waah?
really? It was originally pitched as a racing game with never leaving the car!
think about that!
So ok add getting out, and jumping of course...
BUT no not jumping ahh tessellation issues sucked and the surface you see vs the coded surface didnt match most places on the map as it was meant for driving, not walking on, this lead to falling through the map.
its why any game cars or objects drop a little on load, or cars or npcs are in the ground..
tessellation issues to the texture map.
What was really cool is I was friends with Tom before the game, which didnt get great reviews but the fans were loyal, and the soundtrack kicks arse.

Interesting.... I think most people's complaints about Brutal Legend was the fact people really expected God of war 2 style character action combat the whole time.

happy you like deathspank, I had nothing to do with part.. 3
looks around.. nope
brutal legend was also a sob to fix, originally we had jumping.
That fell through, literally the map..
so then it was going to be JUST a racing game + tower defense.
Tim wanted Tower defense only.. and might indeed make a brutal legend tower d game.
or as it was dubbed the "double fine racers" game
A take on old cartoon whacky races, but with all characters from double fine ooo
