Follow Eddie as he embarks on a tour of epic destruction with an axe a guitar and his minions as he commands the power of rock in epic band battles. It's lighter-flicking awesomeness that will melt your face clean off.

The vivid and wildly creative world of Brütal Legend is brought to life through a spate of chrome, leather, rocker babes, epic music, fire-breathing/stud-wearing beasts, mountains made of guitar amps, and more. Follow Eddie as he embarks on a tour of epic destruction with an axe, a guitar, and his minions as he commands the power of rock in epic band battles. It’s lighter-flicking awesomeness that will melt your face clean off. Action Combat
Brütal Legend’s core gameplay is classic action slasher, but with a twist: ranged combat comes from your demon-slaying, electricity-creating guitar. Add that 1-2 punch to a guitar solo mechanic that can summon objects, buff your teammates, or cripple your opponents, and you have a deep, gratifying core gameplay combat loop that is fun for the hardcore and accessible for the casual. A Streaming Open World
Brütal Legend gives you the freedom to walk, drive, or fly anywhere in a fully streaming open world whose art style is inspired by some of the most iconic and hilariously rad metal album covers ever created. Every vista in the beautiful universe of Brütal Legend looks like it was pulled from a Frank Frazetta painting. Packed with Cameos and Voice Talent
Brütal Legend is full of cameos from gods of Metal like Lemmy Kilmister, Rob Halford, Lita Ford, and many, many others. It has a MASSIVE metal soundtrack from every era of metal music: 1970’s classic metal to 1980’s hair metal to the scarier cousins of 1990’s metal. And of course, Jack Black pays the ultimate homage to metal as Eddie the Roadie, continuing the theme from the work of his band, Tenacious D and his previous films like School of Rock and High Fidelity. Multiplayer Mayhem
4v4 “skirmish” multiplayer marries action combat with a strategic unit-control mechanic. As the leader of one of the factions in the game, the player will direct his armies in a Battle of the Bands where the trophy is survival. Brütal Legend’s multiplayer is online-enabled, so you can conquer your friends online via PlayStation Network (broadband connection required for online play). Soundtrack
The soundtrack of Brütal Legend is truly massive. Made up of 108 of the most rocking tracks from 75 different bands representing every sub-genre of metal, it is something to experience in and of itself. The complete track list includes: |

Okay single player game - 10 hours of gameplay; rental material. November 15, 2009

I thought this game was alright; story was so so. Controls are not great. It easy very easy.
You can seriously beat this in 10 hours so I would not want to purchase it. I would rent it over a few days and play through it if you are interested. I'm not certain why you would want to own this.
 It's OK November 13, 2009

Many web pages gave this game a good rating, but to be honest it gets kind of boring after a week or so... it the same thing every time you play it, even if you go online... to be honest guys, you will have a good time hearing Jack Black, but that's it...
 What a great game! Jack Black is hilarious. November 13, 2009

What a great game! Great for the ol' metal heads - you know who you are!
Simply Amazing November 12, 2009

While the story mode was short and can be beaten in about 10 hours it was still a very good game. The story while short is extremely funny and is great while it lasts. After beating the game their is still much to do. Their are literally hundreds of side missions to be completed. While some of the dialogue can be repetitive it's still funny. I overall loved this game and will defiantly be playing it for awhile.

This game has so much potential but falls short. The music, hot rod, guitar solos, and Jack Black are all awesome but they can't overcome the fact that the game is easily beaten in 5-6 hours. Plus the game becomes very repetitive. I got bored after about 2 hours. There are some bugs in the games too. I became stuck on a rock and tree root. Kind of annoying when you have to quit your game to solve this issue. The ability to jump or fly permantly would make the gameplay a lot better too. I haven't played the multiplayer mode though. Maybe that is where this game really excels.
