Brutal Legend

[JamesD]

Anyone else play the demo? I laughed the entire way through the demo. Not going to buy it but I thought it was funny.

I'll probably snag it when it's < $30 which probably is bad news for the producers because I heard the game cost like a 23 million dollar to produce (which sounds high to me, but maybe it isn't.)

I'm pissed off that A) it won't be available for Windows, and B) dio got kicked off because of Heaven and Hell's dispute with Sharon Osborne. How can you have Jack Black in a heavy metal videogame without Dio? It's inexcusable.

This game is exactly why god created GameFly.

I played the demo and found the gameplay to be very repetetive. But, I needs me some METAL, so I'll pick it up when I can find a sale.

I'm most of the way through the game, I know some people wondered how it was.

 

The demo is not representative of most of the game, sadly. There are three main styles of play:

 

-Wandering and brawling -- most represented in the demo

-Driving - especially "escort" missions after the demo part is done

-Real-time strategy - tech updates, resource claiming, troop generation and micromanagement, it's all here

 

In between all that, you can spend as much time as you like on side quests, which really run the gamut, including racing, brawling, item collection, etc, etc. There's a shop/upgrade system to upgrade both your powers and the car's, as well as sites and objects you can find which give more solos and/or more powers.

 

The story stays pretty good as far as I've seen so far, from the walkthroughs I'm on the second to last battle, but I have not done a lot of the side quests yet.
