I bought Brutal Legend when it first came out, but got stuck on a driving sequence after defeating Lionwhyte. I could not for the life of me figure out where I needed to go and got killed by the monsters chasing you.
I started over and beat that segment in one try. I also couldn't believe how much I enjoyed myself despite the bad move Double Fine did in implementing the RTS segments into it. The world is amazing, the characters had so much detail in their designs, it's really funny, and it was such a unique experience. I only wish Double Fine hadn't been forced to release the game before they were ready because it shows. The final fight in this game is complete joke; if the player can beat the final boss on their first try you're doing it wrong.
It's a shame the sequel got canned. I was hoping we'd get to play as Riggnarok.
I'm so glad you finally beat that game though. I am with you, I wish there was a sequel to it, or at least a DLC that let you go beyond the Great Highway. If you travel to the edge of the map there is a warning message that said something along the lines of you will be able to go there in the next adventure of Brutal Legend. I think they were already planning to make one somewhere beyond that landscape but as you said, sequel got canned.
Oh, did you find all the hidden backstory bits? Looked like a blue mist skull thing you have to free with that ground slam attack/song?
