Metallica to become Guitar Heroes
Even though Guitar Hero: Aerosmith is barely off the tour bus, Activision has already announced a second band-centric Guitar Hero game: Guitar Hero: Metallica. The news was buried deep within an Activision financial report from the weekend, though details are sparse -- all we know is that the game will release during the current fiscal year (which ends on March 31st, 2009), and will "likely follow" the release of Guitar Hero: World Tour. Whether it will use the various instruments that World Tour will introduce is a mystery, as are which platforms it will appear on.
It's not the first time that the aging anti-piracy campaigners heavy metal quartet has appeared in a Guitar Hero title, of course -- Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock featured the excellent (and finger-busting) "One". Some Metallica tracks that don't make us sob with their sheer, brain-addling difficulty would be welcomed in the Fanboy HQ.
