Brutal Legend's Review

If I were to choose one word to describe Brutal Legend, it could only be one; Unique. This game is one of a kind because it has many elements in it. It's a free roam, music, third person action, strategy, adventure, and some driving game. Well every content of this game is divided thoroughly and I guess it's important equally as well. Because if I'm asked which content has the best quality, I won't be able to choose which one stands out the most.

Okay I gotta start this review by commenting on the main menu for the game; it's by far the best presentation for a game I have ever seen. I thought it's just a little something worth mentioning. As far as game-play goes, it's not bad at all. The fighting system is quite fun, you get to use axes, guitars, and even cars to slaughter your enemies. Bad thing is, for a title who has "Brutal" in its name, it doesn't live up to it. I get that there's blood, but most R rated action game who doesn't have any relevance to violence in the title has more gore and blood than this one. The strategy side of the game is the one I like most. It's simple and yet fun. You get to recruit "rockers" and command them to either follow, defend, or attack using your directional buttons. You can even use team-up attacks with your soldiers. There are also some super powers in the game which can use only when you play some note-hitting music game. I thought that was something no other game have though of. Voice talent is fantastic, especially when you have a hollywood star behind it. And if you're a rockaholic, this game's soundtrack is your dream. The story for this game doesn't really matter, though it's pretty "out-of-this-world". Oh then there's multiplayer content where you get to summon troops and your objective is to destroy your opponent's base. It's fun for a few rounds, but it's not one you will keep on coming back to.

Overall, it has almost every feature in a game but every feature is just good, not great. Nothing else needed to be said. (Oh except the fact that Jack Black is actually more funny in this game than some movies he played)

Overall: 7.9 / 10
