I got it recently. Best five dollars I've ever spent. This game is amazing, if you have even a slight taste for metal, go buy it! It's five bucks now!!!
You can blame EA for that, the game was GOING to be twice as long, but EA rushed Double Fine really badly so they didn't have time to finish the game properly.
if you look closely at the game you can see that they cut out the last third of the game and moved the confrontation with the final boss to that part (including the storyline wrap up) Then there are several hints throughout the story that it would be a longer story. The ending of the game doesn't rule out such addition + the missions objective once the game is completed states there will be something more. Tim shafer himself said they are working on a DLC like nothing seen before.
Ordered this for $5 on amazon. Can't wait til it gets here! I love Jack Black (no homo), I love video games, and I love metal. Why didn't I get this sooner?
I still play cod4 and so do millions of other gamers and it came out like 2-3 years ago im not worried about repitive gameplay it doesnt matter im getting both game mw2 and brutal legend
This is personally one of my favorite games of all time, it may bot be the best game, but its my favorite game. Its THAT kind of game. Its 10/10 at times and 7.5/10 in others but all in all its amazing and one of the best gaming experiences you will ever have. All in all its a solid 9/10.
@yeahwelikepancakes the funny thing is, the sound effect of a sword taken out is never right :P cause hollywood taught us that you will hear metal scraping, but in fact if you would have that everytime your sword will be ruined after a couple of weeks or is falling apart from the scraping. But I do agree with you this game is awesome!
@transcollege: I think you haven't played both games. 50cent sucks. And BRUTAL LEGEND it is a very good action/adventure game. Jack Black is awesome...as well as all rock references in here. Also there's tons of secrets and some hard trophies... Play it first before making some complains...
I think ALOT of people would prefer good gameplay to good graphics. We don't by games to have pretty pictures on the screen, thats what movies are for.
why would not liking metal make you not like this game? i dislike metal more than any other music genre, yet i find this game extremely appealling. the concept look awesome and the demo offered descent gameplay. getting this as soon as i got the money
Somehow I don't think realistic is the word you were looking for in a game based off heavy metal artwork with Jack Black battle-axing demons and melting their faces via strumming on his guitar. :D
I see no point comparing them whatsoever. Uncharted got first person shooting and pussles. Brutal legend got massive epicness and gives out a fun time play it for all the rockers out there. So they be booth action adventure games, but that doesn't make HALO more similar to LFD, in a example. Btw, I think I am not gonna buy uncharted whilst talkingm about it. I hate first person shooters in a consol game.
playing this shit right now. about 5 missions in. did some side quests. this is one of the greatest games ever made. i wasnt really into heavy metal like that .found some new tracks for my ipod too. i dont see how anyone will not enjoy this game. its mad funny. its only like 9 bucks used stop being cheap and get it
My friend actually enjoyed the opening ten min of this game over the opening ten min of Bayonetta, which really suprised me. But he's into rock like I am, so the heavy metal focus and gameplay just really worked for him. An Eddie Riggs that controlled that had th gameplay of Bayonetta would be the most epic game ever, but Bayonetta was a lame ass character imo.
I borrowed my friends ps3 a while back and let me tell you it kicks the shit out of the 360 ( I own 360). They have so many more exclusives and the graphics are sick. Don't get me wrong, I love the 360 but ps3 is just a better system.
Actually in some cases you are completely wrong. For instance if Dead Space had stick men creatures attacking you it would not scare you or make you belive in the enviorment and atmospheer to the game don't give us this bullshit gameplay matters of course it does but so does graphics a hell of allot aswell
this game deserves alot more recognition
I got it recently. Best five dollars I've ever spent. This game is amazing, if you have even a slight taste for metal, go buy it! It's five bucks now!!!
this game was WAY to damn short, they could have expanded the story and world SO much then what they did.
If your metal to the core you'll love this game, if not don't waste your time and go listen to nickel back
I'm so happy that it comes to pc. It's one of the games i missed when i went to pc gaming.
okay ads I can take, buffering i can take but ads buffering!!!!???? COME ON!
Watching this review makes me want to play through it again

@DanTheMan33088: I wonder why Gamespot always review multi plataform games on the XBOX360...
Ordered this for $5 on amazon. Can't wait til it gets here! I love Jack Black (no homo), I love video games, and I love metal. Why didn't I get this sooner?
totally just got this game so i could get that sweet taunt in tf2. but now everyone has it... oh well, surprised me at how good it was.
Great game, best soundtrack in gaming history
I played the demo of this on my ps3 and it was awesome :P
this game deserves for a 10, not a 8,5
It's freaking awesome in everyway!!
I still play cod4 and so do millions of other gamers and it came out like 2-3 years ago im not worried about repitive gameplay it doesnt matter im getting both game mw2 and brutal legend
how does it look outdated. Its a different art style, and if you see it in the game running in hd it looks reallly really good
Just got this game at bestbuy for 3 bucks!. Love black Friday weekend

I didn't know this was a free roaming type of game. Looks brutal.
"it's unfortunate that there's not much mroe of the good stuff"
so people will be tempted to buy games from Gamestop

Sorry this didnt deserve a 8.5. More like a 7. The first hour is Awesome but it just sorta drops
I think ALOT of people would prefer good gameplay to good graphics. We don't by games to have pretty pictures on the screen, thats what movies are for.
I think this is one of the weirdest (in a good way) and crazy game I have vere played.
why would not liking metal make you not like this game? i dislike metal more than any other music genre, yet i find this game extremely appealling. the concept look awesome and the demo offered descent gameplay. getting this as soon as i got the money
I'm not a big fan of rock at all, but I know I will love this game.
Somehow I don't think realistic is the word you were looking for in a game based off heavy metal artwork with Jack Black battle-axing demons and melting their faces via strumming on his guitar. :D
it's on steam now
You can buy this game for Pc on Steam right now for 14.99
I see no point comparing them whatsoever.
Uncharted got first person shooting and pussles.
Brutal legend got massive epicness and gives out a fun time play it for all the rockers out there.
So they be booth action adventure games, but that doesn't make HALO more similar to LFD, in a example.
Btw, I think I am not gonna buy uncharted whilst talkingm about it. I hate first person shooters in a consol game.
@KEEPINGAGOODHEART what's the lifegenerator?
i bought it today,finally coming out on pc,couldnt fidn it anywhere on xbox
@tonymontanafan92 its called 'aint no rest for the wicked'
Yup just came here to say that...the game is coming out on 26th Feb...Pre-order it for 14$
playing this shit right now. about 5 missions in. did some side quests. this is one of the greatest games ever made. i wasnt really into heavy metal like that .found some new tracks for my ipod too. i dont see how anyone will not enjoy this game. its mad funny. its only like 9 bucks used stop being cheap and get it
Wait till it comes out
@DanTheMan33088 agreed
I forsee a DLC that increases (merges in) more story :)
good review but i thought the escort missions were imo
yeah ive played it but how much more better or different can it get ...gets repetitive after a while
Humble Bundle!
Why does Gamespot give EVERYTHING an 8.5?!
My friend actually enjoyed the opening ten min of this game over the opening ten min of Bayonetta, which really suprised me. But he's into rock like I am, so the heavy metal focus and gameplay just really worked for him. An Eddie Riggs that controlled that had th gameplay of Bayonetta would be the most epic game ever, but Bayonetta was a lame ass character imo.
@demonsouls15 as eddie rigs says HELL YEAH
This game is so epic that it kicks every good (or bad) new game's ass!
no sequal to one of the best games i've played? RIP BRUTAL LEGEND!!!!!!!
@Chekirows Those dudes don't get metal :/ Graphics are not REALISTIC but anime graphics are GREAT because they are meant to be badass anime graphics!!
i have to disagree and say that even for the art stlye they chose, alot of things could have been better
its not bad, just not good either
can you still free roam once you have finished the game?
New story new perks and yes new weapons and a lot of new maps have you played the first one come on
i feel so bad for torrenting this BUT I CANT FIND IT ANYWHERE
Why do you seem to be comparing them then?
is this coming out for PC?
Yh i know, i only stated the score because Gamespot don't like to include their rating in their review.
@DanTheMan33088 atleast its better then IGN
if u beat this game can you go back and play previous chapters with out losing your upgrades and shit.
i love metal and i love this game!
were what in your opinion?
I think it's gonna be better than Halo 3 ODST and maybe even Batman Arkham Asylum :O
i beat it in 5 hours
I think I'll love it. I'm getting this and Quantum of Solace for $10 apiece through Wal-Mart.com
because its multiplatform, and appeals to more people
How dare you call me an xbot, I am no such thing. I have a PS3, but that doesn't mean I hate the Xbox I just prefer the PS3 over Xbox 360.
cause i need metal in my life, just like an eagle needs to fly!!!
I borrowed my friends ps3 a while back and let me tell you it kicks the shit out of the 360 ( I own 360). They have so many more exclusives and the graphics are sick. Don't get me wrong, I love the 360 but ps3 is just a better system.
this is a mix of fable 2 and jak and daxter
Yes you sure can.
I agree with that statement.
i saw it it for 13$ new u guys think its worth it?
Oh you know what I mean with first person shooter, I bet you do.
i thought the escort missions were fun
@DanTheMan33088 thats a first
whats mw2??
seriously, oh sequel to modern warfare
8.5........ i haven't even played but from the looks of gameplay vids at the very least a 9.4
It got 8.5 guys and girls.
Yeah...i kinda agree...
NEED FOR PCC!!!
oh yeah the best games are always a good balance-never tried uncharted I'll have to now thanks.
No iron maiden???... wtf

Actually in some cases you are completely wrong.
For instance if Dead Space had stick men creatures attacking you it would not scare you or make you belive in the enviorment and atmospheer to the game
don't give us this bullshit gameplay matters of course it does but so does graphics a hell of allot aswell
this game kicks fucking ass.i played it at my friends today and its fucking beastin from the middle eastin.its that good

Anyone who doesn't like this game doesn't like swearing, killing and music.

Spoiler alert!
@atyabbaig IGN gave it a 9
@theabogah oh wow, you should try out for stand-up comedy! (not)
@what342 WOO MANOWAR
