    @Rexavian - Congrats on stereotyping yourself there, champ. What has DJ Hero got to do with anything? That's like the last game that I would ever play. And yeah, lol, I'm an idiot cos I don't think screeches coupled with screaming vocals and banging drums to no rhythm whatsoever is music.

    @Rex liking another genre of music then you doesn't make anyone an idiot. Also trying out a game just for the heck of it doesn't make anyone an idiot either.

    @dagrimmreepa
    Seriously...? It's called Brutal Legend, the cover has a guy with long hair and a guitar. Why the hell would you get it? It's obvious that it's a rock/metal-oriented game... Go play DJ-Hero, like the other idiots...

    The treatment of Death & Black Metal in this game was pretty weak, especially introducting BM with the emo-goths. Both genres seemed like an after thought. WTF!

    i missed this game out when released, but I just grabbed it and am loving it

    I honestly tried very hard to like this game, as I love most of Tim's products... but I just couldn't. This is a great game for those who love rock, I'm just not in that category.

    Why is this game already like $10?

  • magnusm1

    Posted Dec 25, 2010 11:23 am GMT

    This game deserves 9.5. According to me, that is.

    This game was awesome. Got it for $20 at Wallie World. Don't usually buy games from there but this one was a good deal.

    Kinda glad Metallica didn't show up in there. This game would've never gotten released with all the drama they bring with them. Too bad there isn't any Maiden though. -_-

    My only real complaint is that there is no jump button. Eddie sometimes has problems getting over the more intricate geometry at times.

    As with all open world games this one works best when installed on the hard drive. Makes thing run more smoothly.
