Assuming Brutal Legend actually makes it out this year (right now, it’s listed as a December release), it’s going to be one of the holiday season’s best games. You don’t really need to do much convincing about how good it’s going to be if the name Tim Schafer is attached to it. Still, PSXextreme revealed a little bit about the upcoming title’s fighting system, just in case you weren’t already interested.



You've got a character named Eddie Riggs, and his two weapons are both axes. Well, one is an actual battle axe and the other a guitar. The battle axe is Eddie's primary attack, and it works much like Devil May Cry's sword attack does - basic, yet effective. Riggs will shred on the guitar when he needs to cast various types of magic, and performing these magic attacks will require timed combo entry on your controller.

 There's a good deal of variation in magic attacks, for example, there's the Face Melting solo attack - an attack that, quite literally, kills an enemy with a sick solo that melts their face. Another attack casts flames to form from the ground and burn down your enemies - a display of pyrotechnics much like what's done at concerts today.

Face Melting Solo Attack?! Say no more, I’m so there. Stay tuned to Gamervision for more information on this rock and roll adventure, because you’ll better believe I’ll be jumping on every piece of information I can get about it.
