[360/PS3] A Brütal Legend Thread

Now tell me, who here would do Ophelia? Even when she changes. Even more hotter then, no?

And I love the starting intro, with Jack Black going into the record store, I watch it every time

However, I do notice some slowdown, when things get busy, which mars an otherwise brilliant game.

Can anyone here do the power slide move on PS3 ?

I bought the move and the instructions are simply press 'square' when running.
But eveytime I do that, Riggs just stops and does a bolt of lighting (or a flame if I hold 'square' while running)

Its hard to imagine I'm doing anything wrong with such simple instructions, but I just thought I'd ask !!

There should be a sprint button, something that the game never tells you. On the 360, it's clicking the movement stick to get Eddie sprinting, which from there on you can tap X (or Square in your case), to do the powerslide. Try clicking R3, see what happens.

Have to say this is probably ones of the most entertaining games I`ve played this year.
Story is abit short at just uner 6 hours but it was my fauly for not doing side quests.

As for the power slide move, ensure you are actually sprinting.
Normal 'jogging' he will stop and do the lightning bolt.

On 360 you have to press the left stick down and he will sprint.

Should be L3 on the PS3, it's the left stick on the 360.

Moonpie2 · 17 Oct 2009 at 15:28

Yep, clicking L3 will do it

I was pleasantly surprised by this, played the demo last week not expecting much at all, but the laughs and fun/easy to get into gameplay left me wanting more. On my list to buy

To be honest, I've now played this through and the RTS battles aren't really RTS, its not like you need to do anything complex.

Its quite good actually, and there is loads to see and do... I love the face melting solo.

Entertaining game, to be expected with Ozzy Osborne swearing his head off, and def leppard blasting out your speakers...

Well worthwhile purchase, up there with Batman Arkham for me.

Yeah, for once it was actually good to hear Rock of Ages

And hearing Judas Priest's Battle Hymn and One shot at glory during the concert stage RTS bit was cool. Great song list in general.

Not totally sure what I think about it as a game yet though.

VeNT · 19 Oct 2009 at 16:05

is it fable with ROCK?

Adsta · 20 Oct 2009 at 10:10

I have to say I havn't had the time to play this as much as I would like to but my god what a game so far. Really am enjoying it.

The headbangers are brilliant ! I just bought the lighting upgrade for my axe. I also just got a machine gun for the druid plow. Just about to go "on tour" for the first time I need to escort a huge van. I keep failing for some reason

More play is required tonight.

Great game, very funny.

Moonpie2 · 21 Oct 2009 at 09:53

Hmmmmm...... just got to the Lionwhite battle (the 3rd major RTS bit) and I have to say, I might need to stop playing it

I know the RTS sections have divided opinions, but it's really a shambolic mess when the battles get this big.
I am playing it on brutal difficulty so maybe that's not helping but still..... very dissapointed in the RTS sections personally.

Yas786 · 23 Oct 2009 at 13:24

Picked this up last night as i traded a few games in...have to say i like it a lot...its been a long time that a game has had me in stitches...Jack Black just rocks in this and those headbangers are just :cool:

All in all a pretty damn good game and the chicks in it are hot..well the 2 ie black haired one and the blonde one

Chronictank · 6 Nov 2009 at 00:02

Very nice game

, well worth the play through (i would also suggest you unlock all the legend stones, they add nicely to the backstory)

Anyone know if you get anything by completing it on 100%? i don't really care about achievements but would do it if there was an additional cut scene or something

JUMPURS · 3 Jan 2010 at 18:25

Got this today for 19 quid in Tesco.

I had no huge anticipation or that for this game, but actually enjoying it lol. Doubt i would like it so much if it was a generic voice actor and not JB though.
