![]() As I said in my review of World Tour last year, this feature will only be used by a minority of gamers, but it’s a pretty nice bonus all the same. You also get Neversoft’s music studio – a tool that allows you to build and record your own tracks (minus vocals). Everyone differs in their taste in music, but I’d expect most metal fans to be reasonable pleased with the overall selection – and since this game is basically a re-shelling of World Tour, all the tracks can be played with a full band of you and up to three chums. ![]() As always, it’s probably worth checking out the full track listing before you whip out your credit card. The former category contains most of the group’s biggest tracks, including Enter Sandman, One and Master of Puppets, while the latter includes choice cuts from the likes of Slayer, Mastodon and System of a Down. What you essentially get here is 49 tracks metal and heavy rock tracks – 28 of them culled from Metallica’s back catalogue, and a further 21 selected by the band themselves. Personally, I liked the broad mix of genres in last year’s World Tour, but many long-term GH fans seemed to feel that there wasn’t enough metal on the playlist if you shared that opinion then Neversoft’s latest version might just be the perfect tonic – assuming, of course, that you like the work of Lars Ulrich and co. It’s a niche product, certainly – but one that pursues a musical direction more in line with the earlier entries in the series. Moaning aside, Guitar Hero: Metallica is actually a very accomplished release. As much as I love these strum-em-ups, it’s hard not to be a bit cynical about this flurry of full-price releases – particularly when DLC offers a cheaper way to expand the existing titles. This year we’re already set to receive GH: Metallica, GH: Van Halen and GH: Smash Hits, as well as proper follow up to last year’s wildly successful GH: World Tour. There’s a real danger that Guitar Hero may be falling into the same trap that EA’s FIFA series did in the late 1990s, in the sense that we seem to be getting more games than we arguably need.
