Killzone brought the noise in more ways than one but the changing game types within one online game was pretty sweet. WINNER: Killzone 2 (Changing Game Modes Within A Consistent Online Match) Getting back into the Capital Wasteland never felt so good. Offering hours and hours more gameplay and an extended level cap to boot, the various DLC packs for Fallout 3 were well above anything else that arrived this year. Throw the PSP resurgence into the mix and it adds up to one brilliant era for games.Īnyway, now onto the main event! The awards you’ve been waiting for… With so many great games arriving and with plenty of 2008’s hits ( Bioshock/ Fallout 3/ GTA IV/ Metal Gear Solid 4 etc) falling in price it’s a great time to own a PS3. It’s a shame as there is a good story and a great game world there to be explored but it’s hampered by the somewhat clumsy RTS parts.Ģ009 has, in my opinion, been one of the best years ever to be a gamer. Overall I think Brutal Legend suffers from the indecision of it’s creators, or perhaps the grand ideas they had for the game as a mix of genres that just didn’t come off. In particular the ‘facemelter’ solo always brought a smile to my face. The world is fun to play around in and the mix of axe and guitar attacks make the game a giggle at times. The universe created by Tim Schafer is a vivid one that evokes old album covers and even features Lemmy and Ozzy Osbourne as characters. I guess this game might be a good way to find out if you might like the genre or not. However that also may be because I’m relatively inexperienced with RTS games.ĭuring the big RTS battles I’d often know what I was supposed to be doing but just couldn’t find the right combo of ‘soldiers’ – even then most of the time the battle would just end with a victory without me having any idea what had triggered the win. The main problem seems to be that the game couldn’t decide what it wanted to be – personally I found the driving, exploration and hack n slash sections to suit the music and story better than the RTS bits. I really enjoyed Brutal Legend, it’s mix of hack n slash and RTS (Real Time Strategy) didn’t quite do it for me but the story and voice acting carried me through it. The game tells the story of Eddie Riggs (Black), a roadie who finds himself in a mystical metal filled world and becomes embroiled in a battle to save it’s inhabitants. I like Jack Black and the music tracklist for the game looked great – Brutal Legend truly is a homage to the Metal genre. How to install the save game ? (savegame location / folder ?)Ģ.After being impressed with the demo I was looking forward to playing Brutal Legend. As if that wasn’t enough, you can slay your friends and foes online, then play guitar licks on their graves! Of course, Brutal Legend is only complete with the most ultimate heavy metal soundtrack ever assembled in a game You’ll also learn to devastate with your guitar, playing face-melting solos that actually melt the faces of your enemies, command savage armies, bang skulls in hand-to-hand combat, and rise like a bat out of hell to command blood-drenched action from above. In this world you can rev up any vehicle, rock its weapons, and crush the enemies of metal. In Brutal Legend, you’ll roam through a massive open-world born from the hell fires of heavy metal. With the wings of a demon and the power of a Rock God, you must lead humanity in an epic war against its barbaric overlords, and carve your name forever into the Brutal Legend. You are heavy metal roadie Eddie Riggs, hurled back in time to the mythical Age of Metal when the world was formed and ruled by the power of Rock! Armed with a broadaxe, a guitar, and a big block V8 you set off on an epic quest to assemble an army of headbangers, hotrods, barbarians, demonic dominatrix and the undead. ![]() From the mind of Tim Schafer (Psychonauts, Grim Fandango) comes Brutal Legend, a heavy metal action game starring Jack Black (School of Rock, Tenacious D).
