An awesome and unique metal inspired world is brought down by a seriously bizarre gameplay direction. What starts out as a fun action adventure game quickly turns into a monotonous and poorly executed real time strategy. I've never loved a 3/5 game as much as I have this one, it has some of the highest highs brought down by the lowest lows, and I really hope a sequel gets made one day. It's a shame Brutal Legend is worth playing despite it's ambitious RTS mechanics, and not because of them.
