Brutal Legend for PlayStation 3 Reviews by Gamers

I wanted to really love "Brutal Legend". I really did. After all, what's not to love? It's got an awesome heavy metal soundtrack, bright and imaginative graphics, a good story, and solid voice acting by the likes of Jack Black, Ozzy Osbourne, Lemmy Kilmeister, and Rob Halford, among others. So what may be the problem, you ask? Sadly, it's the gameplay. While for the most part fun, unfortunately the controls are a bit inconsistent in their responsiveness. When they work, they work wonderfully. When they don't, things can be a bit frustrating, and result in failure. While not so bad that they doom the game, the controls are problematic enough for me to say rent this one first. Also, the main campaign is a bit on the short side, though there are plenty of secondary missions to tackle once the main story is done, and the world is of decent size to wander about and explore. There is a lot to like, with varying game styles, but the controls just aren't solid enough to make this an absolute must have. Still, it is fun in parts, as well as funny overall, so I do recommend playing it. With any luck Tim Schaffer and Jack Black will be back for a sequel, and they'll get the problems in this game ironed out. The game is unique, and it should have been so much more. But give it a try. If you can get past the control issues, you'll have a rocking good time.

What can i say this game is Brutally awesome...while this isnt gonna stack up for any game of the year awards or anything its still fun and addictive to play.Jack Black is funny as always and the music is possibly the best out there(im a rocl fan if you couldnt tell!)i really like open world atmosphere the game has as it allows you to pretty much customize everything to your liking. However, the "stage" battles you have to complete are quite tiresome and can get very annoying... it is definitly the BIG drawback to the game but all in all i would definitly recoment this game to try.
