Review - Guitar Hero Metallica

A band I?ve followed for years now. I?ve been to several concerts and been listening to their music on my mp3 before that thing we call Ipod. I?m a fan. And as a fan of the great that?s called Metallica, this review will give you a look in to the game if you yourself is a fan. It?s hard to put myself outside that position.
Guitar Hero games in general are all about the songs in it. In this case it?s all about Metallica and bands that have been a part of their career in some way. The thing that makes this game interesting compared to many other GH games is the bonuses. There are several behind the scene videos, the making of and even live concerts to watch in this game. Added to this is also song information, once you?ve completed the song you can ?watch? it and get information about it, when it was recorded, why, back story and so on. All of this adds up to the games worth. Again if you?re a Metallica fan all of this will make you smile and beyond.

Now to the actual gaming; there are not a lot of songs in this game, this will become dead clear once you?ve played it to the end three? four? five times. But it?s not really a negative thing here, the songs are well picked and I must say, very well fitting for GH. For the first time in a good long time, I?ve been digging it while playing the songs (Metallica songs and the rest as well!). This really helps when you just want to play for your enjoyment.
I wish I could say that I?ve played it as a band at home and been enjoying the game with some friends (something I really believe in for this game). It?s a party game that can be fun with friends but also alone which is a very very good thing. Then again, if you need goals to keep yourself interested, the achievements in this game are well balanced. A few complicated once but none of which is impossible to complete, something I really had a problem with in the old GH games.
If you want one of the best Guitar Hero games out there, Guitar Hero Metallica was made for you. It?s a bit smaller but with a lot of bonuses and extra material. You have the option to play as a band with your friends and rock out to some of the best metal songs written. You will not regret getting this game if you?re already a GH fan.
