Guitar Hero: Metallica Review

Guitar Hero Metallica plays just like every other Guitar Hero/Rock Band game so there is no need to go into detail about how it is played. They have made a few minor changes to the interface such as you are now able to keep track to how many stars you have during a song, sort of like how Rock Band does. The character models of the members of Metallica look very good. You can tell they spent a lot of time with the band trying to get their likeness down perfectly. They have a mode in the game that allows you just to watch them perform the song without having to worry about hitting notes on the interments so you can really see the detail that went into capturing Metallica. My only complaint with the game (as well as the Aerosmith Guitar Hero game) is the music selection. The game features 49 songs, but only 28 of them being Metallica songs, the other 21 songs are from other bands that were “chosen by Metallica”. The Metallica songs on the game are great, but there are so many hits that are missing that I want to play, “Don’t Tread On Me”, “The Unforgiven II”, “Until It Sleeps”, I could go on with about 10-15 more songs but I’ll stop now. Why can’t these band specific games focus on just that band and that band only? I don’t want to play fucking Queen, Thin Lizzy or Bob Seger in a Metallica game; I want to play Metallica, that’s why I bought it. Overall it’s a solid game and I am enjoying my time with it. Just wish it had more Metallica songs. I give it a "B".
