About Brütal Legend

Brütal Legend is an action-adventure that marries visceral action combat with open-world freedom. Set in a universe somewhere between Lord of the Rings and Spinal Tap, it’s a fresh take on the action/driving genre, which in this case is full of imitation cover bands, demons intent on enslaving humanity and Heavy metal tunes. Featuring the talents of comedian, actor and musician, Jack Black as super roadie Eddie Riggs, as well as cameos by some of the biggest names in metal music it's a wild ride in the belly of the beast that is not to be missed by gamers and Metalheads alike.

    Brutal Legend es tan infravalorado. Fue una muy grata sorpresa jugarlo en su momento

    C'est tellement vrai ! Le mélange entre l'univers heavy metal, l'humour de Jack Black et le casting de légendes (Lemmy, Ozzy, Rob Halford...) en faisait un jeu unique. Le virage vers la stratégie en temps réel en a dérouté plus d'un, mais quelle ambiance incroyable ! Une vraie pépite sous-estimée.
