Brutal Legend (X360)

One of the most original games I've ever played.

Brutal Legend is one of those games that unfortunately just doesn't come along very often in an industry overflowing with sequels.

This is one of the most unique games I've ever played. From the hilarious cutscenes and amazing soundtrack, to the completely original style of the world and inspired gameplay, Brutal Legend is probably the most fun I've had in a game world in a long time. I love that this game really has some substance because the story is strong and the characters are all genuinely appealing and interesting. Jack Black does a great job of not being himself if that makes sense. Usually when Jack Black is in a movie, his performance can become annoyingly over-the-top, but not so in this game. He IS Eddie Riggs.
The multiplayer is a blast and I'm really hooked on it. Don't get freaked out by everyone saying it has complicated "RTS" controls, the game is almost all action with some interesting strategy layers. It's very accessable.
I highly recommend this game to anyone who's interested in an truly unique gaming experience, and original titles like this should be supported in an industry overflowing with sequels.

	T.Rexington posted 23/11/2013, 02:39 Ended up rebuying it and play it every so often. It's gonna be a keep for my game collection. For my money, this will go down as my favorite game in the generation it was released. I just loved it man. Message \| Report
	T.Rexington posted 04/05/2012, 09:52 Think I'll buy this again one day when I get the chance. Traded it in recently, but I just know I'll be wanting to replay this game before the gen is over or before EA kills the online MP. Message \| Report
	T.Rexington posted 29/02/2012, 05:44 I remember Tim saying in a gamasutra interview that this had sold about 1.4 million (this was a while back) and that the game still wasn't profitable. It's a shame too, this is hands down my favorite game of this generation. Love the Action/RTS combo. Made for a great single player game and multiplayer. I remember some stage battles took over an hour with the more dedicated crowd! :) Gotta fire this bad boy up again sometime in the future. Message \| Report
