![]() Of course, there are darker forces at work backstage – but thankfully, Riggs is equipped for the task. In brief – because we really don't want to spoil things, the land has been under the oppression of Hair Metal – led by General Lionwhyte, and Eddie ends up getting swept up in the rebellion alongside a cast of leather-clad human survivors. He winds up in the ancient Land of Metal, revived by the Fire Beast Ormagöden, where he bumps into Ophelia, the dark-eyed beauty and target of his affection. ![]() Discreet to the point of invisibility, Riggs is thrust into the spotlight after being crushed to death at a rap-rock-pop-emo-punk 'Kabbage Boy' show. Riggs is a 'roadie' – the fella in black who makes sure concert stage productions go smoothly – you know, keeping the lead singer from plunging to his untimely demise mid-song, for instance. This Schaferesque flavour extends to the lead character, Eddie Riggs, voiced and partially modelled on actor Jack Black, but with a dab of Schafer in there too. From the moment Jack Black himself guides you through the record store start-menu (best start screen ever, by the way), you know you're in for a unique experience. As such, from the towering megalithic guitar carvings to the hand-picked metal soundtrack and sterling script littered with one-liners, never has there been a more loving tribute to heavy metal culture and game design in one. If it's hard to separate Schafer from the project, it's because Brütal Legend feels more personal than most games out there you can pick the moments in the game that have clearly been kicking around in his grey matter for decades.
