For fans of the Guitar Hero franchise, Guitar Hero: Metallica might be the best entry we've seen yet. I was somewhat lukewarm on my reception to the other band-themed title that Neversoft put out with GH: Aerosmith, but Metallica absolutely blows that game out of the water, not only with the track listing, but the overall time and attention put into the actual presentation, and how the band seems to be infused into every aspect of the game.
-
If you are a fan of Metallica, you must play this game, no question about it.
-
An amazing track list compiling important songs from every album of the bands history, solid character animations of the band, accurate representations of the stages the band has played on that fans will recognize, a digital "diary" of the band, and even special attacks in the Battle mode. There's not much else you could ask for. Guitar Hero: Metallica sets the bar for upcoming band-specific titles.
-
If you’re new to Metallica, this is a great introduction to classic metal, and a showcase title for Neversoft, who have really begun to ride the lightening.

Games Master UKA major step forward for Guitar Hero. The only question to ask is: do you like Metallica? [June 2009, p.79]
-
It’s an almost perfect example that any other similar projects in the future should follow a game that creates a gaming experience that Metallica fans will cherish.
-
Metallica fans will be happy enough, but everyone else will lament the lack of evolution and poor value.
