Customer Reviews

Only Buy If You Do Not Already Own A Guitar Hero Guitar
The Game Itself Is Absolutely Fantastic, A Must Have For Metallica Fans, But You Should Only Get The Guitar Bundle If You Do Not Already Own A Guitar For The Ps3. Because The Guitar Is Just A Guitar Hero World Tour Guitar With A Metallica Faceplate. So If You Already Own A Guitar, Then Just Get The Game On It's Own, It Really Is Great.

A game for the rocker non-gamer
I bought this game (including the PS3 console) as a present for my brother, after playing with it in a friends house. I have to admit that I haven't played games for a long long time (commodore amiga years), but this game is something different. Especially, if you are a fun of rock or heavy metal music and you haven't succeeded playing with a real guitar, though you tried, this game makes you feel like you are really playing your favorite music.

I would say that it might give you a push into going for the real thing, i.e., learn to play a real guitar.

Great Band, Great Game, Bad Guitar
The game is great, i really love metalica and the songs in the game are the best. Although it is just a guitar hero world tour guitar the face plate you get is cool. The reason im not giving it 5/5 because it does definitely deserve that is the quality of the guitar, I played the game for 2 hours and the strum bar starts malfunctioning, I read that this is quite a common problem especially with the new guitars, i did not buy mine from Amazon which is lucky because as great as Amazon is i would have to wait about a week for a replacement, although you get 3 months warranty with the guitar. So just hold on to the receipt.
