As this waveform for " My Apocalypse" shows, the Guitar Hero downloadable version (bottom) is far less compressed than the CD release of Death Magnetic (top). The recordings from Death Magnetic used in Guitar Hero: Metallica are notable for being far less compressed than the CD versions. Matt Helgeson of Game Informer reviewed the soundtrack as "the best hit to miss ratio of any music game to date". The setlist has been well received by critics, stating that the setlist reads like "the quintessential 'Best Of' track list for the band". Songs can be played in a Career mode in both single player and band modes to work through the song list below, or players may play any song using the game's Quickplay feature. To match notes, lead and bass guitar players hold down fret buttons while strumming on the controller, drum players strike the matching drum pads on the drum controller, and vocalists attempt to match pitch with the song. In any mode, players attempt to match notes on instrument controllers as indicated by scrolling notes on-screen in order to score points and prevent the song from ending in failure. Players can play alone or with others both locally and online in competitive and cooperative game modes. Guitar Hero: Metallica features a "full band" mode similar to Guitar Hero World Tour that allows for up to four players to play lead guitar, bass guitar, drums, and vocals. The whole Death Magnetic album was later released on Wii as Guitar Hero 5 downloadable content in November 2009. The PlayStation 2 and Wii versions of the game include three tracks from Death Magnetic, which was otherwise available as downloadable content for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 users.

The game focuses on the band Metallica, the second title in the series to focus on a specific band after the series' previous Guitar Hero: Aerosmith.
