This game isn't the first spin-off of the Guitar Hero franchise, but it's easily the best.
Well, that day is here, and it would seem that Activision has absolutely nailed it this time around. When the Guitar Hero franchise began branching out and including band-specific games, fans knew it was only a matter of time before Metallica got the special-edition treatment.

One group that made an early appearance in the series and has been a mainstay ever since is Metallica, the heavy metal band that has inspired countless numbers of wannabe shredders to pick up an instrument and drive their parents nuts. This reboot proved unsuccessful.Ever since the Guitar Hero franchise launched, fans have argued about which bands deserve to appear in the games. However, Guitar Hero returned back in 2015 with Guitar Hero Live, developed by FreeStyle Games, the developers of the DJ Hero series. Neversoft also developed the DJ Hero spin-offs and Band Hero.ĭue to the lack of rhythm games in sales, Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock was Neversoft's final Guitar Hero game and would be the last Guitar Hero game to be developed for several years. Beenox Studios also worked on Guitar Hero: Smash Hits for the consoles.Įven though Guitar Hero 5 was released before Guitar Hero: Van Halen, Guitar Hero: Van Halen used the elements from Guitar Hero: Smash Hits and Guitar Hero: Metallica. While Neversoft was working on the console Guitar Hero games, Vicarious Visions worked on the On Tour series, as well as the Wii ports of the Guitar Hero games, and the iOS version of Guitar Hero.

From that point on, the Guitar Hero series became more focused on full band gameplay. Neversoft introduced more instruments in the fourth main series instalment, Guitar Hero World Tour, likely in an attempt to compete with Rock Band, which had released not too long after Guitar Hero III. The first Guitar Hero game that Neversoft created was Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock, and it was the most successful game in the series, by far. Activision chose a compay called Neversoft to develop the next entry in the Guitar Hero series. Harmonix and RedOctane also developed a spin-off game titled Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s, but eventually RedOctane was bought out by Activision, and Harmonix by MTV.
The first game was extremely successful, prompting sequel, Guitar Hero II, a year later. They partnered with rhythm game developer Harmonix, and released Guitar Hero in November of 2005. This game had only been released in Japan, and RedOctane was confident they could make a very similar game, with a comparable Guitar controller, in the west. Sometime in the early to mid 2000s, hardware developer RedOctane discovered a rhythm game made by Konami called Guitar Freaks, which used a Guitar shaped controller and featured a rock and roll based soundtrack.
