Posted by: from Phoenix, AZ on 01/21/2010I gave this game to my husband for Christmas and he hasn't stopped playing since then. The band members are identical, especially Lars! It has loads of great songs. We love playing as an entire band, and my husband can't get over how awesome and realistic the drums in this game are. I'm getting him the double base paddle. We love this game.

Posted by: from Staten Island,NY on 07/18/2009If your a Guitar Hero fanatic and love Metallica, then there's no doubt you'll love GH Metallica!! Plus you get to play as the whole band like you did for WT (World Tour). Also if you know the members from Metallica such as Robert Trujillo or Kirk Hammett then you'll wanna keep playing until you unlock everyone of there costumes like they're zombie costumes! Anyway the game is a bit more challenging then WT, but the challenge is fun and i reccomend you buy this game. It's a great addition to any GH gaming collection.

THIS GAME ROCKS!!!

Posted by: from Downers Grove, IL on 04/14/2009Seriously - this game is fast, and this game is fun! If you are playing vocals - the words are a bit hard to read and the sound from the mic isn't the best. The notes come hard and they come fast. Be prepared for sore fingers and a shortness of breath when you are done playing. Also chose your bandmates wisely. Having someone that can't keep up ruins the whole experience (unless it is you that can't keep up then nevermind). Also - I think I would have shortended the list of songs from the "Guest Bands" like Thin Lizzy's "The Boyz are Back in Town" or Bob Seger's version of "Turn the Page" to expand the list of Metallica songs.
