Take every heavy metal fantasy poster you've ever seen, turn them into a fantasy world where heavy metal is magic, drop an axe/guitar wielding super roadie on it, have Jack Black do the voice, and you have Brutal Legend. Truly one of the funnest, most unique, enjoyable games I've played in a long time.
Use metal guitar solos to summon flaming zeppelins down from the sky. Find collectibles in the world that unlock famous heavy metal rock songs to listen to in your heavily armed Deuce Coupe. Buy upgrades from the Guardian of Metal Ozzy Ozzborn. Free the land from Demons by bringing magic back to the world, the magic of METAL! And most imporantly...get ready to laugh.
The only down side of the game is that the story is very compelling and moves quick once you're in it. So make time between missions to look around and collect stuff. Not only will it make the final boss battles easier (due to upgrades and increased health), but if you're like me: roaming the world looking for collectibles is more interesting as a pastime between missions and not as something to do now that the game is done.
