Brutal Legend

That's the best way I can describe this game. Personally, I don't blame Tim Schafer at all. It was the advertisers and production company that advertised this game as being a huge action adventure game. The truth is however, that's only the first 1/4 of the game. The rest of it is actually an RTS game not unlike Command and Conquer. Unfortunately, these aspects aren't very good unto itself. You can never really get a good enough bird's eye view to better control your units and you have to walk up to each "base" unit in order to get things done instead of just ordering from the air. On top of which, the game gets incredibly unfair in this aspect really fast as the enemy units will swarm you no matter how strategic you are. And even then, the controls don't really offer you to do anything then gather all your units and just aim them in a general direction, so theirs no real "strategy" in this RTS game to begin with! Another problem with the game is that there's no real tutorial on how to do things, rather it just tells you to do them. Like how it doesn't tell you can use the car while in the RTS sections or that it tells you to go places but leaves no real landmarks on the map on how to get there. The only thing that saves this game from getting 1 star from me is the amazing voice acting and writing that shows it's a Tim Schafer work. Yet the sandbox nature of the game makes the humor stretched very thin and makes it overall loose on the entire narrative.
