Billboard.com is reporting:
Several new gameplay twists emerge for the first time on Guitar Hero: METALLICA, which arrives in stores March 29 from Activision.
Players have a double bass option on drums for the difficult and expert levels, which can be enabled by using a splitter and an additional pedal for the kick drum. In addition, all of the songs will be "unlocked" from the beginning of the game as opposed to them not being available until players reach certain levels, as in previous versions of Guitar Hero.
"It was time to change it up a bit," Neversoft lead designer Alan Flores says. Guitar Hero: Metallica will be available for Wii, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 2. Aerosmith was the first artist to star in its own version of the game, which was released last summer.
This time around, in Career Mode, instead of taking players through the band's career chronologically like in Guitar Hero: Aerosmith, gamers take on the role of a band that rocks its way onto a Metallica tour as the opening act, a premise based on a true story as relayed by frontman James Hetfield.
