I jumped on the Guitar Hero bandwagon a little later than most people since I never actually owned a PS2. But since it's release on the Xbox 360, I have been entertained with the idea of "rocking" out. I've been sold on the experience because it's a great game to play with your friends, or at a get together. Rock Band obviously raised the bar in terms of gameplay with the addition of the drums and microphone, but both now offer instrumental options. I tend to lean towards the RB franchise now, but took the time to play Guitar Hero Aerosmith....and was let down. It just didn't seem like there was any heart in it. Pretty much a standard Guitar Hero game with fancy new characters. I knew then, that if they were to do another game like that, that Metallica would be a great band to focus on.

My prayers were heard by the gods of metal, and I was totally stoked upon hearing about the game so many months ago. I was wary, but kept tabs on the development of the game. Having now beaten the "campaign", I can honestly say this is THE best Guitar Hero game to date. It definitely shows the effort the company put into developing the game, as well as the effort that Metallica (One of my favorite bands EVER) has put forth into this title. Starting from the fiery intro, to the icy ending, I couldn't stop rocking out to all of my favorite Metallica songs. The addition of the "Metalli-facts" feature, and all the various clips and unlockables makes this a complete package.

This game definitely delivers on everything, as well as giving you a challenging ride through this bands career. A must for any metal fan....or for the casual gamer looking for a challenging rhythm game.
