    Does Anyone Have Guitar Hero: Metallica For The Wii? Saturday, March 06, 2010 9:06 AM (permalink)
    Hi gang... I'm a TOTAL n00b when it comes to this, so please bear with me.
     
    The family got a Wii for Christmas this year. It's honest to God my first "gaming system" since the Atari 2600, just to give you an idea how deep my n00bitude runs with all of this.
     
    Last weekend, I picked up Guitar Hero: Metallica for the Wii thinking it might be a lot of fun to do some rocking out. Turns out, the game is a "stand alone" in that I don't need any other GH software to play it.  But, it appears that I need a guitar controller.
     
    Can someone please help me out and at least point me in the direction of a guitar controller that's compatible with the GH: Metallica?  I've done a bit of Googling, and I'm even more confused now.  I have no idea whether I need something for GH 5 or GH World Tour or any of that stuff.  I can't find anything that specifically says "compatible with GH: Metallica for the Wii".
     
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm currently poking around the GH Store... is this the right place to be looking? Perhaps this is the controller I need?
     
    Thanks gang!!!

      Any guitar hero controller will work for any guitar hero game on that system (IIRC)

        Yep. Either the GH4 or GH5 controllers (for the wii) will work with GH: Metallica. Note, Rock Band controllers on the Wii are not inter-operable with Guitar Hero, as far as I know. So make sure it's a Guitar Hero controller.

          I second what these guys said.

          Just hit up any local video game store. They should be able to help you.

          All you need is any GH controller for the Wii.

              Any one will do. The Les Paul controller that was released with GH3 is fairly easy to find and fairly cheap.

              And hopefully you'll enjoy the game. It's a LOT of fucking fun and a great tracklist.

                    Santa was kind enough to bundle that with the Wii on XMas morning.
                     
                    We don't have many games at this point... just a handful, really... but Wii Resort has BY FAR gotten the most play since we got the Wii. It's freaking awesome.
                     
                    In fact, just the other night, I *finally* found all 80 "i's" on the Island Flyover, and there was much rejoicing in the household.

                            Note, Rock Band controllers on the Wii are not inter-operable with Guitar Hero, as far as I know. So make sure it's a Guitar Hero controller.

                            Some are compatable.  We have Rock Band 2 and we rented one Guitar Hero game and our instruments worked fine.  But I rented Guitar Hero Metallica and none of them worked.  So I guess it depends on the specific game.  Eventually I will end up buying Guitar Hero Metallica along with a guitar hero guitar.

                              Yep, any GH ones should work. It's a pretty killer game, too, tons of good tunes on there

                              Enjoy!

                                We have GH Metallica for PS2, lots of great fun and some songs are pretty tough.
