Trivia:

Lars Ulrich in an interview with Game Informer noted that the band stood up for the inclusion of the band Slayer against Microsoft's concerns on the explicit lyrical content of the group's songs. Alan Flores, lead designer for the game, noted that they had originally cleared Slayer's "Angel of Death" but had to pull it due at a late date to pressure on the song's background, instead, at the urging of Ulrich, successfully cleared "War Ensemble" and rushed to include it in the game.

Meets Expectations as a guitar hero game, but really aimed at Metallica Fans.

I am a big fan of the Guitar hero series. i always have been. I don't own some of the newer ones because they've changed. the first guitar heroes were awesome because of their underground feel. playing GH, GH2, and GH: 80's was like playing something very special, something no one thought of before. But ever since the release of Rock band, Guitar hero had to appeal to it's fans by adding drums, and a microphone, but thanks to that, you really can't call guitar hero, guitar hero anymore.

Now it appeals to Metallica Fans, which is awesome, because metallica is one of the most decorated metal bands of all time, if not the best. Personally, my favorite metal bands are Megadeth and Slayer, But it's very, very hard to play whatever songs they dish out because they're so fast. with metallica, they carry a mix. songs like Unforgiven and Enter Sandman Run slow, While Master of puppets and whiplash go fast so you can go fast too.

Bottom line, it's a guitar hero game. If you really like metallica, then this game should belong to you.
