Metallica Videogame Planned

Thanks to an anonymous reader pointing to this Reuters/Yahoo story with more details on the newly announced Metallica-licensed videogame. Apparently, the 2005-due title, which other sources mention is a vehicular combat game, "has the ideas and the inspiration and the identity of the band behind it", and will, oddly, also feature art input from Geof Darrow of The Matrix/Hard Boiled/Big Guy And Rusty fame. Let's hope the title can improve on band-licensed games from Aerosmith , Journey, or even Iron Maiden?

eh?

Why would someone want to play a game about a team of anti-filesharing activists? What do they do, run around and when you push fire button A they whine to reporters, and button B files lawsuits?

Oh wait, apparently they were some kind of a music group once. Whatever.

I hope they include P2P busting

I want to be able to hire lawyers to have people kicked off of P2P services. If I can't do that, I won't play.

Spoiler Ahead! (not really)

I can see it now...

With Shawn Fanning as the evil supervillian and Hilary Rosen as your trusty sidekick!

Wonderful, I'll run out and get that game right after I drop $50 on Dikatana.

"I wonder what Lars Fatality move will be?"

The lawsuit.

It's gotta be better than...

Revolution X.

The only redeeming feature of this game was the moral dilemma : given the choice, would you save the members of Aerosmith?

What kind of gameplay?

I would expect that a metallica game would feature bus crashes, setting yourself on fire, beating up hookers, etc. Too bad Grand Theft Auto 3 already exists.
