"Where I May Roam" should be "Wherever I May Roam" ... and uh, other than that, if this is "half" the Metallica tracks, I'm seriously disappointed.

In fact, I'll go so far as to say that this track list sucks my balls.

No tracks from puppets, no tracks from lightning, no tracks from justice only 1 from KEA?... uhh, what the hell are they trying to sell? I'm not saying I dislike the tracks that *are* on there, I just think they're seriously limiting themselves unless there are at least 20 other tracks included that cover a pretty wide swath.

For a Metallica game, 28 songs from the band isn't nearly as much as I was expecting. With as many songs that Metallica has in their catalog, I would've liked to see more than 2-3 albums worth.

The GH games are great and all, but am I the only one getting tired of the spinoffs? With the core entries and these additional side games, it's starting to feel like a rhythm version of The Sims.

Demon Cleaner!!!

If I hadn't just bought Rock Band 1 & 2 for 360 (upgrading from Guitar Hero, Encore, and II on PS2), and if I didn't hate the feel of Neversoft's Guitar Hero games, I'd seriously consider picking this up just for that song ;)
