Metallica Videogame Planned

Posted by simoniker on from the exit-life-enter-licensing dept.

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?

    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.
