Metallica guitar hero

Aside from an awesome track list, it seems Metallica's Guitar Hero venture will bands that they have been touring with as well. It seems to be 100% metal!

Folks over at the ScoreHero forums have just posted some pretty enticing details on the upcoming Guitar Hero: Metallica game. It will amp up the experience by bringing a handful of interesting new tweaks into the game, according to the forum post. The most exciting tidbit is the addition of a new "Expert Plus" drum difficulty that supposedly allows you to use two kick pedals via a splitter to perform double bass maneuvers. That alone will likely be a deciding factor for many folks sitting on the fence about the game. Also, a new drum fill cheat is expected to let you play freestyle drums using Metallica drum sounds.

Additionally, the game will be packed with DVD style content including band photos, set lists, videos, and special footage, and players will be able to watch performances of tracks that feature pop-up band trivia.

The confirmed track list so far includes 11 Metallica tunes, and some seriously shred-worthy songs by other rock and metal groups.
