Oh God I hope so! That was the main frustration in the game for me on the PS3. It wasn't special.. It just felt like that weird game Sacrifice.

Sacrifice was a masterpiece. Brutal Legend was... not.

I remember everyone talking about how the whole game was really bad. I loved all of it though... except the RTS parts. I thought the melee combat was a bit simple, but fun. I didn't mind all the driving around, partially because of the metal on the radio, a lot of which I wasn't that familiar with. (some bands I knew, but most songs I didn't)

Do I still need to tag spoilers for a game this old? eh, why not:

Ophelia going all emo because of letting people down, and then actually joining the emo faction was great.

I found the plot turn annoying with all the emo people. It lost me there, though I played and enjoyed most of it up until that point. The RTS stuff wasn't quite what it should have been, and the theme made it seem extra goofy, but it was fun otherwise. Really the main issue was the fact that it should never have started to take itself seriously. Had the game just tried to be all fun and funny and homage, it would have worked. As a story it was just too ridiculous to take seriously, yet it expected you to. I couldn't, thus had to stop playing.
