Not what it's advertised to be, glad I rented it.

I was very excited about this game. I am a Jack Black fan and a heavy metal lover. I was expecting a fun action game that I could hack n slash through, with upgrades and such. Unfortunately that is not what this game is, despite what the videos show.

Yes there is some solo action segments that are great, and the car combat is fun if a little hard to control due to the loose control scheme. Sadly all that fun is killed by the awful RTS segments that take up the majority of the game. The game wasn't advertised as an RTS, so it should not be one. The controls for the RTS parts is horrid. There is no good way to control different units effectively, so strategy is not happening. The battles turn in to a tug of war match lasting anywhere from 10m to 1 hour, at which point i turned the game off and returned it. It was sad, because the story is good, funny, and I wanted to see how it ended. Unfortunately I could not get past the terrible RTS parts to keep enjoying the few good action sections.

Very disappointed.
