Guitar Hero Metallica (XBOX 360)(Guitar Bundle) Review

For fans of the Guitar Hero franchise, Guitar Hero: Metallica might be the best entry we've seen yet. I was somewhat lukewarm on my reception to the other band-themed title that Neversoft put out with GH: Aerosmith, but Metallica absolutely blows that game out of the water, not only with the track listing, but the overall time and attention put into the actual presentation, and how the band seems to be infused into every aspect of the game.
 
Obviously having a Guitar Hero game centred on legendary band Metallica is, by itself, quite a thing. Along with the Metallica tracks, there's a series of other artists included picked by the band, including big favourites like Slayer and Motorhead, and for the most part every additional track is really staying true to that hard rock/metal theme. There's even a lot of relatively smaller, yet excellent groups that made the cut here, and I'm sure genre fans are going to enjoy seeing these guys represented in the game, even if the mainstream appeal might be lacking for the casual player.

The game supports all the instruments from World Tour, so there's a full Guitar, Bass, Drum, and Vocal mode to explore, along with a full band mode, and online play for bands and single players alike. There's also the introduction of the Expert + mode, which allows drummers to connect a second bass pedal, adding to the overall realism the drums provide.

Even if you felt burnt by the Aerosmith branded Guitar Hero title, don't let that hold you back from giving Metallica a try. It's a far better effort, and honestly I'm having more fun with this than I did with World Tour at the moment, and while I can't say that the game will appeal to a non-Metallica fan, it's worth trying out for the improved note charting if nothing else. Online mode works great, local band works just as well, and if you really want to feel like a Guitar Hero, just wait till you get done jamming out to songs like For Whom the Bell Tolls, Battery, and Nothing Else Matters.
