Activision Publishing have announced that European gamers will have the opportunity to buy a region-exclusive Guitar Hero Metallica Solo Guitar Game bundle when the game is released on May 22nd in Europe (and Australia) and May 29th in the UK.

The bundle includes an exclusive guitar controller faceplace (featuring an iconic Metallica skull motif), a wireless guitar controller and, of course, a copy of Guitar Hero Metallica.

Guitar Hero Metallica features full Guitar Hero World Tour kit support (drums, mic, guitars) with over 45 tracks from Metallica and a carefully selected group of 20 associated artists.

The game also features an Expert drum difficulty setting (for those of you with a double-bass pedal), as well as something called Metallifacts, which allows you to experience a virtual Metallica concert as facts and trivia show up on the screen. Sounds great!

Oh, also, if you live in South Africa, be sure to enter El33tonline’s amazing Guitar Hero Metallica competition, in which you can win a copy of the game as well as the awesome, full-sized Guitar Hero controller, The Warbeast!
