![]() ![]() This looks like a stronger package though Boasting a set list including no less than 28 songs plucked from the best of Metallica’s extensive back catalogue, as well as another 21 tracks from acts chosen by Metallica, it looks to be an ideal pairing between the world’s biggest metal band and the fun of plastic instrument waving. ![]() It follows on from last summer’s Guitar Hero: Aerosmith, which even fans of the band found disappointingly weak. To resolve this problem Activision have brought us Guitar Hero: Metallica, the second of the special single band-focussed editions of Guitar Hero. More sequels are planned, with DJ Hero promising to introduce yet more plastic peripherals to clutter your living room (I’m looking at you too Tony Hawk: Ride), and it seems we just can’t get enough of looking like idiots while pretending to play our favourite songs. Indeed, the humble art of flailing around your living room with a plastic instrument in your hands has become an increasingly popular cultural phenomenon - Eminem takes a pop in his latest video, while professional sportsmen, sexy supermodels and even Tony Hawk have been roped in to rock out in their pants for Guitar Hero’s most recent ad campaign. With the release of first Rock Band and then Guitar Hero: World Tour the genre that started with rubbish Konami-made arcade machines has evolved to include microphones and drum kits in addition to the faithful plastic guitar, and the popularity of controller-enhanced music games shows no signs of slowing down. It seems that in the last eighteen months the world has gone totally bonkers for plastic instrument powered games.
