Brutal Legend multiplayer played by multiple people 14 Aug, 2009, 03:24 / 4 comments

When he's not showing Dave Grossman how designing Monkey Island games is done or leaving critical comments under news posts, Jake spends his time as a contributing voice on the Idle Thumbs podcast, the latest episode of which is all about Brutal Legend's much ballyhooed but still somewhat mysterious multiplayer mode. Chris Remo and Nick Breckon had a chance to play some of the game's multiplayer and their (rather positive) impressions should be heard by you.

Some guy on Gamespot also got some hand-on time with Brutal Legend's multiplayer and wrote a preview about his discoveries, if you're interested in that as well.

Update by Tingler: IGN also have a preview of the multiplayer, complete with videos. Apparently it's an action-strategy arena where you can play Eddie, Ophelia or (gasp) Tim Curry's Doviculus commanding head-bangers, goths and demons respectively. Neat!

Bonus Update: Nick Breckon has posted written impressions of the multiplayer mode up on Shacknews.

    Fun fact: Jake Rodkin and Chris Remo both got a credit on Psychonauts. Not that I'm suggesting they're biased, well, probably not any more biased than the rest of us anyway.
