Metal's biggest band ever comes home to the music franchise that started a revolution

User Rating: 9 | Guitar Hero: Metallica WII
By seaward12 | Review Date:
Guitar Hero: Metallica is a great music game, one that has a track list that almost seems like it was written expressly for the purpose of this title. A lot of care was put into the production to ensure that it is both true to the band and its music, while also offering fans cool insight into the group's on-goings. It certainly doesn't reinvent the wheel, but it's been a while since I've had this much fun with a music game. The Wii version suffers from poor compression on the bonus content, but the core game shouldn't be missed.


Presentation
The included behind-the-scenes content is great, though the visual quality of the content is quite poor at times 7/10

Graphics
The guys look very much like themselves, which is great. It's not the flashiest game out there, but it does the job well 7.5/10

Sound
The set list here is killer. It's smaller than the yearly big releases, but it has the best bang-for-the-buck ratio 9/10

Gameplay
There's not a whole lot of new stuff here, but the songs are extremely fun to play. 9/10

Lasting Appeal
The smaller-than-normal set list and lack of DLC support may not last you forever, but the included tracks are great for many plays 7/10

Overall: 9/10

My Verdict: Buy It :)
