Metallica Owns... GUITAR HERO!
Metallica has just confirmed something we've all been drooling for: there will indeed be an all-Metallica edition of Guitar Hero coming out in the first half of 2009!
The band divulged the following details on their official site: “Guitar Hero: Metallica allows you to play as us in either single instrument or band career game modes in your choice of some famous settings (Tushino Airfield, anyone?) or new venues with in the round staging.”
The game is based off the gameplay modes from the World Tour edition, with the ability to play all instruments, and an additional Expert difficulty setting that lets you play double-kick drums the way the metal gods (and Lars) intended. The game is slated to Include 28 Metallica tracks – along with a few extras from Alice in Chains, Foo Fighters, Slayer, Machine Head and Queen to bring the total to over 40 songs.
The band promises to update their site constantly in the coming months with track listings, feature details, and ordering dates, as well as some preview screens and so on... but if that's just not enough for you, Game Informer magazine has announced they will be offering an exclusive first look at the game very soon.
