Pros Cons
Awesome audio Not enough content
Addictive gameplay Terrible multiplayer
Just plain fun  
get ready to ROCK

this is the newest Tim Schafer.this game is very fun to play.the story is well told.with some great voice acting form some of metals greatest,such as Ozzy Osbourne,Rob Halford,and Lemmy. the major downfall is the multiplayer. the multiplayer is just the boss battles you have in the game, just with 2-8 people playing against each other.you get to pick one of three different teams.overall this game is at least worth renting.

  • Oct. 13, 2009 Review: Brutal Legend

    While Tim Schafer's games have earned him a ton of cred with critics and diehard fans, it hasn't always translated into mainstream commerical success (seriously, why didn't you guys buy Psychonauts? It was freaking awesome and should have sold a bajillion copies!). But we're pretty sure Brutal Legend will get him the financial success, along with the usual critical praise, that he richly deserves because even though it suffers from a lackluster presentation and some quirky bugs, it's still a vintage Schafer game: unique, hilarious and a whole lot of fun to play.
