Brutal Legend Destined to Rock
Many gamers who have been following Brutal Legend, Double Fine’s latest game in which players fight in an environment filled with sex, drugs, and rock n’ roll, instantly knew it would be destined for an “M” rating. However, according to the ESRB’s official description on the game’s violence, this may be the greatest game ever made.
According to the ESRB, the main charcter, Eddie Riggs, has the ability to “face-melt” enemies with his guitars. However, the ESRB put it best when they said:
“Players can also perform “face-melting solos” (literally melting enemies’ faces).”
Read below for the full description of the game (it’s long!…and exciting).
This is an action adventure/role-playing game that tells the story of Eddie Riggs, a roadie who is transported to a mythical world of heavy metal rock. Eddie is armed with a guitar and a double-headed axe, which players can use to slash and dismember enemies. Players can also perform “face-melting solos” (literally melting enemies’ faces), meet humanoid creatures dressed like dominatrixes and brandishing whips, and liberate an army of rockers from a life of oppression. Although the storyline is often irreverent and whimsical, the depictions of violence are somewhat intense: Undead humanoids are dismembered with an axe (sometimes in slow-motion); a “Steel-Quilled Blade” causes human enemies to explode into gibs that rain down; machine guns, missile launchers, and sub woofers can be used to kill druids and other fantastical creatures. Eddie can also run over dozens of enemies with his hot rod, resulting in blood effects and more heads and limbs getting chopped off. During the course of the game, characters sometimes engage in suggestive dialogue intended for comedic effect (e.g., “Maybe with all your feedback, you guys could just blow me over the gorge” and “Playtime’s over. Now let’s get back to the orgy”). Players will also encounter “Skull Rakers” clad in bondage gear and amazon-like warriors dressed in leather outfits that partially reveal buttocks and breasts. Strong profanity (e.g., “f*ck,” “sh*t,” and “d*ck”) can be heard in the dialogue.
So will you be rocking with Brutal Legend when it hits store shelves next month? Let us know in the comment section below!

its not on my list but i will probably buy it when it gets cheap.
i hate jack black he is so annoying, i cant imagine any game with him in it can be very good, only thing more annoying is .50 cents in MW2 cant wait to kill him.
I don’t think this game will get good reviews.
I know he’s the psychonauts creator, but I didn’t like that game, nor do I like jack black.
demo will make or break this game for me.
First off…
Sove strucked… This game’s multiplayer has been reported by Joystick to be a pretty damn good experience so far.
Binary_0011011 have you seen the trailers? If so I find it hard for you to think that way. If not then you’re treating Brutal Legend like a Batman game by predisposing “It can’t be that good” I think Jack Black was made more for video games than movies.
ElementX people said the same thing about when they heard another Batman game.
Well at least SolidCake is looking at the facts saying “I”m not sure if I’ll like this game, I’ll let the demo help me decide whether or not this will be an interesting endeavor”
To which I say, “You’re being honest, and at least your not being too negative.”
Well the good thing is I guess that all of you guys will hopefully be extremely pleasantly suprised, and I’m the only one who has something to lose since I have faily high hopes for the game… But I almost have to buy the game just from the marketing. My favorite band is in here and their music being used for the trailers has pretty much sold me on the game.
Makai – What band is that?
I agree with Binary in that Jack Black is incredibly annoying. I’ll try the game and give it a chance, but I’m pretty sure that just the sound of his voice will make me want to throw MY axe through the TV. Which is saying something. But despite the fact that he generally plays a character who has an immature attitude of I’m so dumb I’m funny… He ain’t writing this game. He’s just a voice actor. So if its fun and gory and funny and there’s some sweet lookin’ polygons – I’m there.
i’m a sick bastard so this game is right up my alley. just gotta find $60 somewhere. hell, i’d buy this game just to laugh my ass off at Activision for dropping such a promising title, then saying “oh wait. no we meant to keep that one and call it Guitar Hero: Tenacious D. then sell it with a plastic axe to swing at your screen for $120.”. assholes. so yeah… i’ll be picking this one up at some point.
The game sounds cool, but I’m still skeptical. I would really want to try the demo first.
@Binary I hate .50 cent. I don’t really like rap/hip-hop in general. Another reason not to get MW2 for me.
Jack Black may be annoying at times, but he often really pull off some funny stuff.
The game has a solid soundtrack, and an awesome theme which makes me really look forward to it (although still skeptical).:P
@MakaiOokami……..yep i have seen the all the different videos, and promo’s (internet) for this game. this isn’t my kind of game and jack black as the character is to me like fingernails on a chalkboard, i don’t think any person as the main character would get me to buy this game, ever. I don’t see the appeal of this game, i am not much for music games (i.e. guitar hero), i am sure it will do okay, but the overall game play i have seen just seems very lackluster in my opinion. The batman demo was pretty good, but i didn’t buy it because i am not a big batman fan. What market do you live in? as i haven’t seen any promo’s for this game other than at the spike tv video game awards, or on the gamestop web site?
@kirobz
i plan on killing him as often as possible if he is on my fire team he will be subject to mor than a few friendly fire incidents, i hope this game does well just to stick it to activision, he was pretty good in Orange County
@BigWhoopMagazine
yeah he is just a voice actor but he has that Robin Williams persona…not the I am hairy than a sasquatch persona but that over the top doesn’t know when to quit and shut up and just do his job thing
r u kidding me…jack black is great… his movies r funny…he is funny… and i bet hes taking a nice dump on all of yous hating right now in his gold toilet. as far as being childish and not buying a game because it has someones voice in it i dont like…now thats a laugh right there… half the time i dont pay attention to the ingame voice anyway.. this sounds like a rental..not must buy…not even buy…maybe in the $20 section in walmart
o..and jack black was made for movies 
…4get mw2 and gimme MAG!!
I’m with lovestruck on this one I do want to play it but I will wait for a bargain price.
you guys bashing Jack Black are all insane…if you don’t like any of his more mainstream work check out Tenacious D and the Pick of Destiny, I can watch that movie over and over again! Anyway I love Jack Black, except Nacho Libre that was pretty horrible, and I know I’ll love this game. Mixing Heavy Metal with an Action/Adventure game, you can’t go wrong unless the developers really drop the ball but I don’t think they will. I’m really looking forward to this game and I’m going to melt everyone’s face off!!
