Customer Ratings & Reviews

I think Derek14790 is a little racist towards Activision. lol. Even if you are the type to jump on the bandwagon of hating games based from their makers, you have to recognize a good game when you see it no matter how much it pains you to admit it. I loved Guitar Hero II and thought they started putting too many popular songs on the Guitar Hero games after that. Still I've supported every Guitar Hero game that comes out because each of them have at least some songs I like and you can't put a price on how much fun you have playing the game. Rockband is fun too but I dont like the background when you play the game. I think Guitar Hero is much better in that sense. And now...finally a Guitar Hero to experience. Anyone who is a true Metallica fan will love EVERY song choice on the track list. And if you only like Metallica based on what you've heard on the radio...then you'll be pleasantly suprised by the musical explosion your ear drums will hear. THIS is the Guitar Hero any music fan has been waiting for. Now I'm crossin my fingers for a Guitar Hero Pantera. Come on Guitar Hero you can do it...I believe in you.

okay I am going to start by saying any one that says this game is not so fun should go pound sand becuse well....This is the best GH game yet, my buddy and got this the day it came out along with a double bass peddle and I will say the sounds of metallica have filled the house ever sence. Now I was to comment on the kid who said it keeps freezing um I have played this game for 23 hours non stop and didnt freeze once so I think its your xbox, and for the guy who said you can beat it in 2 days.....you can if your really good but this game has A TON of extra videos and back stage stuff its almost worth just for that, its got live songs, and even song facts. The gameplay is fine and the fun facter is way up there, becuse the first two songs you play are from metallica then you play a few guest acts then after that you can play metallica all you want, sure all games get broring after a bit...but theres nothing boring about dyers eve on expert on drums.....try it....I dare you....

this game seriously rocks from begining to end metallica is seriously one very awesome band cant wait for megadeths game to come out on the xbox or wii i heard alot of rumors that dave mustaines band might get a guitar hero or rock band video game also i hope these rumors are true and i cant wait to own slayer rock band or guitar hero i heard slayer was also going to get a game made for their band also both guitar hero and rock band both kick major butt

The point of this game is not to get through the career as fast as possible, but it's to top your scores and continue to get better. It's meant for players to enjoy playing METALLICA's music in game. Metallica songs were the most requested to be in guitar hero.... now theres a whole game for them! this game is WAY better than aerosmith because the tracks are FUN, the music is EXCITING, the animation is DEAD-ON. If you loved guitar hero 2, or 3, and missed the old challenge that guitar hero used to bring you, then purchase this game. If u want to complete the career and then figure ur done with the game... don't bother. If u DO want to complete the entire career, ya it'll take u merely 2 days-ish, but then u can go ahead and watch some of the metallifacts on ur favorite songs! if u want, watch the videos in the extras to see a few live performances =p and funny mo-cap footage. Get this game and try to top your scores!! this is a keeper for sure!

The only thing bad I can say about this game really has nothing to do with the game itself. If you hold the guitar wrong it enables the super multiplier. On to the game, as a kid I wanted more than nothing than to be in Metallica seeing is how I am not very talented I'll just have to use this game. When they announced that they were releasing this game I was skeptical. Needless to say but I was dead wrong. The game stands up to replay and goes through the onslaught of hard core Metallica songs. Now if it were me making it, there would have been a couple of other songs on it but hey that's why I work in the cell phone industry and don't make video games. I love this game and could not set it down for a week. Easy to say it's the best Guitar Hero ever.

This game is a dream come true. I love playing to the Metallica songs and approve of their choices. Machine Head, Corrosion of Conformity, and Samhain are standouts. It rules!!!

This game kicks major Metallica, dude! It's a really awesome game to play. I now own all, including: GH II, III: LOR, Aerosmith, & World Tour. That's a lot of songs, and a lot of Guitar Hero. I know that Rock Band has: Rock Band: The Beatles coming out soon. Since my sister loves The Beatles, I'll tell her to get Rock Band: The Beatles .... while I'm busy trying (and hoping if it ever comes out) to wait on Guitar Hero: Pink Floyd!!

I love guitar hero, and whats even better than thrashing to any other band than metallica? i cant wait for the game to come out, and if the release date s right, then the game will be coming out just a few days before my birthday! BEST BIRTHDAY PRESENT EVER gotta pre order it now, though, or else it will go flying of the shelves... aerosmith, i admit, was a fail, but metallica, there isnt a bad song by them, I cant wait!

I only consider myself a casual guitar hero player. That said, this is by far my favorite Guitar Hero. I think the reason this one drew me in the way it did was because for one it features one of my favorite bands and also because the onstage performance is actually believable and fun to watch. They really nailed the "feels like you're at a real Metallica concert" idea, and did I mention the gameplay is a lot of fun. I only recommend this as a social experience though as I've always found Music/Rhythm games to be quite simple and boring when playing alone. This game is best played with 2 or 3 good friends on a weekend night. I can't imagine this game having much replay value when playing alone, unless you're a hardcore GH fanatic. That's not a complaint about this specific game, it's just a problem I find with all GH or Rock Band game.

This is a great game. It has a great playlist that includes many metallica songs as well as songs from other bands that metallica likes. The music quality is great. If you like guitar hero then you will love this game.

This game is sick, I grew up listing to metallica and it is awesome to play all of their great songs. In my opinion I believe this game is a little harder that the previous Guitar Hero games

This will be THE best GH game to hit shelves and the best part is its on my birthday. Cant wait to play this online with people that acyually will have a similar music interest.

this game is the best so far you gonna like it and you gonna love it if you big metallica fan

As we all know, Metallica is near the greatest band to ever exist. While it is harsh to not see more songs on the setlist, I must admit that the songs included are good examples of all the greatest qualities of Metallica. With Activision putting in as much effort as they could to make this GH the best one yet with the iconic stadium/stage setup, visual effects, and I mean, THEY EVEN ADDED A NEW PIECE OF EQUIPMENT! That alone says a lot for what this epic game is going to turn out to be, EPIC!

In my opinion this is one of the better guitar hero games. The graphics are good and most of the songs are great, although playing the same artist over and over again gets old quickly unless you're playing with friends. If you are a die hard Metallica fan you will love this game.

I think that this game is awsome.........It is by far the best gutair hero.A must buy.

Guitar Hero: Metallica will be based on the band approach presented in Guitar Hero World Tour, and will feature parts of lead and bass guitar, drums, and vocals. You will not be let down. Think of it, if you would, an enhanced version of World Tour. Keep in mind, This game is for the 'Hardcore' Guitar Hero gamers out there. I wouldn't suggest making this Guitar Hero the first you've ever played.

What could embody the Guitar Hero franchise more than METALLICA! I mean come on what was the first thing you said when you played the first GH>>>>Where is Mettallica! Welll, all I can say is there is no way they could include all the awsome songs done by these guys? We would need a 2nd disk! By far this is "THE" game to buy!!

well. here we go again... pending massive profit on a mediocre title.. this will be literally the same as previous entries into the series.. except for new songs of course.. if you played guitar hero aerosmith.. get ready for the same lackluster content.. short clips of the band.. etc...definitely woth renting but thats about it.. you will beat it in 1-2 days...

This game is a great addition to the Guitar Hero franchise. With music spanning the band's entire career, it is a great retrospective of possibly the greatest rock band of all time.
