"Guitar Hero: Metallica" for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Wii includes a wide range of Metallica songs spanning the band's entire career and a selection of songs from bands that either inspired or were inspired by Metallica. 

"Guitar Hero: Metallica" is one of the most difficult and challenging Guitar Hero or Rock Band games, but it's also a fan favorite. The guitar work is intricate and interesting, the drums are frantic and wild, and the bass is more than just the same repetitive notes over and over again.

It is worth noting that you can export the "Guitar Hero: Metallica" tracklist into "Guitar Hero 5" and "Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock." Here's the full list.
