Metallica confirm branded Guitar Hero game
It’s been an open secret for a while now, but it’s finally official that Metallica are getting their own version of Guitar Hero, following in the footsteps of Aerosmith.
Due out next year, it’ll feature 28 of the band’s songs, as well as tracks from Alice In Chains, Foo Fighters, Slayer – \m/ – and Queen. It’ll come with a drumkit as well as a guitar, and there’s apparently an Expert mode using two bass drum kick pedals.
Meanwhile, in other music game news, Pearl Jam’s Ten album will be released in its entirety through Rock Band in March, and EA is publishing metal-centric music game Brutal Legend. Analysts have been suggesting that music games may have reached their peak, but there certainly seems no let-up in the number of deals being signed in this area.
