Story
The vivid and wildly creative world of Brütal Legend is brought to life
through a spate of chrome, leather, rocker babes, epic music,
fire-breathing/stud-wearing beasts, mountains made of guitar amps, and more.
Follow Eddie as he embarks on a tour of epic destruction with an axe, a guitar,
and his minions as he commands the power of rock in epic band battles. It’s
lighter-flicking awesomeness that will melt your face clean off.
Action Combat
Brütal Legend’s core gameplay is classic action slasher, but with a
twist: ranged combat comes from your demon-slaying, electricity-creating guitar.
Add that 1-2 punch to a guitar solo mechanic that can summon objects, buff your
teammates, or cripple your opponents, and you have a deep, gratifying core
gameplay combat loop that is fun for the hardcore and accessible for the casual.
A Streaming Open World
Brütal Legend gives you the freedom to walk, drive, or fly anywhere in a
fully streaming open world whose art style is inspired by some of the most
iconic and hilariously rad metal album covers ever created. Every vista in the
beautiful universe of Brütal Legend looks like it was pulled from a Frank
Frazetta painting.
Packed with Cameos and Voice Talent
Brütal Legend is full of cameos from gods of metal like Lemmy Kilmister,
Rob Halford, Lita Ford, and many, many others. It has a MASSIVE metal soundtrack
from every era of metal music: 1970’s classic metal to 1980’s hair metal to the
scarier cousins of 1990’s metal. And of course, Jack Black pays the ultimate
homage to metal as Eddie the Roadie, continuing the theme from the work of his
band, Tenacious D and his previous films like School of Rock and High Fidelity.
Multiplayer Mayhem
4v4 "skirmish" multiplayer marries action combat with a strategic unit-control
mechanic. As the leader of one of the factions in the game, the player will
direct his armies in a Battle of the Bands where the trophy is survival.
Brütal Legend’s multiplayer is online-enabled, so you can conquer your
friends online via Xbox LIVE (broadband connection required for online play).
Soundtrack
The soundtrack of Brütal Legend is truly massive. Made up of 108 of the
most rocking tracks from 75 different bands representing every sub-genre of
metal, it is something to experience in and of itself. The complete track list
