I can't speak highly enough for this game, especially for the face this was the developer's first one. The gameplay, graphics, story, and soundtrack are all amazing, and frankly, the story setting and unraveling is exceptional. The combat is fun, and there's plenty of weapon types and strategy that makes it unique. Plus as you scale and explore. there are definitely some fun and crazy fights that will challenge. The main character and voice actress knock it out of the park, and you defintely get immersed in the world around you. I replayed it immediately for the New Game+, and still enjoyed it tremendously. We bought the sequel for PS, and hope it comes to PC soon.
I admit, I'd seen the ads for this one years back on console, and didn't play it. Giant mistake in retrospect, as this is definitely a campy and extremely fun shoutout by Double Fine to the heavy metal rock gods of yore. No, it's not a deeply rich story, but man, it's freaking a cool ride. Half the fun of the game is just cruising around in your jalopy, blasting demonic hordes, while jamming to the incredibly awesome soundtrack that the game designers assembled. I'm not a huge metal fan, but there were some rare and amazing tracks that rocked. Add to all of that the voice talents of Jack Black, Ozzy, Tim Curry, and a huge cast of extremely talented folks, and it's just a damn good game. :D
