Game of the year for me so far.… Expand

The game is far from perfect, but in a world dominated by sequels and generic titles, any thing this creative should be recognized as such. Schafer is an artist, he has proved this time and time again. he is not the best game designer but his games have more than enough character to redeem any flaws in game design. if you look at the full review from any of the scores above you'll see they all say how fun the game is, then they tear it down. personally i would prefer a fun game over a perfect game.… Expand

   Imagine, if you will, that you are a professor grading short stories, and one student turns in the most amazing story you have read. However, Imagine, if you will, that you are a professor grading short stories, and one student turns in the most amazing story you have read. However, it's missing things like decent punctuation, correct spelling, and has coffee stains all over it. This pretty much describes Brutal Legend. The game itself is impressive in many respects, but it has visible and basic flaws which you just cannot give a perfect score as a result of. Many of these defects are things like sound for unique dialogue which you could accidentally interrupt, repetitive dialogue, idle animations which are too "loopy", and other things that seem to give the game the feel that it has a lack of polish. Nevertheless, the central story is great and at times funny, and really defines what kind of transformation game story-telling should take now that everyone has "been there and done that" in terms of gameplay. Speaking of gameplay, this is not likely something you've played before. The entire campaign is there to teach you battle mode, and actually feels a like it ends a little abruptly. I beat it after 4 days, playing 2 - 5 hours a day (about 14 hours of gameplay) on the brutal difficulty. This doesn't count the amount of time you could spend driving around looking for all the hidden goodies on the landscape. It's not a real time strategy game by the way. Rather, it fits into the Real Time Action Strategy genre, originally defined by the game BattleZone (1998). After a few online games, I can say that the design so far has held up, there aren't any obvious imbalances between the 3 factions (which are actually pretty unique). Unfortunately, all strategy games have required patching, and patching on a console has always been very flaky and limited, so we will see how long this goes before some cheese shows up that ruins the game. The good news is so far, a lot of the online components, at least for 1v1s, work well. For some reason your basic controls (such as pulling up and selecting something from a menu) are affected by lag, but I've had decent success even with "yellow" lag games. There are times when your character wont respond that I'm sure will get frustrating time and time again, but either I've never been host, or the host advantage in the game is actually fair and lags both the clients and the host in a fair way. One drawback is that getting together a team (which seems like it would be the most fun) requires inviting people, and there is no auto-match element to get put on a random team like halo or gears. Overall, the RTAS element is pretty fun though, and its a shame that this will undoubtingly be the most misunderstood aspect of the game despite how careful the campaign is to the introduce you to its elements. Overall, this game is best fit as a renter. Its unique gameplay definitely wont appease everyone, but in the process of renting the game you need to give it a chance to fully understand it (i.e. more than 4 hours). The campaign is enjoyable but beatable in a week, and you might not enjoy the multiplayer aspect enough to merit owning the game.… Expand

   Attention, ceci est un jeu démoulé par Double Fine Productions… et là normalement tout est dit. Car comme chacun le sait, cette petite boîteAttention, ceci est un jeu démoulé par Double Fine Productions… et là normalement tout est dit. Car comme chacun le sait, cette petite boîte est spécialisée dans les jeux de merde (évidemment) mais elle est aussi et surtout spécialisée dans les jeux de merde débiles !
   
   La débilité est en effet son crédo et depuis qu’elle existe, double Fine n’a jamais fait que des jeux débiles, plus ou moins débiles, parfois un peu moins débiles et d’autres fois carrément… super débiles ! on ne sait jamais jusqu’où ils vont aller mais ils vont toujours plus loin et continuent de creuser, sans cesse…
   
   Ainsi, ce brutal machin de mes deux est un hommage aux métaleux mais ça ne leur rend pas hommage, malgré tout ce fan service dont on les affuble et dont ils sont victimes, en dépit ou grâce à tous ces clichés qui les illustrent dans ce jeu de merde ultra débile de Débiles Fine Productions.
   
   L’humour fatigue rapidement et ne fera rire que les ados un peu mongolos dans leur tête ou ceux qui ont encore trop fumé de pétards… le « gameplay » est super simple… et super débile ; la répétitivité (caractère de ce qui est répétitif) de ce machin brutal est extrêmement répétitive ; enfin, je ne voudrais pas me répéter mais c’est ultra débile… et incroyablement ennuyeux ! les graphismes sont clairement vilains, la technique est faiblarde et les ralentissements sont fréquents. Bref… c’est de la merde !… Expand
