Is it still worth playing?

A 2009 rhythm game built around the career and songs of Metallica, released in North America on the PlayStation 3, Wii and Xbox 360 in March and on the PlayStation 2 in April. Special controllers cover lead and bass guitar, drums and vocals, and songs are played by hitting notes that scroll in time with the music. Each instrument has its own job. Guitarists hold colored fret buttons and strike a strum bar, drummers hit the right pad or the bass drum pedal, and singers match the pitch of the notes through a microphone. On top of that, playing several notes or phrases in a row earns scoring multipliers. A full band playing one band's songs still fills a living room today.
