New Demo for Guitar Hero : Metallica is out on Xbox Live

by Sean on Nov.22, 2009, under

As the title so states above, the new demo for Guitar Hero's new money grubbing escapade is out on Xbox Live for download (free). I made the choice earlier when I had Nate and a friend over that the songs and new parts of the game are worth trying so we tried it out. The demo has 4 songs, 3 of which I can remember the names of. They are :

Alice In Chains - No Excuses
Metallica - Seek and Destroy
Queen - Stone Cold Crazy

These songs are great to play for the demo and I enjoyed the demo so I decided to go and pre order the game, which is slated to be released on the 29th. This is still quite like World Tour was, but has improved on many aspects, such as your progress bar and score are being measured on the right side of the screen and you can clearly see how you are doing on the left side of your own fret board instead of in the top left with the score like WT was like. The visual design is much more dark and "METAL" which is actually a good look for GH. The graphics are improved, but the motion capture and movements of the characters are still rather blocky and static. Camera movements are still limited and the drummer (not surprisingly) still looks like a tard when drumming. S/he doesnt even hit the drums from the camera angles I've seen. Still, despite my better judgement, I have decided to go ahead and purchace the game and will give a more in detail review once the game is in my hands. I have a video posted here of the drums for one of the songs on Hard mode (its me playing) and you can check that out if you want. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9v81fX5d6g

P.S. Another game to download the demo for is Wanted : Weapon of Fate as its an awesome demo, albeit short and enclosed.
