Brutal Legend
This is definitely one of the better games I’ve played recently. It takes the standard hack & slash formula and throws in a lot of good humor and an awesome sound track. Jack Black does an excellent job voicing Eddie Riggs and most of the metal references are spot on and nostalgic. It may be different for people out there who didn’t grow up listening to metal, but even for them the game is worth checking out.
The World’s Greatest Roadie can do pretty much anything in this game, whether he’s building a car built from auto accessories ripped from the guts of slain monsters, or running in the middle of a headbanging mosh pit, it’s all good. I laughed the first time I saw the headbangers, their necks are ridiculous. I haven’t really given the multiplayer a shot yet except for the practice mode, but so far I’m not a fan of it. I’d rather have had a co-op mode than this Warcraft wannabe, but I’ll give it a fair chance after I get around to finish up the story mode.
