Guitar Hero: Metallica (Wii, 2009)

Anyone who has ever played any Guitar Hero title for an extended period of time will invariably come across a song that completely owns them.

I'm not talking about a Pat Benatar number, or something from the Killers or Nirvana. They're easy. 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. The reason you never got past hard on Guitar Hero III was because of Slayer, not Santana.

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. 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.

Before 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. 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. This is based on a group of fans who followed Metallica around on tour in the early 1990's. 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. Imagine starting your career mode off with Motorbreath, or Pulling Teeth; you'd need carpal tunnel surgery before the second set.

Speaking of which, you'll no longer have to play gigs to progress, Metallica harks back to the original Guitar Hero set lists style, each requiring you to not only pass songs, but achieve a certain number of stars to progress. There's also no need to perform endless early songs to get to the later stuff, as in Quickplay mode, all set list songs are unlocked by default.

We've compiled a list of all the current known songs in this release on page two of this article. There's a good selection of not only Metallica classics, but songs from artists that have inspired Metallica, and those they've either performed with, or produced covers of. Some of the more notable include Bob Seger ("Turn the Page" was covered by Metallica on their 1998 Garage Inc. album), Lynyrd Skynyrd (the first album James Hetfield bought was from Lynyrd Skynyrd, paid for with his lawnmower money) and Motorhead. Motorhead is a recurring theme in Guitar Hero: Metallica, as not only is the Motorhead anthem "The Ace of Spaces" included, frontman, bassist and all-round legend Lemmy features as a playable character.

Where Aerosmith dabbled in video featurettes and location-specific gigs to immerse the player, Guitar Hero: Metallica goes way further. Not only will you have access to a comprehensive extras submenu that features unlockable venues, songs, commentary, videos and behind-the-scenes footage, you can also replay completed songs with trivia pop-ups that give information about each track. With guest artist songs, you can learn how each band is tied to Metallica, along with lyrics and history facts.

Themed Battle Modes will make an appearance too. We didn't get to sample these, but we've been reliably informed you'll be able to "fade to black" your opponents note track.

I've previously bought Guitar Hero World Tour game on the Nintendo Wii and found out that the songs I played and enjoyed the most was "Trapped Under Ice" from Metallica so what could I do else than buy the title when it got released?

I was really excited when they announced the making of a Metallica dedicated GH game and bought it as soon as I could.

What can I say from it?

It's a strong game with killer songs, however missing some really good songs from their albums but they have couple of strong ones that you will enjoy to play over and over without getting tired to practice them to go through harder levels. The game is well designes, well thought. You don't have to go through all the same songs that you don't like over and over to reach the harder ones and the ones that are wroth to play a lot.

You will enjoy the game at 50% of it's capacity if you're a fan of Guitar Hero and you will enjoy the game at 100% of it's capacity if you're a fan of Guitar Hero and a big fan of Metallica like I am.

Don't hesitate, buy one copy of that game, it's a piece of art, piece of good work, piece of METALLICA!!!!

Enjoy!

I bought this item for my grandsons birthday. He went absolutely nuts when he unwrapped it. He could hardly wait to open it and get started playing. Mom and dad had to remind him that there were more presents along with cake and icecream. Needless to say... Right after he blew out the candles he went right for the Guitar Hero forgoing the cake and icecream until much later. Thanks for your great pricing and prompt delivery.

I like this band since i was a teenager, and guitar hero is awesome!.....................................................................................................................................................................................................

If you are a true Metallica, this is a MUST HAVE!!! I have listened to Metallica since the 80's and this game displays their top songs from the very beginning to today. Every time I play this game, it takes me back to my childhood.

The graphics are excellent, the songs are awesome...I can go on and on about this game!

Buy this game today!

The song named "One" is worth the price of admission alone. Every other song is gravy! Great song list, challenging, and its difficult to turn it off.

The reason these companies make money, is that most people do not bother getting all the referrals. All you have to do is post it on eBay or other website I mention before!

If you love metallica this game is perfect for you. Has many other tracks as well. You'll enjoy the game just to listen to your favorite metallica songs. Plus has many facts about Metallica throughout the game. Highly recommended for Guitar Hero fans and Metallica fans.

I bought Metallica and World Tour at the same time. Metallica is the one I play. It has a lot of great songs. It was a toss up between this or Rock Band. I think I made the right choice.

This game rocks! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for something besides legends of rock and aerosmith. Alot of great songs!! My son loves it!

I like how the seller was honest about his description and shipment about the item. Excellent! He is a great seller!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Has some great songs on it. Also like that its not all Metallica. Change it up a bit. Was really glad to see the vintage Metallica songs. Hope I never get a scratch on this disc ;) Rock on.

The item I purchased is NOT the item that I received. It was stated in the auction listing that I was purchasing a NEW Wii game and that it was in ORIGINAL PACKAGING. What I received (after a month and having to file a complaint) is a FAKE, and our system will not even read the disc. We have been SCAMMED!!!!!!!!!!!

I bought the Guitar Hero Metallica for my 12 year old son. He loves it. He isn't too crazy about the white guitar. But the purchase came quickly and on time.
Thanks
