In combat the impact of solos can range widely, from melting enemies' faces off to crashing down a flaming zeppelin. More poweful still are the guitar solos, which are learned through exploration and require a quick Guitar Hero-like minigame to execute. Players can chain attacks together, in some cases triggering handy push-back and pyrotechnic effects. On a basic level, this is how much of the game is played - slicing through hordes of enemies, while using the guitar as a ranged weapon. In seconds he is not only wielding an axe against an army of cultists, but literally electrifying them with the power of his rocking. In the single-player mode players assume the role of Eddie Riggs, a roadie transported to the most metal universe imaginable. Brutal Legend plays like neither though, and in some ways defies easy pigeonholing.

The game is designed by Tim Schafer, who PC gamers will remember for adventures like Full Throttle, and console owners will know for Psychonauts. When the chords do fall silent for a few seconds, even then there tends to be something intrinsically "metal" in sight, like a guitar-wielding statue, or a character splitting a hellbeast in two. Some form of metal music is playing at almost any given point in the game, including the menus - if you hate metal with all your heart, consider this fair warning.
The best way of describing Brutal Legend, by Double Fine, is as a love letter to metal.
