So what's the drawback? Well, those that don¹t like Metallica need not apply; the tracklist is 80% Metallica, and the rest is made up of bands that kinda sound like them. Also, the problems of World Tour, as you'd expect, seep into GH: M no fills, can't save your rubbish friends in band mode, etc, but it's ultimately all firnickity nonsense in the face of GH: M's brilliant attempt to celebrate a band in videogame form.
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.

In many ways video games and heavy metal go hand in hand, at least when their digits aren’t occupied with a multiplayer match and/or mind-melting guitar solo. A huge number of games revel in the savagery metal is known for, letting you eviscerate armies of enemies just as soundly as fierce riffs eviscerate mortal souls. Games like Gears of War, Manhunt, Dead Space, and Postal are all examples of carnage, violence, and destruction, so they're totally metal, right?
Brutal Legend soundtrack it's epic, probably one of the best ever. Shadows of the Damned it's awesome, so underrated, sadly.
Bayonetta and Twisted Metal are classics, i still need to play Splatterhouse.
The rumors are swirling, so The Geek Culture has a few suggestions on how Activision can bring back Guitar Hero right.
Ubisoft announced recently that it will be releasing a new guitar-based video game called Rocksmith. Unlike Guitar Hero and Rockband, this game will allow gamers to actually learn how to play the guitar rather than just pressing a set of colored buttons.
So is Rocksmith the guitar game aspiring musicians have been truly looking for?
