Multiplayer notice: The DRM free version of Brutal Legend is single-player only.
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.
Brütal Legend is an action-adventure that marries visceral action combat with open-world freedom. Set in a universe somewhere between Lord of the Rings and Spinal Tap, it’s a fresh take on the action/driving genre, which in this case is full of imitation cover bands, demons intent on enslaving humanity and Heavy metal tunes. Featuring the talents of comedian, actor and musician, Jack Black as super roadie Eddie Riggs, as well as cameos by some of the biggest names in metal music, it's a wild ride in the belly of the beast that is not to be missed!
You have 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.
Fight alongside Metal Gods--such as Lemmy Kilmister, Rob Halford, Lita Ford, and many, many others--while rocking out to the most epic heavy metal soundtrack in video game history.
Your guitar is your weapon. Wield a demon-slaying, electricity-creating guitar and use the power of Metal to summon wild beasts into battle, buff your teammates, and melt faces!

I loved this game. The execution can be a little clunky in a few places, but that didn't really bother me in this title. The atmosphere is absolutely stellar, with contributions from many metal legends (Eddy and the main villain's guitar solos are performed by the two guitarists from Judas Priest!) and great humour. Ranging the landscape in the Druid Plow is great. Running and flying across the battlefield, trying to coordinate everything while beating up bad guys and churning out solos is intense.
Just get it.
I was pleasantly surprised, it was a funny game with an extremely cool cast and soundtrack, I wish there'd be more metal soundtracks in video games, the choice of tracks from all those well known metal bands was quite good too and the tracklist is extremely long.
Of course it's like a console game through and through, but a fun experience after all and the graphics look nice and don't run too bad on my old system.
Still searching for the last stuff I didn't find in the game but it's only a matter of time now.
Having Ozzy Osbourne, Lemmy Kilmister, Rob Halford, Jack Black etc... doing the voices and appearing ingame at very many occasions was really cool.
It took me 12,5h to complete.
The multiplayer mode is actually quite fun (micro strategy game where you can fight alongside your minions in many different ways) and it's cool that you can play the gothic and demon/deathmetal faction too, too bad it's not LAN compatible and only possible via steam, but at least it has an offline AI mode. :)
Spoiler:
I was laughing hard when I saw that the girl becomes a goth and founds her black tears faction with zombies, corpse brides etc... after she felt betrayed by Eddie, that's exactly what I've seen from many girls that always clinged to metalheads. Her faction with the depressive emo zombies is fun to play too.
DAMN its still so good.
I just like this game. Everything about this game is Metal m/
Even the Skybox in the game is metal!!!!
If you like Metal, Musik and a good Story, with GREAT characters, then you HAVE to buy this.
This game made me buy an XBox 360 (seriously), only to realize, that it will come out on PC 2 years later.
What did i do?
I bought it...3 more times...yepp...
I have it on:
XBox 360
Steam
Steam through Humble Bundle (DoubleFine Bundle for Psychonauts)
Boxed Version from IndieBox
BUY IT!!! GO AHEAD! DO EHT!!!!
Greatness in this game. As mentioned in previous reviews it's a mashup of RPG, RTS, combat driving and story, among other things. At full price this game is worth it. At sale price a steal. A glorious steal. It's not an easy game, it will challenge you. It also is one of the few games that has lines that made me actually laugh out loud. At one point Ozzy did something so hilarious I just lost it laughing.
Let's not forget that Lemmy is in this game. Pay your respects. He lives forever in Brutal Legend.
