Brütal Legend is an incredible mix of RPG and STR, where you lead the armies of Rock and Metal against an overwhelming menace bent on conquering the whole of a lovingly crafted fantasy world.
While the gameplay is sometime clunky and the difficulty curve pretty steep (with certain missions being insanely more difficult than the rest), the quality of the world design and the awesomeness of the soundtrack quite make up for it.
Perhaps best of it all the game doesn't take itself seriously, succeeding in the challenge of offering both an epic story, served by an incredibly charismatic cast of characters, and light take on the clichés of Fantasy Metal, whitout ever being boring or disrespectful of its material and inspirations.
All in all, Brütal Legend is a very good game offering a unique and fresh adventure, quite welcome in today's RPGs landscape dominated by the High-Fantasy genre.
