Guitar Hero Metallica

[Dirtbag]

Remember that "first half of 2009" stuff? Well, we actually have a real date for you now for the all 'Tallica Guitar Hero game . . . March 29 in North America for Xbox 360 and Sony Playstation 3, with our friends outside of North America seeing the game in early May. Nintendo Wii and PS2 will follow later in the Spring, also most likely in early May.

In case you missed the December news story, Guitar Hero Metallica allows you to play as us in either single instrument or band career game modes in your choice of some famous settings or new venues with in the round staging. Included are 28 Metallica songs along with a few from some of our favs like Alice in Chains, the Foo Fighters, Slayer, Machine Head and Queen. There is also an all new Expert+ difficulty setting featuring two bass drum kick pedals (!!!) along with all the gameplay modes from Guitar Hero World Tour.

We've got some fun stuff planned leading up to release, and of course more details and previews of the game, so stay tuned! And if you would like to check out the trailer again, click here. (http://www.metallica.com/index.asp?item=601748)I don't understand why they just couldn't include the Metallica catalog minus S&M and any songs from Garage, Inc. that they might have legal battles over. That said, I can't complain about any of the "guest" bands and am still really psyched for this.

What are the odds that you get to play Extacy of Gold? Either way it looks fun, even if my intermediate skills can only 3 star One.

The thing I hate is that GH World Tour and Rock Band 2 both come with ~80 songs. Now they're gonna release a band centric game for probably full retail price with pretty much half that? It doesn't make sense. I'll buy it a few months later on sale or something, but no way am I paying $60 for it.

They said a lot of Metallica's catalog would be way too hard to play in the game.

Ive been excited about this for MONTHS.


only problem is, PS2 version comes out in the middle of the year....that kinda pissed me off.
