Guitar Hero: Metallica in the long run is nothing more then a spin-off release during a time where Guitar Hero continues to print money. The effort is definitely here for the project as a whole and taking on the metal genre is definitely a step in a different direction. You could also make the argument that Activision could've easily just use Metallica's tracks of the past as DLC, but then again why pay what will end up occurring over 60 bucks the paying the same price for a game with everything included? Seems like a rather easy decision for music lovers. In the end, it's up to taste and whether or not you feel the need to explore your metal side and thrash your head out.

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?
