People say get this game only if you like Metallica. I say buy it anyway.
__GAMEPLAY__
It's Guitar Hero, it's Metallica - how can you go wrong? There's nothing much to say if you've already played a Guitar Hero game. The thing that stands out in this edition is the inclusion of a double bass pedal. This makes the game INSANELY HARD! The bass lines are also very cool compared to most songs - what can I say, Cliff, Jason and Rob are fantastic! Online's better than previous games too, and the new battle mode is awesome with Metallica based attacks - I just wished there was a Kirk Guitar Battle.
I also think there's too many guest artists - I mean, I buy the game for METALLICA. If I want anything else, I buy WT or something like that.
Still, awesome gameplay. Oh, and Death Magnetic is compatible!
9/10

This part of the review isn't even that important, since you look at the note highway most of the time in this game. I just want to say that the animations of Metallica are AMAZING! They resemble them very well and I think this alone is enough to make the score high.
8/10
Bah, I'll stop here. There's nothing else to say. It's a Guitar Hero game - I mean, come on. Get this game, it lasts for a very long time. One of the most difficult games I've ever played.
This is an awesome experience overall. Neversoft finally got the grip of GUITAR HERO.
