Summary
Brutal Legend is the newest game from devel- opment house Double Fine and the mind of gam- ing legend (and total weirdo) Tim Schäfer. The story follows a charac- ter named Eddie Riggs (voiced by and based on Jack Black) , an under-appreci- ated roadie who works for some awful emo-esque rap -metal band. Through a freak accident, Eddie is killed onstage and brought back to life by a metal god in a surreal universe based on the coolest album art from 70s metal bands such as Judas Priest and Black Sabbath. Think sci-fi, comic-book and album-cover artist Frank Frazetta's body of work, and you get the general idea.
Eddie finds himself thrust into the middle of a war between lovers of pure metal and those who would over-commercialize and water it down. As the story progresses, ridiculously funny characters based on metal legends are introduced: a field medicbased on (and voiced by) Motörhead's Lemmy, an evil glamrock general voiced by Judas Priest's Rob Halford and a keeper of metal lore voiced by none other than Prince of Darkness Ozzy Osbonrne.See the full content of this document
