Comment on Mid game review: Brütal Legend (2009) PS3

I pre-ordered this game because I loved Psychonauts and this game was marketed as a sort of heavy metal themed Zelda game.

I then learned about 2 hours in that its also an RTS, which is a genre I never got along with and set it down never to be played again. Thankfully, when you’re a patient gamer, you can’t be lied to by advertising.

The marketing was really weird. I tought it also was a Zelda / God of War heavy metal game. They showed tons of trailers with the first boss but little after that. But the entire game was an RTS game and I did complete but… But was a little disappointed.

  What? I remember only small parts of the game being an rts. Didnt really like that part, but it was definitely not “the entire game”

I definitely remember reading about it a while before release in Game Informer, and I think the game was originally going to just be an RTS. At some point they made 3rd person gameplay most of the playtime and the RTS separate. As far as I remember the RTS battles are all in the main story and theres no way to play more RTS battles if you wanted to (theyre mid anyway).

The game was also obviously incomplete, with the whole middle act being especially bare bones.
