Vivendi today revealed Brutal Legend for the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3.

In Brutal Legend you play the part of heavy metal roadie Eddie Riggs who has been hurled back in time to the mythical age of metal when the world was formed and rules by the power of rock. Armed with a broadaxe, a guitar and a big black V8 you set off on an epic quest to assemble an army of headbangers, hodrods, barbarians, demonic dominatirx and the undead. With the wings of a demon and the power of a rock god you must lead humanity in a war against it’s barbaric overlords and carve your name forever into the Brutal Legend.

Starring Jack Black, Brutal Legend lets you roam a massive open world which is born from the hellfires of heavy metal.

Tim Schafer, the games creator said “I have been dreaming about this day for fifteen years. And now it is finally here. We’ve gathered small clues over the years about the Age of Metal, in songs, t-shirts, and album covers. But now we have uncovered the metal mother lode, the full legend of what actually happened in that loud and heavy era, and we are the lucky ones who get to tell the tale.”

“Our existence as humans will forever be reconceived,” said Martin Tremblay, president, Worldwide Studios for Sierra Entertainment. “Definitive answers to the discovery of dry ice, invention of the wheel, Jurassic era, religious convention and many other testaments and myths are going to be revealed to the world.”
