good job with Eddie, and the voice lines across many characters is hilarious. Still ripping they never made a sequel cause it would have been double fiiiine.

This game deserves a sequel, it definitely needed a third act but the 2 acts we get are worth the price, especially on sale. A must have for all metal fans
