It's coming... http://www.joystiq.com/2008/06/02/guitar-hero-metallica-coming-before-q1-2009/ If this had come out before GH Aerosmith, I would have been sold on the idea. Unless it uses all the instruments from GH4, then it's pointless.
I will say this, Metallica is the one band I can see having a music game dedicated to them, at least up until Hetfield tried to blow himself up.
This might have been worth getting if Neversoft knew how to create fun notecharts. But as it is...no thanks.
Quotith fer mucho trooth. Seriously though, my fingers tremble as the Expert songs prepare to rape them... DN
Im out............ Now it costs more to play guitar hero than it does to play real guitar....... I will just download tabs to the Metallica songs I dont already know and save 50 bucks
Oh man, I just realized that Neversoft is making this. If the charts are anything like One on Expert in GH III, my fingers are gonna fall off.
I'm not really a fan of Metallica and I don't like the concept of single band-based rhythm games at all. I'll be passing on this, just as I'll be passing on the Aerosmith Edition. I think On Tour may be the last Guitar Hero game I buy...probably the last rhythm game as well.
I wouldn't say I'm a fanboy but I like RB better and I couldn't care less. I wrote off Matalica a long time ago.
Lulz to the people who complain about there being so many games. I guess none of them know any Final Fantasy fanatics, my god how many spin offs can you make in ONE YEAR ALONE? DN
They aren't really new games though, just expansion packs. At least the Aerosmith and Metallica games. World Tour and 4 are new games, sure. However, I think the problem some people have is oversaturation in the market which can lead to disinterest in the genre. I don't really care either way, myself.
I'd probably buy it used. Even though their last album sucked, I still enjoy their songs. And this is a better choice than the Aerosmith one.
