A few we thought were missing;
Sanitarium, The Unforgiven, and One!
So many good songs, but only so much room.
Apparently the songs were selected by the band.

Game features for Guitar Hero Metallica include the “Fade to Black” move, which completely blacks out their opponent’s fretboard, or “Trapped Under Ice”, freezing the other players whammy bar.

A new feature for the game is the ability for the drummer to use two pedals with your drum set for the Metallica double bass in a difficulty mode called Expert+.

No mention of whether Jason Newsted, Dave Mustaine or Cliff make an appearance, but there is footage of the band’s career in the game.

Many expect to hear Van Halen as the next super bad Guitar Hero release.

This is a great time to stock up on Guitar Hero Skins so you’re ready to shred!
