Weekly Game Review: Brutal Legend

[HowardC]

I liked this game but I found it puzzling that they thought heavy metal fans would also be rts fans. Makes no sense at all and the game suffered for it. If this had been just a combat/platformer then it would have sold amazingly well. My theory on this is based on the final boss battle, where instead of doing some stupid stage battle with him where you are too busy rallying troops to face him one on one, you actually (gasp!) fight the boss!

Even though it was one of the weaker boss battles in gaming history it was infinately more satisfying than some of the other "boss battles" in the game where it's RTS.
