As for the hybrid aspect, Brutal Legend incorporates real-time strategy elements into its core gameplay and even adds some Guitar Hero-inspired minigames to spice things up. Metalheads are likely very familiar with this title as its cast of characters includes a number of legendary artists such as Jack Black, Ozzy Osbourne, Lemmy Kilmister, Rob Halford, and Lita Ford, all of whom did amazing voice work for the game. Released around the same time as Borderlands, Tim Schafer’s Brutal Legend is an action-adventure game that takes place in a world inspired by Heavy Metal music. Borderlands is such a perfect mash-up, in fact, that Gearbox often refers to it as a role-playing shooter.

Gearbox Software’s Borderlands is a prime example of how a hybrid game can truly shine when executed properly.
