Guitar Hero Metallica

Guitar Hero: Metallica is definitely one of the best of the series. It's got a great setlist, the graphics are phenomenal, these guys put a lot of effort into making this game. In my opinion, it's a little better than Guitar Hero: World Tour, but that's not saying much.

This is mostly for people who have played Guitar Hero before. Beginners will have a hard time picking this game up, especially for drums which is way harder than Guitar Hero: World Tour. The game does bring challenge to the table, most notably, the Metallica songs. Metallica is known for James' verses and chorus, Kirk's sick solos, Lars' drum work, and Cliff's bass tunes, though he doesn't appear in the game (Robert Trujillo is the current bassist) but he is mentioned in the Metallifacts. "Frantic" is the only Metallica song that does NOT have a solo in the game (I don't like the song at all. They should have put "...And Justice for All" instead.)

The Career mode is the same as every Guitar Hero game. Unlike Guitar Hero: Aerosmith, which was focused on their history, this game is focused more on Metallica's fans. It starts with the guys walking in slow-mo up to the stage and you play 2 songs. You are inspired by them and want to start your own band, which is later called Metallica Jr. That's all I'll say about the story, or as much as a Guitar Hero story will get(ba-dum tish). When you beat a song, you can go back and go to the Metallifacts which lets you look at the visuals without the highway and gives you little facts about the song, and this is for every song, not just the Metallica songs.

Bottom line, if you are a metal head, like me, looking for a challenge, or you are interested in a band you haven't heard much of or any of the other bands featured, you will enjoy the heck out of it. I highly recommend this game.

I give it a 10 out of 10.
