Electronic Arts has today revealed details about multiplayer for upcoming rock n' roll action game Brütal Legend. Billed as a "four versus four skirmish," action will blend with strategy to create something that's hopefully a little different from your average online frag-fest.
Here's the skinny from EA's press release:
Multiplayer: Four-versus-four "skirmish" multiplayer marries action combat with a strategic unit-control mechanic. As the leader of one of the factions in the game, direct your armies in a Battle of the Bands where the trophy is survival, and even take your battle online over Xbox LIVE.
I want this game for its single-player, but if the multiplayer is any good, I'll definitely take it. If you get to play as Lemmy, then I'll be tempted to buy two copies. Hit the jump for the full press release, and join me in salivating over this excellent looking game.

I'm with Jim, if it's any good, I'll dig it.
I think you mean, I want this game for its single-player.

Corrected, thanks. This is what happens when you write fourteen articles before noon.
That being said, I'm looking forward to this game. Multi-player can only make this better, right?
So what's going on here, are we all salivating into a bucket together or what?
