Guitar Hero: Metallica is set to hit the gaming stage on multiple platforms.  Microsoft today announced, that if you are a music game freak, you will be able to use your “Lips” wireless microphones with your Metallica themed Guitar Hero.

It is not very Metal; but using your LED lit wireless “Lips” microphones with a Guitar Hero title is a nice touch for Xbox 360 owners.

The “Lips” microphones have a genuinely nice feel to them, with flashy lights and motion sensitivity enabling people to join in a sing-a-long session of “Lips” at any time.  Guitar Hero: Metallica is the first of a series of hardware cross-over games planned for the Xbox 360.

According to Microsoft: Fans of “Lips” have even more reason to grab their wireless mics and sing with their friends, as more popular hits are added to Xbox LIVE® Marketplace and the “Lips” in-game “Get Music” store. Song packs featuring Ne-Yo, Coldplay and Creedence Clearwater Revival will be available this month, as well as new songs from Incubus, Fall Out Boy, Yellowcard, Mika and more, worldwide in all Xbox LIVE enabled regions.
