Brutal Legend’s menu is golden
by K. Michael Alexander
Just picked up Brutal Legend, the latest game created by Tim Schafer and the crew at Double Fine (creators of 2005′s amazing Psychonauts.) After seeing this treatment of a main menu I had to share! Talk about a strong introduction to a games overall tone, even if the heavy metal styling doesn’t impress you you’ll have to admit the level of detail alone is astounding.
It’s so elegantly simple to use and it’s a fun way of handling the main menu. Check out the similar yet slightly different spanish version after the break. It’s refreshing to see Schafer’s level of polish touching even the the main menu. That attention to detail isn’t something you see a lot of developers doing anymore. Good on him and good on the team at Double Fine.
[Edit: So yeah, I thought I had edited it out, but apparently I hadn't. The Spanish version is distorted not some funky european shape. The error has been corrected. My apologies. Proof read!]

“Check out the similar yet slightly different spanish version after the break, same style but the record cover is the european dimensions opposed to the US dimensions.”
are European records also egg shaped?
Oh man! My bad, I thought I had pulled that out. Edited and fixed. <3 Sorry.
