I can't wait to get this! I played the demo, and I loved it. It mixes great gameplay, a fantastic script, and Some awesome heavy metal music. Thanks for the review, Larry! Europe FTW!!!!!
After reading the article about PS3 "Yellow light of death" in hg101, it would be funny to see another vid of CWC bawling about his Life upgrade just died from YLD and voila! No more Brutal Legend for him.
That is by far one of the wildest and coolest looking games I've seen in a while. Like taking guitar heros and mixing it with a bit of GOW. Great review larry
I'm up to the point where I just beat the stage battle tutorial, how to summon troops and all that. Aside from what most critics are saying about the gameplay turning repetitive (may be true but that kind of thing never phases me much) this game is incredible. I just love the art, the music, the voice acting; the entire atmosphere shows they put a lot of love and effort into this. I rather like Brian Posehn's cameo as the arrogant hunter, and Jack Black could not be more perfect for the lead.
Judas Priest, Emperor, Motorhead, Overkill, Slayer, Anvil, Testament, Black Sabbath, Tenacious D, Manowar, Dimmu Borgir, Rotting Christ, Scorpions, Sanctuary, Dark Tranquillity, Carcass, Iced Earth, Quiet Riot, Dethklok, and the list goes on. What an amazing soundtrack.
Metal and video games go together so well. I remember blasting various thrash bands even way back in my NES days, and it only enhanced the experience!!!
Aye well now we got a full game with a fucking awesome soundtrack, for example I couldnt believe when I found out Iced Earth are on it, especially Stormrider songs.
Jack Black looks awesome in this game.
Totally kicks ass.

I played the demo, and it was fantastic. This just goes to show that games do not need realistic graphics in order to be good.

It proves that the element of "fun" is missing from a lot of modern games, they dont' all have to be deadly serious with sombre orchestral music Etc.

Wonder what CWC verdict of this game was assuming his latest mute review of this game.
Actually I am kinda surprised that he would be playing this as I thought he only play kiddie and easy games. That bugger.
Will check out the demo in PS3 after watching your review. Also because I love Jack Black.

I know! He says he doesn't play violent games, then says one of his fave games of all time is God of War!!!

Yeah, think of all the puns you could make from "you have no life... upgrade" you can make :D
But his upgrade has so far put him $2500 in debt, so i don't exactly call it a better plain of existence.

Dude, this game would be 100% awesome if it didn't have jack black in it. Sadly with him in it it is barely hitting 10% awesome.
Jack Black is a fuckin douche.

Some of the most obscure bands even made the list, like Anvil and others. And I'm really glad Megadeth are on there!
