The quality of the character models doesn’t disappoint, and while the animations could have done with a little touching up in certain areas, you’ll never be let down by any of the characters that you come across while you’re driving across the landscape. GRAPHICS: The visuals in Brütal Legend were another aspect of the title that were always impressive, as seeing the small references to all the music you grew up listening never gets old – even seeing something as simple as those telescopes that dot coastal English seaside resorts, only this time styled as the head of Iron Maiden’s mascot Eddie.
#THE EVIL WITHIN BRUTAL LEGEND PS3 UPGRADE#
The first time you visit the in-game shop only to discover that the Prince of Darkness himself is going to be helping you upgrade your items is one of the most mind-blowing moments of this console generation you’ll constantly be questioning if you really just saw what you think you did. Broadly speaking, the plot has been done before in many other genres, sometimes even done better, but there’s nothing quite like seeing how the developers have managed to twist and turn your favourite Heavy Metal songs, albums and artists to suit their own terms. The story, as a Heavy Metal fan, is one of the most impressive aspects of Brütal Legend. Ormagöden proceeds to send Eddie to a totally new realm, one that’s fully inspired by Heavy Metal and could very well turn out to be Mr. A piece of the stage falls on Eddie and blood from his wounds falls onto a Motörhead inspire belt buckle summoning Ormagöden, The Eternal Firebeast, into our own realm. STORY: The story in Brütal Legend follows Eddie Riggs, the best roadie in the Heavy Metal business, who is deeply wounded when trying to save a member of the worst Heavy Metal band in the world from plummeting to his death. What could go wrong? Well, my friend, sit down and let me tell you a story… On paper, this is a game that would have found it difficult to do anything wrong: the comedic talent of Jack Black, the quirky humour of Double Fine, the vocal stylings of some of the greatest Heavy Metal artists of all time and a music catalogue straight off of a ‘Best of Heavy Metal’ album. “God gave Heavy Metal, and he saw that it was good” is a line from a Manowar song, but if The Almighty actually did give the world the joyous sounds of Heavy Metal, then he would have done so in a world that looks quite a lot like the world of Double Fine’s Brütal Legend.
