I'm not even a huge Metallica fan by any means, but this sounds like it's going to be gooooood.

Dyer's Eve? Fuck, that will be impossible.

[jwest27 0]

Oh man. "For Whom the Bell Tolls" and "Creeping Death" are going to be fun. "Blood and Thunder" and fuckin' Slayer is icing on the cake.

[DMann2003 0]

Sweet, Albatros is on it too!

Mommy's Little Monster better be a fucking master unlike that crap cover of Story of My Life from GH3

This game was the main reason I bought World Tour. Glad to see the song list is going to pay off. Of course, I miss the hilarity of not getting to play "St. Anger" though.

At least you can play FranTICK TICK TICK TICK TICK TICK TOCK

[NoCalMike 0]

Double-Bass pedal expansion will be cool but I heard it only works on the extreme expert level......DAMMIT.

[Paul Stanley 0]

I'd pay $60 just for "The boys are back in town"

[Broward83 0]

Yeah, the double kickpad is for the "Ultra Hard Lars Mode" that you can only get to if you have the double kickers..I know that where I work, if you reserve GH: Metallica, you get the kickpad with splitter for free.. *shrug*

[Jaxxson Mayhem 0]

How much is this supposed to be?

[Red Baron 0]

Whiplash is going to be nuts on guitar. No Bleeding Me though.

[Broward83 0]

59.99 for the game and I'm assuming 89.99 for a possible GH: Metallica guitar pack..but I haven't seen one pop up on our reserve list so..more than likely just the game..

[BifEverchad 0]

There's no plans as of right now to release this as a bundle.

The game alone has a SRP of $59.99

[Jaxxson Mayhem 0]

And its being released when?

[Black Lushus 0]

The only song from Death Magnetic on there is one of the worst songs from that album...

I happen to think All Nightmare Long is one of the strongest tracks on Death Magnetic, top 3 on the album with That was Just Your Life and Judas Kiss.

[Cartman 0]

Well if you want to play Death Magnetic songs you can d/l the whole album for GH3 or WT anyways. I will be picking this up at launch, which is something I hardly ever do. Awesome tracklist. I am very dissapointed with no Bleeding Me though.

[Black Lushus 0]

Oh.

 

Say...is that option available on the Wii?

[Broward83 0]

GH: Metallica is coming out in mid to late March.

[Cartman 0]

Oh.

 

Say...is that option available on the Wii?

 

No sorry, only PS3 and 360.

[AnonymousBroccoli 0]

Oh, 49 songs total. That's not awful, I guess. But it is still a step back from the core games, which give you in the 80s. And odds are, it'll end up being $65-70 in Canada.

 

I will say that "Stacked Actors" is one of those songs I'd really like to play.

[Conspiracy_Victim 0]

Yeah, I was hoping "Stacked Actors" would be on the Foo pack that came out a while ago for RB2. Song sounds like it would be real fun to play. The Bob Seger version of "Turn the Page" on a Metallica GH is a nice touch.

 

As for the game, I've never been a big Metallica fan (heresey I know) but I appreciate their more popular works, and they got the more popular tracks, so I'm happy with it. Probably won't get it at launch though.

Wasn't "Ace of Spades" in the original Guitar Hero, albeit a cover? If they let you use the mic in this game, have fun destroying your vocal chords trying to emulate Lemmy's voice .

 

I'm glad Fade to Black, Sad But True, Unforgiven, and No Leaf Clover made it into the game. Especially the later.

It's in the original Guitar Hero, yep. What I assume is a re-recording--"Ace of Spades '08"--is also on the Rock Band 2 disc.

[luke-o 0]

Oh.

3 tracks are. Not the whole album though.

 

Some of the bonus tracks on this sound really good which may convince me to buy it. But I'm not sure if I like Metallica enough to buy a game based on their songs. I only like a handful of tracks.

[Edwin MacPhisto 0]

I'm pre-ordering this for Agent.

Oh yeah, I never even realized that..

 

Enough with the fuckin' Ace of Spades.

I saw the set list for the Metallica game a week or so ago. It looks great; much better than GH: Aerosmith. But as much as I love Metallica, their songs give me fits on Rock Band and GH. I still can't beat "One" on Hard on GH3, or "Battery" on Rock Band 2. Sandman's easy. I barely scarpe by their DLC on Rock Band. I'm not sure I could play this game on a difficulty higher than medium and make it more than halfway through.
