My brother hates RTS games. He literally won't play anything other than FPS's (im still trying to get him to play Psychonauts). he got Brutal Legend and loved it. I have yet to try it, but if you are into the metal culture enough, i dont think it will make much difference.
My brother only like to watch Brutal Legend matches. He picks one game and plays it for months, and that game is Left 4 Dead 2. But he loved Battlezone for PC so he likes that Brutal Legend is similar.
haha thats convenient. my brother has nearly every achieve for both l4d's. he loves them and played l4d for about a yr before he really got anything else. i know what you mean, haha

I am not a fan of RTS games, but I did really enjoy the 'rts' sections of Brutal Legend. Imagine that you're on a battlefield shouting commands to people, that's all the Brutal Legend RTS gameplay is meant to simulate. "Everybody on me!" "Tear down that shitty merch booth!" "Go to your mark!" It's simplistic but in a way that I feel is cohesive with the rest of the game play.

As for sorting your priorities, your desire to play Brutal Legend should be based on the following criteria:

1. Do you like Motorhead?
2. Do you like Ozzy Osborne's first two albums?
3. Do you like Judas Priest?
4. Did you ever wish you were in one of these great bands, or a band just as great?
5. Did you ever wish you were the kick-ass warrior starring in the fantasy art adorning an Iron Maiden album cover?

If you said yes to two or more of those, then Brutal Legend was made specifically to give people like you a hard-on. If not, then this is strictly a rental. Too short and not replayable enough to warrant adding to your collection until you've tried it for yourself.

Me, on the other hand, I said yes to all five. I've beat it nearly three times.

Oh, yea... If you try it and find out that the RTS gameplay is satisfying, then you'll have a lot of fun with the multiplayer. That part I didn't so much get into, because like I said I'm not an RTS fan so I didn't have the patience to figure out proper strategies for playing the different legions against each other.

Yeah, the key thing to remember about Brutal Legend is that it's Double Fine's first multiplayer game. And they worked the multiplayer really fucking hard for two years. It's a big factor to how long BL is going to last for you.

the MP was actually developed before the single player part (and before Activision fucked them over.)

Its a repeat topic, there was one made to discuss this VERY issue. Don't get defensive because you didn't bother to look.
I can't find it.

SNIP
FOR the COMPLAINERS
Go to the video archive, find his brutal legend review and there is a comment thread listed on the review page.

AGAINST the COMPLAINERS
If he found the comment thread and restarted it, every last one of you would be harping on how he should never restart an old ass thread.

For the OP
People will be jerks to you even if you followed every rule of the net. They're jerks. That is what they do. Just don't respond to them.

I can recommend Brütal Legend... and if you're unsure about it, why not just rent it first?
Its a good question. My problem with renting the game is that its already short of the more you play the game beforehand the less content there is to buy with your $60.
So why not rent it, beat it and use the remainder of the 60 bucks for a game you can't beat in the rental period?

Call of Duty MW2 must be a very short game then.

Brutal Legend has multiplayer. Beat the game and give the MP a spin.

I liked it, it was fun, but it's not worth buying. After you finish the game that's pretty much it. You can go around looking for the rest of the collectables but it's just sand-box padding.

Multiplayer, quality or not, does not excuse the lackluster single-player campaign.
