Tim Curry to appear in Brutal Legend News • News • Eurogamer.net

News Xbox 360 PlayStation 3

He's replacing rocker Ronnie James Dio.

Tim Curry, star of The Rocky Horror Picture Show amongst several thousand other things, is doing a voiceover for Brutal Legend.

He's taking on the role previously assigned to rocker Ronnie James Dio, according to Blabbermouth.net. No official reason has been given for the switch.

At E3 earlier this month, Tim Schafer confirmed Ozzy Osbourne will appear in Brutal Legend. Other signups include Lita Ford, Rob Halford and Lemmy from Motorhead.

Brutal Legend is out on 16th October. Tim Curry is brilliant.

Tim Curry > Dio. The only good to come from Dio is the music video for Yankee Rose.

"Ozzy Osbourne will appear in Brutal Legend"

There's the reason for Dio pulling out, surely?

I didn't even know he [Ronnie] was going to be in it. But Tim Curry seems like a perfect addition to the game. I was actually shocked at how good Rob Halford was in his part(s) as well.

The demos I saw over E3 really put to rest the (ever-so) slight doubts I had about the game. You know that the game was always going to have entertaining characters, dialogue and such, but I had some misgivings about how it would play, but it looks very interesting and fairly non-repetitive from what they showed at E3, and the Overlord elements sound good as well.

Yay. Tim Curry hasn't done anything cool for far too long (hos C&C performance may have been awesome I admit, I haven't seen it).

I don't think he's ever quite managed to top his role in The Worst Witch.

Tim Curry is great, but so is Dio. I'd rather they'd left out Ozzy...

Quite looking forward to this title, and the addition of the legendary Tim Curry just makes it sound better and better.

Yeah since when was it ever announced he was going to be in it? It's too bad because he has such an epic voice. Maybe this has something to do with Ozzy suing for the Black Sabbath name?

More Tim Curry is always a plus though.

I was like "wtf?" when I read the title, not knowing who Tim Curry was, and raging cause of my love for Dio.
Then I looked up Tim Curry on Wiki. (Realized who it was the second I saw his picture)

While I'm somewhat disappointed about the lack of Dio, Tim Curry is certainly an good addition to the game.

Tim Curry is like god.

Seriously, between Tim Curry and Tim Schafer, this could be brilliant.

Tim Curry as well? Oh christ, every single voiceover for this game makes me want it more.

Tim Curry is awesome. Close to god-like. Not quite, but oh so close.

(And it's Tim Curry as Frank all the way, although Anthony Head comes a very close second!)
