I found this MTV news article about the upcoming Xbox360/PS3 game called Brutal Legend.
Personally, I’m stoked. One, I love a good open-ended action/adventure game with a few RPG elements–the Legend of Zelda and Elder Scrolls games are some of my favorites. Two, the storyline is completely metal, which rules. Up till I saw this, Guitar Hero and Rock Band were the only places that I was really going to find any degree of truly metal content on my game console.
Also, it has Jack Black doing the voice of the main character, which should add a nice punch of humor. So often, a lot of video games aren’t really good at that element. (The Elder Scrolls are especially bad about having odd or misfired humor in them.) That’s one of the wonderful things about real metal; there’s always a sense of humor somewhere at the bottom of it all.
And if the game actually looks like the screenshots up there on that site, it is going to kick ass on a big screen TV. I want to play this.
Probably the worst part about this whole thing? The attempt of the music industry to neuter this into country-fried trash or the same old thug game that’s been made a billion times already.
Okay, yes, it does involve fighting hair metal rockers. Who’s going to be the first to call me a traitor?
