I have not played Brutal Legend myself but the idea of blending the mechanics of a real-time strategy and more traditional adventure games into a single multiplayer experience is something I would very much like to see in the Oddworld series.

Gotta be careful with mixing genres together in one game if you do it in sections and make them mandatory to proceed... Tim Shafer got away with it in Brutal Legend but it didn't go down so well with some people.
For me the RTS parts were a nice surprise and added variety even if the gameplay change was sort of abrupt, but my friend I was playing it with really disliked those parts even though they were simple.
Perhaps part of the problem was because the demo didn't hint at RTS sections being present in the game, and my friend thought it'd be purely an action-adventure thing.
People like to know what they're getting, I guess. But if JAW do something similar in a future game and advertise that it's going to be that way, maybe it won't be a problem.
