GUITAR HERO METALLICA DRUMS FULL

Unfortunately one thing the game does not carry over from World Tour is the ability to import the rest of your DLC.

There is also a selection of songs from their recently-released Death Magnetic album, but once you beat the career mode you can import your full downloaded album, if you already own it. Outside of a few standouts such as the orchestral medley No Leaf Clover and the anger-inspired anthem Fuel, the newer tracks are not as prominent as the classics.

The more recent you get the tracks become less and less prominent. Then there are several tracks from the band’s most popular album “The Black Album”, including Enter Sandman, Sad But True, Wherever I May Roam and The Unforgiven. Fans of older Metallica will be thrilled to see songs such as One, Fade to Black, Seek and Destroy and Master of Puppets (my personal favorite to play) have made the list. Combined with Metallica’s set list this brings the song tally to over fifty tracks, which range from simply awesome, to moderately enjoyable, much like every other title in the genre.Īs far as Metallica songs are concerned the list contains several classics, plenty of fan-favorites and even a few surprises. There are also a collection of lesser-known acts such as Samhain and King Diamond, and by lesser-known I mean outside of the traditional metal circuit. Classic names such as Lynyrd Skynyrd and Queen share space with modern acts such as Foo Fighters and System of a Down.

Activision decided to let the guys at Metallica hand pick their set list, and from the names on it you can tell they have a wide taste of music. Let’s begin with the special guest acts first to give you an idea what to expect outside of the main attraction.

The biggest draw to GH Metallica though is the music, and if you are a fan of the band you are certainly in for a treat. There are incentives for going back and completing each song such as instruments and of course money to spend, but if you want to jump in and play some of the more complicated songs, it won’t take you long to unlock them in career. This is great for beginners and those of us who get frustrated easily and wind up quitting when we hit a brick wall. This is great in the fact that if you get stuck on certain songs (such as Slayer’s War Ensemble, damn you Slayer) you can move on without having to finish each song in each tier to progress. In fact you can complete the career mode with less than 50% of the songs played. Instead of having to repeat songs over and over if you fail, GH Metallica is much more lenient with unlocking its songs. You can assume the role of James on vocals (and guitar if you are feeling frisky), Lars on drums, Kirk on guitar or Rob on bass.Īs I mentioned earlier the career structure is much different than the mess that was World Tour. It is also worth noting that the entire game can be played as a full band contrary to the title. Also carried over from the aforementioned game are GH Tunes, a music-making application that allows you to create new (albeit limited) songs, and of course the rock star maker. The career mode is reminiscent of past titles with various tiers of increasingly difficult songs, and earning stars will unlock more as you progress. Of course any game of this type is judged by its music, and I can say with utter certainty that Metallica’s tunes were made for this type of game.įor all intents and purposes GH Metallica is essentially the same game as World Tour with some new character models and a few new tweaks. The market is obviously out there as this is the third band specific title to land so far, with at least one more on the way this year. Guitar Hero Metallica is the latest in what is quickly becoming a trend, of single band iterations of popular music games. Well Activision has certainly banked on the idea that you may be familiar with both of them with their latest chapter in the ever-growing Guitar Hero saga. Likewise unless you have been segregated from reality for some time you may also be familiar with a little band known as Metallica. In case you have been living under a rock or perhaps in a cave for the past few years you may have heard of a small game called Guitar Hero.
