glad to see not everyone liked this, the humor was not enough for me to enjoy the game, and i love tim scahfer, metal and rts's.
and i have a hard time seeing the resembles between tim and jack, they look alike in the pictures you choose but in all the others pictures and clips ive seen they look nothing alike, also theres a video of them together on double fines site.

I felt the same way about the rts parts, wasnt expecting those at all. Overall i still like the game though.
wow i was think of getting based off the escapist's review but now... anyway another awesome review (im guessing borderlands next week but thats just me)
yeah i didnt expect much from this game. im glad to actually hear some criticism of it. still wondering if Yahtzee will review Uncharted 2. curious what he will think of that one.
edit: i forgot to add how much i hate jack black. its a shame that dying in the game will not affect him living in real life.

nice to finally meet a review that can actually naysay the game rather than "Well it's Shaffer so I'll let it slide", combat sucked and RTS parts were boring, only interesting thing was the story and that was several hours shorter than it should've been
This game never really appealed to me in the first place, I can't see why everyone's fawning over it.
Also thank you for making a point of the Umlaut

Yeah, I did get more of a Jack Black vibe from this game, but then again, I don't exactly hate Jack Black.
I was appreciative of the few Psychonauts nods throught the game, but I, and everyone else on the planet it would seem, fully agree that the RTS really bogs the game down.
It sad, though, because I feel as if this game's sales are going to directly affect whether or not we'll ever get to see Psychonauts 2.
The game's still enjoyable, to a degree, but every compliant here is legit.
Also, seriously, where the fuck is the Hornblower?

Yes, pretty much my opinions as well, right from the beginning of WANTING to give this game a lot more credit simply because Schafer was at the helm, but really I couldn't stand certain elements. It's not *bad*, it's just really not up to par. The RTS portion isn't terrible, but it's really disjointed. They crammed so many genres together at once (RTS, driving, action combat, and rhythm action) that the whole things sags under the weight, if not outright collapses.
That and I'm not a very big metal fan, and according to my contemporaries back home (GameFAQs), that means I just don't "get it".
As for the Jack Black comments, I personally felt that given his style and his definition of panache that he was the perfect person for this role, and to be honest, he actually fits quite well, in my opinion.

Well Im kinda dissapointed at Brutal Legends negatives. I wasnt planning on buying the game new, I never do unless its Bioware, but if i was going to I would now just rent it or wait its price out.
Hell maybe I'll just watch someone play it on youtube for me. Worked with Wet.
Coincedently does anyone know a good website for that sort of thing? Watching someone play a game for you adequetly so you can enjoy the story?
