Heeeelllllloooo everybody!

I just finished Brütal Legend for like the fifth time, I like metal, video games and Jack Black. Needless to say, it's my favourite game!
Anyway, I saw someone somewhere saying that Brütal Legend is "one of the best heavy metal themed video game out there"... One of..? Is there more of them?!

I searched a bit and all i found is "THIS IS A HACK N'SLASH! SO IT'S LIKE BRUTAL LEGEND" or "TWISTED METAL, THERE'S METAL IN THE TITLE!"...
I know that there's not a single game AS metal as this one, but did you know any?
Also i'm sorry if me anglish is little suck x)

Thanks for the help brothers \m/

EDIT

Here's the list of all the answers, so maybe this thread can help others just like it helped me! Sometimes i'll put a little (the whole serie) but i'm just going to put a link to a random game of it, like for Painkiller, i've put the link for Hell and Damnation but for no particular reason.

PC:

OTHERS:

EXTRA:

Not metal, but made by the bassist of Lightning Bolt: Thumper
Not really metal either, but seem to have nice rock soundtracks (+ MuahahahaMeow think it's an AWESOME game x) ) The Cat Lady

I forgot to mention that i knew this one! But all the dudes in the trailer are from bands that i don't really like, like Epica, Sonata Artica and stuff... That's not the kind of metal that i'm into, but i'll probably try this game one day! Thanks!

HOW CAN YOU NOT LIKE EPICA?

Bands aside, the game is horrible. As a symphonic metal fan I couldn't enjoy it a bit apart from the opera-talk scenes.

Haha i don't like symphonic metal at all, so that's why :/ I'm more into heavy metal (i think, i suck with music categories) like Judas Priest, Ozzy Osbourne, Skid Row... (random names that came in my head)

I like those bands too ^^ You should still check Epica's The Holographic Principle, it's more heavy oriented than symphonic. Maybe you'll like some songs.

I listened the song, now that i'm back here i realise you where talking about the whole album lol I'll give it a try, but for the song The holographic principle, there were too much "growl" for me, i prefer "clean" singers... In Epica you got growl and... I thing it's called.. lyrical singing? That's two things i'm really not a fan of, it's the main reason why i don't like this band and others like that :/

Ah, I see what you mean, you don't like brutal vocal. I don't either apart from very few bands.

I'm a singer myself and i consider this cheating x) Well ok, it's a technique that you need to learn and stuff, maybe it's super hard idk but it's more monotonous than any "normal" voice, and once you got it it's probably 1000 times easier than singing... For real x) Héhé

Hi. I don't like it either. I WANT TO, but I just can't. I love WT, Delain, Lacuna Coil and stuff and all but I just cannot like Epica. I tired - and I want to, so badly. I think it has to do with Simone's voice. I don't know, I just find it too piercing and annoying. Their music (I mean music as in "without vocals") is amazing... if only it wasn't for Simone ;_; I know a lot of people love her voice especially but I don't know.. it's just really annoying to me. A few songs are fine, but most aren't.
Aaaand that's the story of why I don't like Epica.

Ho heeeeeeeell yeah! This is looking good buddy! Slain look totally awesome and action side scrolling platform ...things are my favorite kind of games! So just for this one i already give you a giant THANKS!

Beware if you don't like electronic music, though. Doom has what it's being called "DoomStep", which is kinda like dubstep but with a hint of metal. I, for one, can't stand modern electronic (computer generated) beats in my music, so just be aware of that.

Damn these bastards. Is it like that with every soundtrack? Dubstep make me laugh everytime because i think about the people who dances on this, it's funny 3 minutes but not a whole game x)

If you mean if it is like that with every song in the game, then yes, I believe it is. I haven't played, but you can listen to the soundtrack if you want.

I wouldn't dance to it but it's nicely brutal and as a background to brutal game it fits perfect - even if I dislike electronic music myself ;p

They've done an interview with him few days ago, he said one of the conditions of the project was "no metal" and only in the very late stage he said "you know, this would sound better with some guitars".

Totally different compared to First-Doom, when that soundtrack was pretty much "take some metal music, cut it and mix it so lawyers won't be able to sue us".

It's the same guy who did the first 2 seasons of killer instinct, and those were great for the most part i thought. Don't want to listen to doom soundtrack properly till i can play it

Who cares about the solid word in the title? That game won't even have a metal gear. They could have changed the whole title, at least.

It has a great design and works flawlessly against enemies which you can only attack from the back as it's basically a ranged weapon with homing attacks, but it sadly won't be your primary weapon since it's kinda gimmicky. :(

Also, if it doesn't have to be on PC, then you can check out the current love of my life :p also featuring dear ol' Dante from Devil May Cry ♥

Is the second one really better or is it just new maps with a few ameliorations? I mean, is it worth it?
Sadly i don't play it THAT much since i prefer to play with friends rather than with random strangers on random servers, and alone beginner is too easy and normal too hard as i remember x)

now the game is more balanced, and yes the game is really better, the first will always be the classic KF. But this one is really good, awesome graphics and really well optimized , the movements are nice, you can run know and the type of gameplay kinda different too. You can always choose one spot to stay but you will be forced run across the map from times to times.

They have done some free weekends for people try out the game, i think two times at least, if you have some doubts you can always wait to try it out for free :D

Heavy Metal: F.A.K.K.²
It is not a particularly good game and was already behind its time upon release, so to my knowledge, they never gave it a digital release.

8 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

i disagree, i loved fakk2, and i think it had fantastic platforming gameplay, cool combat and a really neat combo system.. really wish it had had a digital release but sadly was released before digital became a 'thing', and then the publishers and developers both shut down ages ago, so whoever owns the rights (i think it might be take-two interactive?) doesnt consider it a big enough/successful enough title to bring back.

if it was on steam, id buy it in an instant

To make matters worse, it's a licenced game, meaning that even if they figure out who owns the rights to the game, they also need to get the licence from the IP licence holder.

I didn't knew there was a Heavy Metal game! I've discovered H.M. a few weeks ago, with the "new" TV show with real actors. I saw "METAL HURLANT" on the tv (I'm french, here it's called "screaming metal"), instantly watched the full show, then the movie!
I'm gonna try to find the game! Thanks!

Devil May Cry 3, which is my favorite video game of all time, features a heavy metal soundtrack, damn shame the pc port isn't very good though :/
Devil May Cry 4 has a similar soundtrack as well though, and the Special Edition is well optimized, pretty good game as well

DmC: Devil May Cry also has a metal soundtrack. And the Limbo realm it conjures up looks the part too.

Combichrist (who made the soundtrack for the game) is considered aggrotech and EBM, as opposed to metal

I thought with increasing reliance on guitar they moved into industrial metal. shrug It's not like the lines between musical genres are clear and distinct.

I've never played brutal legend but I hope I will. Considering metal (& hard rock) in video games I can't resist but to mention flatout series. I mean it doesn't get better when you're crushing your opponent's vehicle while heavy music is rocking.. Oh the adrenaline :D

I thought the Motörhead DLC for Victor Vran was already out. Turns out it's still being worked on, but when it gets released that game should count.

Guitar Hero: Metallica of course.

Also Thumper, a new rhythm game, was made by the bassist from Lightning Bolt. The game is not metal, but I think it should count.

WHAT THE... How many LSD tab do a normal human need before listening to this band? Rofl I don't even need drugs to do a bad trip with this!
Haha anyway, i'll even say the whole guitar hero serie is good! Some better than others sure, the Aerosmith is really cool too, more rock than metal though. Thanks!
