Well its official. Guitar Hero: Metallica has now officially been announced. Its set to hit stores in early 2009. Personally I can’t wait.
They are taking this game to a different level. It will not follow the same path as GH: Aerosmith, where the band talks about the history of… If you want that, you can watch the Behind the Music of Metallica on YouTube. In this game you will be playing as an up-and-coming band trying to earn a spot on the road with Metallica. Much like the GH: Aerosmith, you will play opening set songs from other bands and end each set as Metallica.
Neversoft has based this game off the Guitar Hero: World Tour engine and kept all of the same new features like, the guitar slider, the music studio, and open bass notes. But with this being Metallica, they needed to add a little more flavor so they felt it was necessary to throw in Expert Plus mode which is a new difficulty level on drums if you have a splitter for two bass pedals. There are other cool features like, Drum Fill Mode, DVD Style Content, and in the GHTunes Studio you will have sounds that were sampled directly from James Hetfields ESP Truckster guitar and Tom Araya’s ESP Bass.
In an interview with Game Informer Magazine, Lars talked about other bands that he was excited about including in the game. Most notably, Slayer. He mention how difficult it was to finally get them into the game because of the strictness of Microsoft and how they monitor certain lyrical content. One band that he mentioned wouldn’t be in the game, unfortunately, was Iron Maiden. That is truly unfortunate.
Some other bands that will be in the game:
- Alice in Chains
- Bob Seger
- Judas Priest
- Kyuss
- Lynyrd Skynrd
- Mastodon
- Michael Schenker Group
- Queen
- Foo Fighters
- The Sword
AND MORE!!!
