Synopsis

Giant Bomb Wiki said:
Brütal Legend is a rock-based open-world action adventure game by Psychonauts developer Double Fine, and published by EA for the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3. This game will feature voice talent from Jack Black, Motörhead bassist and vocalist Lemmy Kilmister, Judas Priest vocalist Rob Halford, and Ozzy Osbourne.

The game tells the story of a roadie named Eddie Riggs who, while working for a faux heavy metal band is crushed by a collapsing set, causing his blood to fall onto his cursed belt buckle. This awakens the buckle which transports him into a strange world of rock, where half-boar, half-motorcycle creatures roam the land, spandex-covered temples are the norm, and forests of stacked-up tires are common place. Here he meets Ophelia, and together they form a resistance movement against the corrupt tyrant of this world, Lord Dolivicus, and his glam-metal general, Lionwhyte. Now our hero must use his axe and his V-Factor guitar to recruit soldiers for his army and take down Dolivicus.

Brütal Legend will play as a third-person action game, where the player directly controls Eddie Riggs. The player will be able to fight using Eddie's battle-axe or his guitar, the latter of which will have the ability to summon pyrotechnics out of the ground to damage enemies, as well as perform a move called the Face Melter, which will cause your enemy's face to literally melt off. Eddie will also have a drop-top coupe named Deuce that he can use to travel the world and run over anything in his path. Later in the game Eddie be able to recruit different units, such as the headbangers, by playing a guitar solo called the Battle Cry. Once Eddie has recruited them he will be able to command them in battle and do special double team moves with them for maximum brutal victory.

The game is being lead by former Lucas Arts designer Tim Schafer.

SiD the Turtle's Guide to ***Official*** Thread Etiquette

Here's some simple advice on posting in 'official' threads. Feel free to copy/paste this into your own threads.

  1. Obey general forum rules such as not hotlinking images and not posting links to competitors
  2. If you are a pirate: good for you. Remember no piracy talk e.g. talking about leaked releases.
  3. If you are lucky enough to receive the game before release (lots of people tend to receive a game in the post the day before release), forum rules suggest you post a picture of the game with a loaf of bread. Hovis is preferred, though not required. Warburtons is grounds for permaban.
  4. If you want to post spoilers try to colour the text in the same colour as the forum background (1C5780), eg: Spoiler (highlight to read)I am your father!(End spoiler). Try not to post spoilers before the release date.
  5. Don't start console wars, they just take the thread off on a 20-page tangent.

Why bread, and why hovis?

Just a forum thing, if you claim to own something anyone can google image seach it (e.g. look, I have a Veyron *inserts googled pic*). You're much less likely to find one where someone has dumped a loaf of bread on the bonnet :)

Hovis, well because clearly it's the best bread.



Anywho, only a few days until us mere mortals get the demo.
 
Loved the demo, day one purchase for me.

It's the first time in ages a genuine smile has crept across my face when playing a game. It just seems 'fun', as your battle starts with metal wailing in the background :D
