Someone told me once that rock and roll could save the world. Maybe it can, but it turns out even rock and roll needs a hand. Or several. Enter Jack Black as the best roadie ever. While he can build anything, and fix guitars so smashed that Pete Townsend would be jealous, he can’t save heavy metal from people like Corey Taylor, but screw Corey Taylor bashing for a second (though, I loathe to) Eddie Riggs (Black) has a bigger problem than an idiot in a Halloween costume barking into the mic. He’s touring with a tween band.

That said, when a huge stage prop crushes him to death, and the fire beast Omegoden melts the faces of these Pete Wentz wannabes, his day should be getting better. Better, I suppose is relative when you wake up in a heavy metal wasteland of bloodthirsty priests and animals only Ted Nugent would love.

After discovering that in this world the electric guitar can actually (and still figuratively) melt faces, Riggs sort of accidentally on purpose becomes a freedom fighter. Against what else? Hair rockers, and White Lion.

As you play the game, you amass an army of headbangers who “walk around and kick ass” but even better, you make friends with Ozzy Osbourne and Motorhead. The gameplay is simple, it can get repetitive, but really what game doesn’t? The controls are simple, and the game is actually pretty well polished for what it is. After thinking I would just pick it up as a laugh, I am telling everyone I know to play it. It isn’t the best game, physically, but, it rocks.

Here are two new trailers for the game:
