  • Abstract:  What happens when you cross gameplay similar to God of War, the humor of the film This is Spinal Tap, and throw this hybrid into a world similar to that of the Heavy Metal films? You get the game Brutal Legend, quite possibly one of the most entertaini...

  • Abstract:  Mixing action, humor, and heavy metal, Brutal Legend makes a statement as one of the most enjoyable and unique games in recent years. Players take on the role of Eddie Riggs, a roadie who after an accident winds up a in a bizarre heavy metal themed wo...

  • Abstract:  Tim Schafer is an over-the-top kind of guy. With two decades of game development under his belt, Tim isn't afraid to swing for the fence and create some of the craziest games of all time. Games like Maniac Mansion, Grim Fandango and Monkey Island are...

  • Abstract:  Tim Schafer is responsible for some of my favorite games in my 30 years of gaming including Monkey Island, Maniac Mansion, and the 1995 Full Throttle biker adventure – a game not all that dissimilar from the heavy metal masterpiece, Brutal Legend rele...

  • Abstract:  Brütal Legend, like its unnecessarily umlauted name implies, tosses you into an over-the-top heavy metal fairy tale. Tim Schafer's name is on the box, so you know that, just like Psychonauts and Grim Fandango, you're going to get a humorous, well-writt...

  • Abstract:  I fall pretty much squarely into Brutal Legend’s target demographic. I love heavy metal music. I’m a fan of Jack Black. And I still consider developer Double Fine’s previous release, Psychonauts, as one of my favorite Xbox games ever. Brutal Legend was...

  • Abstract:  Even with some shaky controls Brutal Legend is still a fun, humorous and entertaining game. Don’t disappoint the metal gods by missing it or tossing it aside only after a couple of hours. Like any good metal album it might take a couple of listens (pla...

  Published: 2009-10-13, Author: Giancarlo , review by: cnet.com

  • Abstract:  Double Fine's Brutal Legend is an unabashed love letter to an era and genre of music that celebrated fast guitar riffs and hard living. It's also a tribute to an epic lore that spoke of conquerors and death--all of which were often depicted at onc...
