Too much money for what you get.

I bought this game and I cannot help but feel I paid too much. It seems like it should be the price of an expansion pack; something the console world has not caught on to yet. You get about 45 songs with the game plus the standout Metallica songs throughout history of the band, almost. The reason I say almost is some the standout songs such as the four horseman and the justice for all album are missing or just under represented. (I would bet that these were left out on purpose so Activision can nickel and dime you for them).
The gameplay is the same as GH: World Tour so you can get online with your band. The guest bands are a kind of a an odd bunch but I assume that Activision is going for variety. The bands range from Lynyrd Skynyrd to a System of a Down. Also, might I add they these songs are MUCH easier to play than any of the Metallica selections. I usually play fairly well on hard but I had to gear down to medium just to get by some of the smoking guitar solos in most of the Metallica songs.
The career is refreshing because it does not force you to play every song in a set before moving on the next venue. It's something I would like to see in the future from the next GH; you only really have to play the songs you want to play in order to progress.
All in all, I would not buy this game if I knew what I was getting in to beforehand. It seems like too little for the price you pay and given the band's already diminished (greedy) reputation, I can't help but feel like I fell for the hype.
