    What's more metal than slaying demons?

    Wow! What a cool-looking and creative game concept. I love it when people really go for it in designing a game. Also really great to have a game with something other than pop/ hip hop in the sound track :-)

    a good interview, and a good look at the games storyline, i was kinda worried this wasn't going to be good, even with jack black doing the hero's voice thanks for the interview...

    oooooooooh booooy! i'm just waaaaaaay too exited about this game xD...i hope they can live up to my expectations as well as of those that love heavy metal...the soundtrack has to be killer!! I,personally would just L-O-V-E to have some tenacious D tracks,that'd be awesome!

    =D

    YEAH FULL THROTTLE! Love that game. Polecats ftw. Anyway, this game looks pretty damn hilarious. I havent seen too much of the gameplay but from what i saw earlier, it is shaping up to be a good game.

  • Panakas

    I will play it because I love BLACK!
    YOU ROCK MAN!!!
    But...It would be a better game if it was something like Full Throttle!!!
    Why did they stop making such great games!?

    The more i learn about this game the more i want it. wouldn't it be cool though if the final boss battled you with his guitar and you had to have a guitar deul to beat him.

    what they say rly reminds me of the Jak and Dexter games. open world, cars, resistance !

  • irunfar

    Posted Apr 6, 2009 6:55 pm PT

    At around 2 minutes, the guitar only has 15 frets. How can you shred apart demons with only 15 frets? Without solos I guess...

    great idea.. but it will fail....

    Cause the Wii sucks

  • dedhedthe1rst

    Posted Apr 6, 2009 2:56 pm PT

    Why the hell is this game not coming out on the Wii? It would be perfect, with that control scheme. Could swing it round for the axe function (ala: Madworld) and use it to strum the strings on your guitar as well (Wii Music). I think that would have been a total winner. Imagine Madworld mixed with Guitar Hero. Would have been sweet. Plus the graphics dont really look x-box360 or PS3 standard.

    MAJOR BOOBAGE !!!

  • ChargEd

    Posted Apr 5, 2009 7:01 am PT

    Knowing Schafer's track record this will probably end up being an awesome game that far too few people end up buying. Looking forward to it. Would have wanted a PC release though.
