Brutal Legend

I so wanted to like this game. I had heard about it for quite a while, it has been available on consoles for a few years, and it had elements that I love. Combine a computer game with heavy metal and this should be a winner. In fact, however, it is...

A rough launch is still being met with almost daily patches at the time of this writing, and the overall product is very smooth. At its core, this is still Brutal Legend. It’s still hilarious, it’s still a blast, and it still kicks a ton of heavy metal ass.

As rough as the back of an old rocker’s throat, but gleeful whether you dream heavy metal nightmares or...

The £13.99 price point is just right for Brutal Legend, so if you want to wade into a world of blood, guts, metal and comedy, the time has never been better.

CommentOn paper, the combination of Jack Black and Tim Schafer in a Metal-inspired action-adventure game seems too perfect to be true. When it comes to Tim Schafer games, I either love them or merely just appreciate them. Full Throttle and...

As a straight port it’s actually pretty awful, but the core game is such a unique and fantastic experience that I’m willing to forgive quite a lot just to have had the opportunity to experience it.

A moderate but divisive hit on console a few years back, rock-obsessed action-strategy-open-world curio Brutal Legend now gets a spit'n'polished PC version. It's the best version of the game yet, and it's also a chance to set the record straight after...

With Brutal Legend's new graphics options and its budget-friendly price point, Double Fine seems to have done most things right in bringing the game to the PC--effective mouse and keyboard controls being the obvious exception. Plug in a gamepad, though, and you have a fine version of what remains...

Brutal Legend's heavy metal take on real-time strategy makes a solid transition to the PC, though playing with a controller is still the way to...

But overall Brutal Legend is better than it’s ever been, both as a single-player open-world game unlike any you’ve ever played and as one of the best unique takes on real-time strategy since Sacrifice.

Benjamin Schäfer: Brütal Legend ist ein typisches Double-Fine-Spiel. Der Humor des LucasArts-Veteranen Tim Schafer strahlt überall durch. Die Spielwelt ist stimmig und lädt zum Entdecken ein. Die Story motiviert und wartet mit interessanten Wendungen...

Brütal Legend mezcla con potente habilidad el sentido del humor, las aventuras, la acción y la estrategia para componer un combinado de muchos octanos. A PC llega tarde, es cierto, pero Tim Schafer y compañía vuelven a poner de moda el Heavy-Metal con una propuesta de juego original, simpática y delirante.

Double Fine nicht hoch genug anrechnen, dass man der PC-Gemeinde in Eigenregie doch noch den Zugang in die fantastische Welt von Brütal Legend gewährt hat, denn das Spiel hat im Kern nichts von seiner ursprünglichen Faszination verloren. Und genau aus diesem Grund feiere ich auch auf dem PC die Award-Rockshow!
