“Guitar Hero: Metallica, like other games in the Guitar Hero series, allows players to simulate the playing of rock music using special instrument controllers. The game is based on the band approach presented in Guitar Hero World Tour, and features parts of lead and bass guitar, drums, and vocals. To successfully complete songs and score, players must use the instruments to play notes that scroll on-screen in time with the music. For lead and bass guitar players, this is done by holding down colored fret buttons on the guitar neck while striking a strum bar; for the drum players, this requires the player to strike the appropriate drum pad or kick with the bass drum pedal; for vocals, the player must attempt to match the pitch of the notes through a microphone. Players earn scoring multipliers for playing several consecutive notes or phrases correctly, and by correctly completing marked phrases, players can earn Star Power which can be released for a higher scoring multiplier. If players miss too many notes, they will eventually fail the song and will have to retry it.”

“Another uninspiring chapter in the Guitar Hero series, really nothing new here, Metallica fans will like this because of the Metallica content but other than that its just another Guitar Hero game. Not being a huge Metallica fan I was unimpressed.”

“One of the better Guitar hero games. Great setlist, Metallica looks a good deal like they do in real life. There are some fun cheats like the zombie one which turns Metallica into zombies. You can change the color of the gems and flames when you hit a note as well as the color of star power. It's a lot like World Tour for features and everything you can still make your own music and all of that good stuff that we all love.”
