Brutal legend ps3 online full#In typical Schafer fashion, the world is full of over-the-top-but-not-flamboyant (unless intentional) characters which propel it from being an otherwise mediocre experience to an exceedingly fun and entertaining one. When Eddie can read the ancient/mythical writings of the Titans’ – scriptures of untold power and awesomeness – the resistance fighters assume he is the prodigal ‘chosen one’ and the adventure unfolds from there. While there, he meets up with a small band of resistance fighters trying to overthrow Doviculus, a tyrant/emperor trying to forever change metal as we know it (or something like that). And now, with the PC re-release of the title, I’m even more optimistic I figure even if it doesn’t necessarily strike a chord with me (pun intended), I’d still be able to enjoy it for what it is – a Tim Schafer metal-adventure starring Jack Black! The story goes that while on tour with a “metal” band, roadie Eddie Riggs gets in an accident which inadvertently unleashes the rock demon, Ormagoden, who transports him to his underverse of the same name… Basically a Heavy Metal-inspired Oz that looks like Rock and Roll Mordor (which conversely conjures the “one does not simply into Mordor” meme). So when these two titans joined forces for Brutal Legend on consoles back in 2009, during the height of the rock-game renaissance borne from Guitar Hero and Rock Band, I was fairly hopeful. Ironically, I feel the same way about Jack Black even when his movies are annoying (like when he gets crammed into a PG-box like School of Rock), I generally don’t hate them. Full Throttle and Psychonauts I loved, Grim Fandango and Stacking I appreciated. When it comes to Tim Schafer games, I either love them or merely just appreciate them. On paper, the combination of Jack Black and Tim Schafer in a Metal-inspired action-adventure game seems too perfect to be true.
