So I just beat Brütal Legend yesterday (got it Friday). I'm kinda on the fence about it. The story was alot of fun and very well written, the characters were awesome, the world design and music were kickass, but there were quite a few drawbacks. The mix of action and RTS never really gelled together, the fact that you can't rewatch the cutscenes without replaying the game, and the way it respawns you at the last completed mission rather than predetermined checkpoints (like say when you entered a new area on the map). I'm glad I bought it, but then again I had a coupon and picked it up for $10 bucks.
I will say this about it though, it makes me want to check out Tim Schafer's other games.
