Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Firstly, this has to be the hardest version of Guitar Hero. It's not Dragonforce hard, but still has lots of solos and strumming. I played on Expert only.
This version is pretty much setup exactly like Guitar Hero: World Tour. Same interface etc. The quickplay song list is set up in one big list ala World Tour & Rockband. Career mode is useless, all the songs are already unlocked in quickplay so why bother. 28 Metallica Songs, and 21 other artists. If you play a song in Career mode, that high score won't transfer down to the quickplay, like Guitar Hero: Aerosmith did.
I like Metallica, but not die-hard fan. Some of the songs are rather long. Mercyful fate takes awhile, I didn't have a stopwatch but it is listed as a 11 minutes 12 seconds long off that respective album, that seems about right.
The rest of the "Other Artist" songs, 21 in all, are listed below:
ALICE IN CHAINS - No Excuses
BOB SEGER - Turn The Page
CORROSION OF CONFORMITY - Albatross
DIAMOND HEAD - Am I Evil?
FOO FIGHTERS - Stacked Actors
JUDAS PRIEST - Hell Bent For Leather
KYUSS - Demon Cleaner
LYNYRD SKYNYRD - Tuesdays Gone
MACHINE HEAD - Beautiful Mourning
MASTODON - Blood And Thunder
MERCYFUL FATE - Evil
MICHAEL SCHENKER GROUP - Armed and Ready
MOTÖRHEAD - Ace of Spades
QUEEN - Stone Cold Crazy
SAMHAIN - Mother of Mercy
SLAYER - War Ensemble
SOCIAL DISTORTION - Mommy's Little Monster
SUICIDAL TENDENCIES - War Inside My Head
SYSTEM OF A DOWN - Toxicity
THE SWORD - Black River
THIN LIZZY - The Boys Are Back in Town
Aside from System of A Down & perhaps Alice in Chains, these songs were subpar to play.
I liked Guitar Hero III & Aerosmith. But I'd advise renting this game, especially if you are not a die-hard Metallica fan or weren't too fond of Guitar Hero: World Tour. However, if you're really good and want more of a challenge on Expert, this may prove of some value.

Guitar Hero: Metallica is similar to Guitar Hero World Tour in that you play a full suite of instruments. When the game starts, you're the new band on the block with aspirations of opening for Metallica. The game goes back and forth between performances by Metallica and performances of songs that influenced Metallica by your band. The band was motion captured so you'll recognize their unique motions on screen and style of playing.
As you progress in the game, you'll start to unlock bonus features such as videos of old Metallica performances, backstage photos, and "Metallifacts," which enables different trivia to show up while a song is playing, similar to VH1's Pop-Up Video.
Metallica Recordings from Original Masters and More Via Download
Guitar Hero: Metallica features 49 songs in total, 28 Metallica songs, and 21 songs that are favorites of the band and have influenced them. The Metallica songs are sourced from original masters so you'll have the best audio quality available. You'll also be able play downloadable content from their latest album, Death Magnetic.
Game Difficulty Goes from One All The Way Up to Eleven
Metallica exhibit technical prowess while performing, and this game goes from Beginner all the way to Expert Plus difficulty. Hardcore gamers will not be disappointed. You'll have to play guitars, drums, and sing, and in the "Expert Plus" difficulty, you'll have to plug in a second bass pedal for double bass pedal drum work.
Real-Life Venues
As you go on tour, you'll be playing venues small and large, and you might recognize some that you've been to. Famous venues that played a part in Metallica's career such as The Stone and the Hammersmith Odeon are included in the game and have been duplicated with great detail.
Grab Your Friends and Play Together
Multiplayer is part of what made Guitar Hero such a hit and it is no different here. Gather your friends and family, and jam Metallica tunes together. The game also features Metallica-specific power ups for competitive multiplayer. For example, "Fade to Black" will black out your opponent's notes, and "Trapped Under Ice" will freeze their whammy bar.
Create Your Own Music
Those familiar with Guitar Hero World Tour will welcome back the Music Studio, where you can create new music and then upload and share them through the GHTunes service. The Music Studio in Guitar Hero: Metallica gives you Metallica specific tones such as Hetfields' ESP Truckster guitar, as well as Metallica drum sounds. Songs made in Metallica and World Tour are compatible with each other through the GHTunes service.
