table border="0" tr td height="340" a name="product_description" iBrütal Legend/i 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. style type="text/css" .caption { font-family: Verdana, Helvetica neue, Arial, serif; font-size: 10px; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; } ul.indent { list-style: inside disc; text-indent: -15px; } table.callout { font-family: verdana; font-size: 11px; line-height: 1. 3em; } td.vgoverview { height: 125px; background: #9DC4D8 url(http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/callout-bg.png) repeat-x; border-left: 1px solid #999999; border-right: 1px solid #999999; padding-left: 20px; padding-right: 20px; padding-bottom: 10px; width: 250px; font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; } /style p/ table align=left width=210 cellpadding=0 tr td valign="top" div align="center"img alt="'Brütal Legend' game logo" title="'Brütal Legend' game logo" src="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/G/01/videogames/detail-page/brutal.legend.logo.200.jpg" border=0 align=top width="200" height="82"/div /td /tr /table table align=right width=250 cellpadding=10 tr td height="194" valign="top"img alt="Eddie battling death rocker zombie types in 'Brütal Legend'" title="Eddie battling death rocker zombie types in 'Brütal Legend'" src="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/G/01/videogames/detail-page/brutal.legend.01.sm.jpg" border=0 align=top width="250" height="141"br center span class="caption"Classic action slasher gameplay with a comic twist.br/ View larger./span /center /td /tr tr td valign="top"img alt="Eddie unleshing the power of Metal on enemies from atop a huge guitar amp stack in 'Brütal Legend'" title="Eddie unleshing the power of Metal on enemies from atop a huge guitar amp stack in 'Brütal Legend'" src="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/G/01/videogames/detail-page/brutal.legend.02.sm.jpg" border=0 align=top width="250" height="141"br center span class="caption"Unleashable Heavy metal powers.br/ View larger./span /center/td /tr tr td height="204" valign="top"img alt="Side-by-side vehicular combat in 'Brütal Legend'" title="Side-by-side vehicular combat in 'Brütal Legend'" src="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/G/01/videogames/detail-page/brutal.legend.03.sm.jpg" border=0 align=top width="250" height="141"br center span class="caption"Over-the-top vehicular combat.br/ View larger./span /center /td /tr tr td height="204" valign="top"img alt="Eddie carrying his love interest Ophelia and surrounded by allies in 'Brütal Legend'" title="Eddie carrying his love interest Ophelia and surrounded by allies in 'Brütal Legend'" src="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/G/01/videogames/detail-page/brutal.legend.05.sm.jpg" border=0 align=top width="250" height="141"br center span class="caption"8-player multiplayer support.br/ View larger./span /center /td /tr tr td height="204" valign="top"img alt="Eddie about to engage a mounted grim reaper with his battle axe in 'Brütal Legend'" title="Eddie about to engage a mounted grim reaper with his battle axe in 'Brütal Legend'" src="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/G/01/videogames/detail-page/brutal.legend.06.sm.jpg" border=0 align=top width="250" height="141"br center span class="caption"Challenging bosses baddies.br/ View larger./span /center /td /tr tr td height="204" valign="top"img alt="Eddie taking out mounted reapers with his hot rod in 'Brütal Legend'" title="Eddie taking out mounted reapers with his hot rod in 'Brütal Legend'" src="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/G/01/videogames/detail-page/brutal.legend.04.sm.jpg" border=0 align=top width="250" height="141"br center span class="caption"A driving 108-tune Metal soundtrack.br/ View larger./span /center /td /tr /table bStory/bbr/ The vivid and wildly creative world of iBrütal Legend/i is brought to life through a spate of chrome, leather, rocker babes, epic music, fire-breathing/stud-wearing beasts, mountains made of guitar amps, and more. Follow Eddie as he embarks on a tour of epic destruction with an axe, a guitar, and his minions as he commands the power of rock in epic band battles. It’s lighter-flicking awesomeness that will melt your face clean off. p/ bAction Combat/bbr/ iBrütal Legend/i’s core gameplay is classic action slasher, but with a twist: ranged combat comes from your demon-slaying, electricity-creating guitar. Add that 1-2 punch to a guitar solo mechanic that can summon objects, buff your teammates, or cripple your opponents, and you have a deep, gratifying core gameplay combat loop that is fun for the hardcore and accessible for the casual. p/ bA Streaming Open World/bbr/ iBrütal Legend/i gives you the freedom to walk, drive, or fly anywhere in a fully streaming open world whose art style is inspired by some of the most iconic and hilariously rad metal album covers ever created. Every vista in the beautiful universe of iBrütal Legend/i looks like it was pulled from a Frank Frazetta painting. p/ bPacked with Cameos and Voice Talent/bbr/ iBrütal Legend/i is full of cameos from gods of metal like Lemmy Kilmister, Rob Halford, Lita Ford, and many, many others. It has a MASSIVE metal soundtrack from every era of metal music: 1970’s classic metal to 1980’s hair metal to the scarier cousins of 1990’s metal. And of course, Jack Black pays the ultimate homage to metal as Eddie the Roadie, continuing the theme from the work of his band, Tenacious D and his previous films like School of Rock and High Fidelity. p/ bMultiplayer Mayhem/bbr/ 4v4 "skirmish" multiplayer marries action combat with a strategic unit-control mechanic. As the leader of one of the factions in the game, the player will direct his armies in a Battle of the Bands where the trophy is survival. iBrütal Legend/i’s multiplayer is online-enabled, so you can conquer your friends online via Xbox LIVE (broadband connection required for online play). p/ bSoundtrack/bbr/ The soundtrack of iBrütal Legend/i is truly massive. Made up of 108 of the most rocking tracks from 75 different bands representing every sub-genre of metal, it is something to experience in and of itself.
