- Drummer Lars Ulrich had issues performing the motion capture for one of the included songs. Mr. Ulrich hadn’t played the song in years, and couldn’t get the timing correct. A video of this recording session will be in the game.
- story starts you off as Metallica’s opening act, but you’ll move on to playing as Metallica
- menu animation based on Pushead

- unlockable skins allow you to look like Metallica from years gone by
- full track list to be revealed next week
- new skill level “expert-plus” requires an addition kick-drum pedal
- cannot choose between lead or rhythm guitar
- bonus features: live videos from special performances, videos of Metallica working on the game, pictures of the early days in the band, old set lists
