Brutal Legend (360)

NUN-PUNCHER · 11-07-2007

I was reading about this game in the current issue of Game Informer .
Jack Black ( Tenacious D ) voices the main character named Eddie Riggs .
Inspired by Eddie, The Iron Maiden mascot and Derek Riggs the artist that originally drew him up.
You get transported to a fantasy world where you wield a giant Battle Axe and a Guitar ( Secondary Weapon ) that you use button combos for different combo attacks.
The animations are somewhat of a mix of Japanese art, Guitar Hero style characters, Some Kiss Makeup and a little Claymation.

Another thing that caught my interest is that it's also loosely inspired by the 1981 movie Heavy Metal.
The game trailer even has a song from one of the movies battle scenes.

BTW
If you haven't seen the movie Heavy Metal you really should. Excellent animation , boobies , brutal violence , a stellar voice cast, and probably one of the best movie soundtracks ever. stay away from the sequel Heavy Metal 2000, it's terrible.

OMG Heavy Metal. Haha, how that chick's top stays on, I'll never know.
This game doesn't visually look that bad. I want to see some gameplay though.

They should call it Jack Black: The Video Game though. He voices the main character and does the soundtrack. That bit there worries me. I can only take that guy in small doses.
