I am a litle bias on this one, but with a soundtrack with Slayer, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Pantera, Black Sabbath I'm serious dude, I can't imagine this game bombing. I also loved the movie Tenacious D Pick of Destiny, and the band Having a guitar as tool in the game seems legit, reminds me of the ocarina of time I think it's possible for this to win GOTY `09, what u think?

Looks awesome, even the premise tells you it can't fail.:D It's a game by tim Schafer and double fine prod. about metal featuring Jack Balck in a fantasy wolrd weilding a guitar. It would be an awesome premise for a movie nevermind a game.

I doubt it will be a GOTY , although I think its going to be a cool game to play through .... one of those games that are greater than the sums of its parts. The graphics and animations will get picked on and the combat doesn't look very stronglike other action adventure games , but the overall game should be a fun experience.

I've actually played Tim Schafer's games, so I know what to expect, buddy. My hopes will be surpassed by the genius that is Tim Schafer. Fact.

Seconded, it's not like he's a noob that wants more than he eventually achieves. Tim knows exactly what he's doing.

I didn't think it looked all that good, but the more I see of it, the better it looks. I think the gameplay looks good (not great), but being a metal fan, I think hold much interest in that area. A good rental at least.

I wouldn't be surprised if it scores a 9

The game just oozes charm and creativity. The combat in Brutal Legend may end up being what platforming was to Psychonauts, but there were so many other things to take away from that experience I'm sure it'll be the same in this case at the very least.

As for GOTY? Let's just say Uncharted 2 is not the game I'm looking forward to the most on Oct 13th.

Why are the Cows so dismissive? :?

It's quite astonishing how it's never hermits, lems or sheep who are so dismissive or plain uninterested in gaming as a whole.

oOoh, i see what you're doing there. You pulling a Bill O'reilly. Defending the cows now for future references so as not to appear bias?

Although in the last few years Slayer have been kind of a joke as well as a parody of themselves,their first couple albums like "Show no Mercy" and "Hell Awaits" are Classic.

People like them but I don't, I'm not particularly fond of their album artwork and the topics they like to promote in their songs, even though they say they are just *interested* in those things I honestly don't believe them. I just stay very clear from bands like that.

I get what you are saying,but honestly,you shouldnt take their lyrics and artwork serious,it's such a cheesy gimmick reminiscent of Kiss or Spinal Tap,quite frankly, Slayer's lyrics are sooo corny,that they're laugh out loud funny,

No, I like Slam Death, Black Metal, Suicidal Black Metal, Grindcore, Goregrind, etc.. But I find this game to look horribly generic.

"horribly generic"? Sweet. Point out another game that's similar in gameplay, structure, and story.

Any game that has featured a guitar with superficial functionality has been ridiculously corny in the past. If Brutal Legend succeeds in this aspect...I will be amazed.
