Guitar Hero: Metal Edition is one of the newer Guitar Hero installments to play up to a 6-man band, which has three guitar controllers, a drum set,
a new keytar controller, and a microphone. It is also developed by Vicarious Visions, after Neversoft shut down after developing their last game, Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock. It should be noted that all the songs on the game's setlist are entirely from different styles of metal bands, and a different song is played during the title screen and the mode menu.
