It's important to realise that career progression is not done in chorological order like Aerosmith - Metallica vetoed that suggestion, and it's just as well. This is based on a group of fans who followed Metallica around on tour in the early 1990's. The band members were involved in every step of the development, with James Hetfield personally laying down the basic idea for the Career Mode storyline. World Tour and Aerosmith were noticeably easier than Guitar Hero III, the former going as far as to require much more accurate tracking for hammer-ons and pull-offs, the latter - well, Aerosmith could be described in a lot of ways, but "brutally hard" would not be one of them.īefore we get to what it's like to play, it's worth noting just how inclusive this title is when it comes to Metallica lore. Overjoyed as we were with the news last year that Metallica would not only contribute a bunch of their songs for a band-exclusive Guitar Hero title, we were far more interested to see just how developers Neversoft would deal with the difficulty level. The reason you never got past hard on Guitar Hero III was because of Slayer, not Santana. No, the song that will have you staring in fear at a wall of notes while your rock meter goes into the red faster than ACC will almost certainly be metal, and extremely heavy at that. I'm not talking about a Pat Benatar number, or something from the Killers or Nirvana.
If You're a Metallica Fan, Then You Have to Own This!Īnyone who has ever played any Guitar Hero title for an extended period of time will invariably come across a song that completely owns them. In the end it hits a great note when playing the Metallica songs then takes a dive when it forces you to play the other songs in career mode. If you can find Guitar Hero Metallica for about 25 to 30 bucks its definitely worth the price but not for more then that.

Every single song is a Beatles song and there are even full albums you can download to add to your collection something none of the previously mentioned guitar hero games have. Hopefully Activision and Neversoft have learned from the dismal sales of Van Halen and Aerosmith and will try to learn from Mtv games and Harmonix success with The Beatles: Rock Band.

Plus most of the other "inspired by" artist songs pale in comparison and cheapen the experience. They've done it with Guitar Hero Aerosmith with Metallica and most recently Guitar Hero Van Halen. Sadly this is the formula which Guitar Hero follows. Which is why this game ge ts so disappointing when you have to play the other songs which have none of the impact that the Metallica songs have.
Which in this game you get to be them playing these songs feeling awesome after pulling off some crazy guitar solo or a really hard drum solo. Say what you will about Metallica but seeing them play live is a thrill. It's such a thrill with the music blaring and rocking out with some of your friends to these songs. It's just really disappointing the Metallica games in this song be they their greatest hits or just some random ones are really fun to play. It's said Metallica hand picked the other artist in this game but who knows. Only about half the songs in the game are from Metallica the other from artist "inspired" by Metallica. In a game called Guitar Hero Metallica you'd think there'd be well more Metallica songs.
