    This game is great. Obviously it's centered around Metallica, so if you're not a fan of this band, move on. (And why are you even reading this?). I happen to love Metallica, and this games for me. The song selection is awesome, both the Metallica songs and not, and I'm glad thay went back to the GH I-III style career, which I prefer. Pick this up soon.

    I liked Guitar Hero before, and with Metallica songs this just rocks. Nice bonus facts added to the tracks.

    its not my favorite video game in the Guitar Hero series, but 260 songs are way easier to beat in this one.

    This game is really good. It has nice gameplay and a very good song list. It's really fun to play it with friends, just like the other games in this franchise.

    Metallica is my favorite band and I am a huge guitar hero fan. When they came out with this game when I was younger I was absolutely stoked and could not wait to play it once I got it. I'm almost sure I played the whole game within the next 2 to 3 days. Still to this day it is one of my favorite games of all time and one of my top favorites for guitar hero games.

The only thing I would of liked was to be able to possibly purchase extra songs that were not made directly for the game that were left off of the Metallica track list.… Expand

    La perfección junto al 3 de los juegos rítmos... Es el ejemplo a tomar. Coges al grupo más popular de la historia del metal, colocas sus canciones más populares al servicio del jugador y a disfrutar. El gran punto a favor es que al ser heavy metal todo su repertorio, la dificultad de las canciones era el más alto hasta la fecha y suponía un verdadero reto incluso para el hardcore.

Sacar todas las canciones en 5 estrellas era un reto a la altura de pocos, y hacerlo con batería en modo experto+ ya solo para los enfermos. Histórico.… Expand

    It certainly doesn't reinvent the wheel, but it's been a while since I've had this much fun with a music game. The Wii version suffers from poor compression on the bonus content, but the core game shouldn't be missed.

    With Guitar Hero: Metallica, it looks like Neversoft was able to balance the interests of fans of the band and fans of the franchise.

    Guitar Hero: Metallica is exactly what you expect it to be: a solid, offhand reworking of Guitar Hero World Tour with a bunch of Metallica songs.
