All together, the game features 75 different bands and 107 overall metal tracks to cruise around the immense world to.
Bands like Rotting Christ, Scorpions, Mastodon, King Diamond, Black Sabbath, Dethklok, Slayer, and Kiss are included in this mammoth of a soundtrack. Music in this game, as you probably guessed already, is purely all metal. The all-star cast also includes actor Tim Curry, comedians David Cross and Steve Agee, and a handful of other guest appearances, each providing humorous dialogue and stupendous acting. Other metal voice acting includes Lemmy of Motörhead, Rob Halford of Judas Priest, Kyle Gass of Tenacious D, and Ronnie James Dio of Dio. Not only does Jack Black play a role in this game, the Prince of Darkness himself, an understandable and clearly spoken Ozzy Osbourne, does as well. Perhaps the greatest part of this entire experience is the voice acting and dialogue. My personal favorite attack is the “Facemelter,” which allows the player to melt nearby opponents’ faces off and instantly kill them. By tapping a short sequence of buttons at the right time (similar to a rhythm game), the guitar can attack a wide range of nearby enemies at the same time. They can also play the instrument to allow for some special attacks. Aside from basic hack and slashing with the axe, players can use the guitar to shock enemies or light them on fire. The attacks with your axe and guitar both allow the player to unleash some very brutal (pun intended) damage on your foes. Hell, some of the smaller villains in this game are pretty much scene kids and mall goths that you can pretty much murder with your giant battle axe or guitar in any way you please. The game constantly pokes fun at mainstream bands and subgenres and subcultures of the music scene, such as emo music, gothic kids, and hair metal. Despite this, the sarcasm and wit of all dialogue and story situations provide some very funny musical metaphors and jokes, and make the story much deeper than what’s presented.

As the rampage goes on, he gets sucked into a strange land that is seemingly parallel to heavy metal music videos and album covers, full of colossal statues, fire, mystical beasts, and loads of metal chains and studded leather jackets.Īs the story unfolds, it doesn’t get at all complex. His buckle then opens some sort of portal that releases a massive fire-breathing beast that kills all of the members of Kabbage Boy and begins to attack the audience. During one of the band’s shows, Eddie is injured by a piece of the stage, and has his own blood spill out on his belt buckle. The story’s hero, Eddie Riggs, is a roadie for a terrible mainstream band named Kabbage Boy, whose sound seems to reflect both nu-metal and emo. Simply put: this game is extravagantly fresh. With Brütal Legend, Schafer seems to have accomplished creating one of the most original games I’ve ever played, and definitely one of the best I’ve played in all of 2009. Games like Full Throttle and Escape From Monkey Island pushed Schafer’s name into the industry, while Psychonauts really put him on the map towards a more mainstream audience. Video game developer Tim Schafer has been known for creating some of gaming’s funniest material.
