Guitar Hero Metallica PS3 Review
Developer: Neversoft
Publisher: Activision
Guitar Hero is a franchise that has truly managed to stand the test of time, constantly staying innovative and appealing to its core audience with one successful release after another. This latest release, Guitar Hero: Metallica is no different, and will have you rocking once again.
Last year marked the first Guitar Hero release to focus on one specific rock group in the form of Guitar Hero: Aerosmith.
Following up with the success of that title, we have been presented with Guitar Hero: Metallica, and man is it fun.
The first thing that I have to get to in this review is the fact that the game is an absolute blast to play, mainly due to the fact that this is one of the best Guitar Hero soundtracks to date.
The songs make for an amazing collection of rock music, even if you are not a Metallica fan as there is stuff here from tons of bands for you to have fun playing with.
Some of the songs include The Boys Are Back In Town, Toxicity, Ace of Spades from Motorhead, and others just to name a few.
In terms of the gameplay, Neversoft has done a fantastic job of really pumping things up this time out, first and foremost with the addition of the second bass pedal.
I know what you are thinking, oh, just one more thing to try and keep track of. I have to say though that once you play with the two bass pedals, you will never want to play with just one again.
There are plenty of enjoyable game modes here in the form of a battle of the bands, online stuff, the ability to create your own rocker, etc.
Basically, I see this release as a highly improved World Tour, with some kick-butt music to go along with it and a new bass pedal added in.
In terms of the graphics, everything has been upped this time out, with plenty of nice arenas, well-done crowds, etc. This is definitely a step up from what we have seen from Guitar hero games in the past. The lighting and little effects added in create a good rock concert atmosphere.
The other big improvement is the sound area, as the developer clearly went above and beyond to put your 5.1 surround sound system to work finally. The music here is impressive, and will be appreciated by gamers.
I really cannot say enough about Guitar Hero: Metallica. This is the best release in the franchise in quite a long time, and is my favorite release since Guitar Hero 2. Even if you feel a little burnt out with the franchise, this game will reinvigorate the inner rocker in you all over again, a must-buy on the PS3!
Graphics: 8.7 Finally a great-looking Guitar Hero game, tons of detail and fantastic lighting.
Audio: 9.2 This thing will have your surround sound absolutely rocking, great stuff!
Gameplay: 9.5 The addition of the second bass pedal adds a lot of depth to the experience, better than ever!
Replay Value: 9.0 Plenty to do here with the ability to create your own music, battle of the bands, and everything else.
