Unlike the play-along focus of the “Guitar Hero” and “Rock Band” franchises, “Brütal Legend” offers a comedic fantasy homage to the world of heavy metal. It stars Jack Black as roadie Eddie Riggs and features appearances by Judas Priest frontman Rob Halford, Motörhead’s Lemmy and Ozzy Osbourne. The game draws heavily on the imagery and lyrics of heavy metal albums at all levels — from plot to art direction to dialogue — and features a soundtrack of more than 100 songs.
