Review: Brutal Legend (PC)

If Brutal Legend is remembered for one thing, I hope it's the intro scene and main menu. Jack Black walks down the street while telling the player about a secret thing. He wanders into a record store and pulls out an album. As if to hint at the metal within, the price tag reads $6.66. Pressing the start button flips open the album and it's off to the races.

Not since the main menu of Psychonauts, has a game been able to tell the player almost everything they needed to know about the game even before one second of the game has been played.
