You might find it hard to believe, but even one of the most non-metal objects in the world (literally and figuratively) can be made metal by the Brütal Legend soundtrack. Above, you will find a video of the Heavy Metal Rubik's Cube Challenge, in which Tim Schafer races against Brütal Legend musical producer Emily Ridgeway to see if he can solve the cube before she can read off all the songs in the soundtrack. We won't tell you who comes out on top but, honestly, with a soundtrack like this, everybody wins.
Unsurprisingly, the soundtrack revealed in the video matches quite nicely with the one revealed by EA Denmark over the weekend. Curiously, one song revealed by EA Denmark is absent from the video: "Girlfriend," by Kabbage Boy. We've contacted EA to see what's up and will update this post as soon as we hear anything.
In the meantime, enjoy the video and – if you have a Rubik's Cube of your own – play along at home!
Alright, here I go, I'm gonna get downvoted faster than when a new Guitar Hero is released, okay...I don't like heavy metal. Sorry, it just doesn't appeal to me.
Without metal, the world would be in darkness and despair. The songs sing of what the world was like before we donned our denim and leather and, as part of one force, weknocked rock and roll on its ass and put metal on the course.
loud and obnoxious? what bands have you been listening to? listen to some classic metallica, some dream theater, and some iron maiden. no where near loud & obnoxious.
Metallica and Dream Theater are horrible examples. There is some good metal, you know, like Judas Priest.
Which reminds me: In the song Ram It Down, there is a line about a place where the decibels race. Sounds like a good opportunity for there to be psuedo-tribal dudes who race cars power solely by METALLLLLLLL!
he couldve solved that cube much faster.. only way to do it is to have the patterns memorized, after that it can be solved in under a minute without even trying.. they just needed to get threw all the crappy tunes on this game.. did i say crappy? yes i did! =]
I see the connection. That kid who solved the 2 Rubiks cubes while playing Ozzy Osbourne, that wasn't random multitasking, THAT WAS A TRIBUTE TO ROCK! RIGHT ON KID!
How the bloody hell can I rock out to a metal game without uppin' the f'ing IRONS.
Where is Iron Maiden? I want to be slaying demons to The Number of the Beast. Or taking over haunted ships rocking to Ghost of the Navigator. The 'f is up. The end boss better be Eddie.
You have obviously thought long and hard about that very reasonable an informed opinion.
To hell with any game with even an ounce of imagination since it does not have that one obscure band you enjoy oh, so much.
Fuck it, you say to a game that has struggled to barely be able to come out since a publisher that has nothing to do with the actual development decisions of the game produces a football franchise you are uninterested in.
You sir (little boy?), are an example of why games are fantastic and continue to be the same old fucking shit year after year after year.
Ugh They Could've Used a Diff. Dragonforce Song Since TTFAF Has Been Played Out Since Day 1, Maybe Some Metallica and Some Iron Maiden. Why Is There No Maiden?! ARGHHHHHHHHHHH
I wonder if anyone realizes that they can stream their own music through their PC, or play it from your hard drive WHILE playing the game. Just turn the music off, and listen to your own if you actually give a damn. OR, play it in the background.
