Guitar Hero: Metallica Demo Impressions
I played the Guitar Hero: Metallica demo this weekend and I was not overly impressed. If it pretty much like Guitar Hero: World Tour, which I was not really fond of, but with a Metallica skin on it. It plays pretty much like World Tour in terms of most chart structure. The one thing I noticed that was a nice addition is now in GH Metallica there is an indicator of how many stars you’ve up to as you play. They use a little bar below the number to show how close you are to the next start which takes works ok, but is a little harder to judge than the circles that Rock Band 2 uses. Still, it is nice they added that the star level indicator at all.
I’m still not a fan of the Guitar Hero graphical style or note chart structures when compared to Rock Band’s, but I’ll probably rent Guitar Hero: Metallica to play through all the songs a time or two and to check out the Expert + Drum Mode.
