That’s right, forget Guitar Hero and Rock Band as this is a game in which using a plastic guitar is not needed at all. The great thing about this one is that you need no large spaces to play it in and no plastic guitar. So what am I on about?

Brutal Legend is the game that I am on about here and the game itself is based upon album art from classic rock with the main guy voiced by the funny Jack Black. This is no game for kids, not by any means as this game comes with an 18 certificate plastered on the front of it even though you do have an option at the start of the game to take out the swearing. Not sure why anyone would do this, then again perhaps if you are playing it in front of children without the swearing it may actually be an acceptable game.

of course an 18 certificate isnt just about the swearing, there is a lot of violence in this game and however fun it may be, do not let your kids play it. The multiplayer element of the game is a lot different to what you would normally expect. It is more strategy based than the single player game as you have to spawn an army of followers that will help you fight the other team.

The weapons in the game include a gigantic battle axe and one of those awesome looking guitars that you see in classic rock. It is not really based on one of those Bass Guitars or Acoustic Guitars but is a combination of all things rock.

As well as Jack Black there are many other stars that have been cast for this game that include Tim Curry, Lita Ford and the legendary Ozzy Osbourne. This game really does have a brilliant and gripping storyline that contains many funny moments.
