Exclusivity is not metal.

I don't think anyone ever told Metallica that. You should write them a letter.

If u like metal, you'll like the game. Gameplay is ur standard hack n slash with a metal twist.

I love Schafer games so I'm buying it anyways.

Well, looks like I can add this game to the list of games to buy used from Gamestop, so I'm not supporting a company that shows such an obvious bias to a certain segment of their fanbase.

So, um, instead of supporting Tim Schafer for creating this game and EA who saved it from publishing limbo, you're going to buy it used from Gamestop...a company that is worse than basically everyone else (save Activision) in the industry combined?!

Well played.

Again Europe and the rest of the world gets shafted. Could someone explain to me again why I should pay for XBL Gold?

Note: this is for paid XBL Gold Subscribers only so everyone solely on PSN who is complaining about not getting the demo today, take solace in the fact that everyone who is getting the demo early paid for it, either by preordering, or by buying a subscription to Xbox Live.

Except me who doesn't have his Internet hooked up currently. /cries.

Is there anything in the Options to remove Jack Black from the game? I realise that's a negative comment to make, and I should go into great detail why, but I just don't like him. Not even a tiny bit.

Will try the demo, anyway...

You're not alone. I'd definitely put him in the irritating-as-fuck catagory. Still, I also want to try this game regardless of his presence.

I just went through the demo and came out impressed. Not sure if I like the combat but the story seems great (I'm usually a Jack Black hater btw).

I want a kickass girlfriend like that now.

Where is the demo for Windows Live? Those of us PC gamers want some rock'n'roll love too.

Plus I figured that if they give to the xbox they shouldnt have to change too much for PC right?

What the hell is wrong with these people! Demos need to be realeased asap so people can see if they want to buy your game or not! Not rationed or given as bonuses as if they are something special or worth anything! It's a bloody ad people! They should be wanting as many people downloading it as soon as possible!

RAGE!!!!!!

What a joke, is it to much to be asked to be treated equally. Thought i would go to the Brutallegend.com to voice my opinion on this matter only to be asked to select my territory, wow not one country from the Asia Pacific region, so if I'm from Australia what one should i select because they are all 1000's of kilometers away. Obviously this game can be thrown in the pile of "the developers only give a shit if you live in the U.S." Shame really was looking forward to this one, guess I'll just have to make do with games that have offered a demo without the bias i.e. Fifa and Forza.

That's just fine with me. Brutal Legend.... I don't even care. But for those over PSN that want to play the demo, but can't. I feel for ya. Understand, its not Sony. Its actually Microsoft.

A developer actually confirmed that Microsoft had been giving them money to develop exclusively for a years contract on Xbox 360 and then port it a year later. The developer would use the money Microsoft gave them to add additions and cover the extra costs of the game.

Sony just isn't the type to shell out money for exclusives. Though I'm confident they'll aid in helping a developer if the developer needs it. But Sony's crew at Naughty Dog, Insomniac, Santa Monica, etc. all seem to be doing very well.

This begs the question of, who are you developers of choice now? They just leave you in the dust. I'm honestly surprised to hear that Electronic Arts for the first time I can remember have done this. The guy who represented Xbox 360 at E3 just left Microsoft and went to Electronic Arts. Now Microsoft is looking to buy EA and Brutal Legend demo is exclusive to Xbox 360 now? That really makes one think. I appologize for Electronics selfishness (as the greedy businessmen they are) in withholding the demo from their gamers to gain a little extra cash from Microsoft. That's not right and Electronic Arts didn't even need it. Sony isn't going to play this I'll buy you off deal, because they've more integrity then that.

Every company is in business to make money not friends. Sony purchased exclusivity for the Joker Challenge maps from Batman: Arkham Asylum so you should be wagging your finger at them too.

I must have skipped this demo while looking at the demos on Xbox Live today.

I'll go download it later. I hope this is as good as I think it is.

It's coming. However, the game itself comes shortly afterward.

Don't mind, personally. It's a Tim Schafer game. That's enough for me, demo be damned.

Well sadly this makes sense otherwise the exclusive download for people who pre-ordered the game would be useless and that marketing tactic would have been a complete waste. Smart move for the developers and publishers too bad for us gamers. Either way you look at it unless you pre-ordered on PS3 or are a Gold Live member you're screwed until the public release. Playing the demo now or just closer to the release isn't gonna matter. If you like what you experience in the demo (when you do finally get a chance to experience it) is just going to make that purchase that much easier for you. If not then at least you didn't spend a dime!
