Diehard GameFAN writes: "While Guitar Hero: Metallica might seem like a pricey song expansion pack, players get a full-fleged experience with mode offerings comparable to Guitar Hero: World Tour. Neversoft took Metallica's involvement seriously with incredible graphics and animation and, of course, the title represents each artists' music offerings well. The game play hasn't advanced one bit since World Tour, but given the franchise's pedigree, fans of the series won't be looking for a drastically different experience. While the number of songs on-disc is a handful lower than World Tour, everything players love about Guitar Hero is here with a fresh coat of paint. Metallica's involvement gives plastic guitar players a lot of notes to shred and the double bass action on the drums will challenge even the most seasoned of drummers. Fans of music games shouldn't pass this one up unless they just really can't stand Metallica".

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?
