Becoming the Band
For the first time ever, Guitar Hero Metallica will allow fans to come together and thrash as the explosive, world-renowned metal and rock band, Metallica, whose album sales have exceeded 100 million worldwide.  Transform into metal legends Lars Ulrich, James Hetfield, Kirk Hammett and Robert Trujillo as full body scans and signature moves motion capture allow players to virtually experience the high intensity of a Metallica performance.

Follow the path of the metal legends in either single instrument or band career game modes playing as the band to a soundtrack of their greatest hits while also rocking with more than 20 additional artists selected by the band.  Featuring in-the-round stage designs and custom camera angles new to Guitar Hero, further highlighted by custom lightshows, special effects and encores, gamers and Metallica fans alike can fulfill their rock ‘n’ roll fantasies in a variety of new and famous settings, ranging from Tushino Airfield to The Forum.  All venues reflect Metallica’s most memorable tours including themes from their album artwork to offer the authentic Metallica atmosphere.

Drum Like Lars
In addition to using the redesigned, more responsive and advanced Guitar Hero World Tour guitar controller and microphone, Metallica fans will truly be able to pound like Lars on the drums with a second bass pedal compatible with the Guitar Hero World Tour drum kit controller (second bass pedal sold separately).  The all-new “Expert+” difficulty level gives gamers access to the double bass drum note track which offers the authentic Metallica experience with a note-for-note translation of many tracks appearing in-game and adds a new difficulty option to all gameplay modes.

Seek and Destroy
Immerse yourself in themed Battle Mode attacks, such as briefly blacking out your fellow rocker’s note track or modifying the amp overload to include the signature Metallica lightening.

Test Your Metal
After nailing a song, test your Metallica know-how by replaying the song with trivia pop-ups.  The on-screen displays give information about the song being played, and with guest artist songs, information about how the band is tied to Metallica will be displayed along with details such as band history and lyrics.

Platform for Display:Xbox 360|Edition:Guitar Bundle
Fun:   
It seems the Guitar Hero franchise is pumping out game after game in an effort to keep up with Rock Band's snowballing success. The first of four scheduled new GH games since World Tour sees Heavy Rock band Metallica getting the Guitar Hero treatment. After the disappointing Aerosmith game (awesome band, great visuals but way too short), it was going to take something special to wow the fans. And Guitar Hero Metallica 'wows' from the word go. Visually it's amazing with caricature versions of the lads, and stadiums where they have played. It's hard to pick just a selection of songs from Metallica's extensive back catalogue and despite a couple of personal faves being missed out (can't win them all), all the classics are there along side some lesser played but just as good album tracks. Also featured is a bunch of songs from bands that Metallica have played with or have influenced them in some way, notably Motorhead and King Diamond who both have their likenesses in the game.

Gameplay, this is the best game of the series and most of the niggles and creases have been ironed out which makes Metallica a very smooth game indeed. Obviously as with all band-specific music games, it's really going to appeal to Metallica fans first and foremost, completists second.

The included guitar is just a World Tour standard guitar controller and comes with a snap-on Metallica faceplate which, I have to say looks awesome.

I enjoyed this game both as a Metallica fan and as a Guitar Hero fan!
