We already know you want this 1,000-of-a-kind Brütal Legend statue, even though you haven't yet perused the gallery of images found below, so we'll cut to the chase. These are going to be pretty hard to come by. All we know right now is that you'll find more information on how to get your hands on one of these hyper-detailed, 17-inch beauties -- depicting protagonist Eddie Riggs in mid-dismemberment -- on the official Brütal Legend website and Twitter feed.

With 1,000 available, we have a suspicion some may eventually be available to buy, rather than win, but if that happens don't expect them to be cheap. And good luck winning one -- you've got us to compete with.

Ok am i missing something here because iv never seen this before.
Is it from a game coming out or is it already out?

[Ico.]

It's from a game not out yet...

From the mind of Tim Schafer comes the ultimate heavy metal action game starring Jack Black. You are heavy metal roadie Eddie, Riggs, hurled back in time to the mythical Age of Metal when the world was formed and ruled by the power of Rock

Link to story trailer

Brütal Legend’s core gameplay is classic Action. From close quarter blows delivered by The Separator, Eddie’s blood soaked broad axe, to ranged combat from your demon-slaying guitar named Clementine, as well as vehicular attacks supplied by your hot rod, The Deuce (aka The Druid Plow), Brütal Legend delivers deep, rewarding, fun combat that will have you throwing your “devil horns” in the air.

Inspired by some of the most iconic album art and lyrics of all-time, Brütal Legend features a streaming, open world rich with detail, from mountains made of guitar amps to big block V8 engines rising from the ground, delivering a world truly unique and unlike anything you’ve seen before.

Lead by Jack Black as the voice of Eddie Riggs, the epic cast of Brütal Legend features vocal talent providing by some of Metal’s biggest names, including Rob Halford of Judas Priest, Lemmy Kilmister of Motörhead, Lita Ford and more.

Take the Metal madness online in Brütal Legend’s Multiplayer mode that combines action combat with a strategic unit-control mechanic that allows the player to direct their army in The Battle of the Bands, where the ultimate trophy is survival
Gain “Lighter Tributes” throughout the world and visit The Motorforge, where you can upgrade The Separator, Clementine and The Deuce to make them even more lethal on the battlefields

Tim Schafer

Known for creating a level depth and humor in his characters, Tim Schafer is consistently recognised as one of the gaming industry’s premier designers and has written such classics as Full Throttle, Grim Fandango and PsychoNauts.

Fully Licensed Soundtrack

Brütal Legend will feature a fully licensed soundtrack that includes some of the greatest Metal and Rock and Roll songs ever assembled.

[lewis.jackson]

Ha ha this sounds great.
Jack Black is a god and if he is behind the game then i know its going to be funny as hell and maybe even good to play.

[Guns_LotsOfGuns]

Apparently there isnt a Preview Thread for this so thought id convert this one

Been keeping an eye on this one and its certainly looking good, i thought Jack Black would put me off but its actually ok, there is loads of gameplay footage up on GiantBomb & Gametrailers definatly one to watch.

Oh and i do kinda want that figure!

That is fine as I'm "sans" 360 after my RROD last Monday night... and I wouldn't want people to be playing without me.

My 360 is currently in Frankfurt on a night out!

[EyesOnly]

I was looking forward to getting my hands on the demo. Still the Forza 3 demo will do me for now

Had a look and it looks like you ned to be gold.

And have a pre order code from Gamestop

[D2TheQ]

Just checked out Brutal Legends twitter and says

The Demo will be available to EU, Xbox Silver Members and PSN on Rocktober 1st. Please hang tight!

But as said in above posts US memebers can download now HERE.

[EyesOnly]

So has the demo for this landed after what seems to be like an eternity waiting for it to turn up here in Europe for us non pre-order folks?

If so, is it any good?

Cheers

It's a week today since it was released on the US marketplace, which means you can now get the demo with just a Silver (free) US XBL account anyway. I'm about 50% through the download on my US account at the moment....

[EyesOnly]

I shall give it a whirl later

Just downloading now, could not find a direct link however the US page worked. Download here from your desktop / laptop.

EDIT

Just downloaded and played through. Can safely say i will be getting this on release day, was laughing all through the cut scenes.

Graphics were nice but glitchy in some places. The camera was a little disappointing but totally playable. Saw 4 diffrent strikes involving a guitar and axe, all link up pretty nicely and unlocked the car which rocked. Demo was very short but showcased a lot of the back story through cut scenes. Definatly worth a free download.

Cant wait to see how multiplayer turns out

[durera]

The demo is very short. Certainly left me wanting to play the full game, although I don't think I'll get it on release day, I'll wait for the 2nd hand price to drop to £20 odd before buying as I don't think it'll take too long until people start wanting to trade it in despite the multiplayer.

Looks like an average game gameplay wise imo, but with a cool story to it.
