Brutal Legend DLC Map Pack Coming Next Month

Brutal Legend publisher EA has announced 'Tears of the Hextadon,' a downloadable content pack for the heavy metal action adventure containing two new multiplayer maps.

"I play Brutal Legend online every night," explained developer Double Fine's president Tim Schafer in a press statement. "And I need more maps! Circle of Tears is named after the crying of my vanquished foes on the battlefield, and Death's Fjord is obviously a tribute to my Nordic ancestors, and their love of fan geysers and... Well, actually I just thought the name was cool. See you online!"

These? Not the new maps. Just totally metal.

As a bonus, the map pack includes a new axe, the Blade of Ormagoden.

Tears of the Hextadon drips onto Xbox Live on November 3 for 400 Microsoft Points ($5). While PlayStation 3 owners might need to wait a torturous extra two days until November 5, the DLC will be completely free there until November 19, costing $5 thereafter.

i would have bought it if this DLC was included with the release.
Reviews say the game is too short, probably because they saved the full game to sell as DLC.

I was at the gameshop buying Borderlands and asked the fellow nerd behind the counter how Brutal Legend was selling. He said not good, and that this time Doublefine tried to do too much and ended up disappointing. That's sad, since I was looking forward to this game in a big way.

Of course, one nerd is not the intarweb, so I welcome other opinions. He also said that it was very short. Comments?

And here's my free comment. I am loving Borderlands. "Hey, this is where the cars live! Getchoo one!"

I didn't expect that shitty RTS gameplay. I was really happy with the game until those stage battle started. Very stupid that I didn't read reviews because if I knew about those I wouldn't have bought it. Way too short too, not so happy with the game :(

I don't understand why this game didn't get more praise. I loved every second of it. OK, perhaps not the part where I tried to learn the RTS mechanics. But, OMG what a world - I wanna move here.
