Brutal Legend

At first glance I thought Brutal Legend was going to be a cheesey kid friendly attempt at a Heavy metal game. I WAS WRONG. The game is packed with blood, gore and excessive foul language which got Brutal Legend a nice M Rating. And as if that wasn't enough? The gameplay is very nice too. As The character "Eddie" you wield an arrary of Melee attacks using an Axe as well as "Magic like" attacks using your trusty guitar. The cinematics are entertaining and tell the story wonderfully. The character graphics are a bit cartoonish but the landscape is a masterpiece. The tower of skulls is amazingly realistic as are most structures and enemies in the game. Brutal Legend also has special appearences by metal icons such as Ozzy Osbourne. The story is entertaining, the graphics asstounding and the gameplay is rock solid. Truly one of the best games of the year. Brutal Legend recieves 5 out of 5!
