I just played the demo and I have to say that it is possibly the best/going to be the best Guitar Hero game EVAR! I'm really looking forward to All Nightmare Long and some other great songs.
Just played it and I can tell it's going to be a blast. The two Metallica songs on the demo are nowhere near their toughest songs, and they were still pretty tough. Difficulty was one thing GH:WT is lacking in. Good thing to know we got plenty of that in this game.
I'm loving the demo. I just played Sad But True doing both vocals and guitar. Only got 3 start though... What's really awesome is that the microphones that come with "lips" work for GH:M. As well as regular headsets.
