![]() ![]() Schaefer’s latest game, Brutal Legend however is a different beast entirely. His past games, like Maniac Mansion, The Secret of Monkey Island and Grim Fandango have achieved cult status among gamers and his 2005 Xbox title Psychonauts is widely regarded as one of the greatest and most underappreciated titles of the last ten years. Tim Schaefer has long been considered to be one of the gaming industry’s best kept secrets. And that is saying something given how short the single player game turns out.Brutal Legend - Cheat Happens Game Review It just seems like they threw way, way too much shit into the game and neglected to cut out the pieces that didn't quite fit. Suddenly, you're playing a rhythm game every time you want to cast a spell, and then the game becomes an RTS. The world is beautiful, but it's devoid of things to do. Then, the game goes open world and loses a little bit of speed. At this point, the gameplay variety is excellent. Then, you play a driving game for a few minutes, before a giant boss battle which makes you think the entire game will be full of awesome shit like this. For example: you begin by hacking and slashing. Yet all of that gets lost when there are all these different types of gameplay being jammed together and not held together particularly well. It has great characters, better than average writing, and a wonderful setting. Still, Kotick sucks and is cyst full of puss. Still, in the end I was disappointed, and now I am even sadder knowing that a sequel will be a ways off, a sequel which could have improved on many of the flaws. I did enjoy the game and loved a whole lot about it. ![]() I hope this doesn't come across as overly negative. I enjoyed likening RTS-type battles to throwing a bitchin' metal concert, which was a very novel idea, but I wasn't enthralled with the gameplay. I think it worked for the most part, and had its moments, but I was going in expecting an action-adventure with a bit more emphasis on adventure (knowing Schafer's background). I also was not a big fan of the RTS-inspired gameplay. Now, I know lots of games have these sorts of tasks on hand, but for me they stood out in this game because they were a sharp contrast to the amazing style. There were many menial tasks that were very repetitive and boring. I think the decision to make it an "open-world" game was a very poor one. I had very high hopes for this game, and while I especially enjoyed the music, the art style and the characters, I was very disappointed by the gameplay aspect. In lieu of the recent garbage-spewing by Kotick, I thought I would offer up my opinion on Brutal Legend. Click here for a list of other gaming subreddits.
