by Nick Breckon, Jan 15, 2009 1:00pm PST

The PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions of Guitar Hero: Metallica will arrive in stores on March 29, according to a note from the band spotted by Joystiq.

The rhythm game is set to include 28 Metallica songs, along with tracks from Alice in Chains, the Foo Fighters, Slayer, Machine Head and Queen. An Expert+ drumming mode that enables support for two kick pedals will distinguish the gameplay from World Tour.

"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.

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 ;)
