Brütal Legend (Xbox 360)

I too like others, decided to buy this game after reading an overwhelming amount of praise for this game and boy was I not disappointed! Its the best fun I've had out of a game for ages and I don't think I've ever properly laughed at a game until now, the cut scene are brilliantly done with Jack Black as his comedian best, and Ozzy with his one liners, you'd think I was writing a review for a film haha. Anyway the gameplay itself is rather like Overlord, but done to a better effective and a lot more fun, especially when double teaming with allies. Graphics, although not jawdropping, work in a cartoony kinda way, still looks awesome - this also helps with the framerate in the open world, I've not found any glitches or bugs. Perfect.

But if there was one NIGGLING problem it would be the introduction to the RTS element of the game. I personally am not a fan of RTS, I don't buy games like Red Alert so when this was introduced it took me by surprise and I was a bit gutted. But fortunately its not too daunting, thankfully its like RTS for beginners, still very enjoyable and quite easy to get the hang of after a while.

Overall, fantastic game, download the demo first if need be for the hack and slash element of the game, prepare yaself for the RTS element, then go buy it!
