Overall:

Since there isn’t much information about the game, it seems that most everything that could be listed has been listed. I don’t know if there are enough sources for there to be a reception section or paragraph, but sentences like “the sounds effects on Damage Inc. are exquisite” from VICE and “an eye-catching rogues’ gallery of bizarre supporting characters” from Ultimate Classic Rock stand out to me. You can do with these what you think is best, but mentioning some of the “supporting characters” as seen in the concept art may be a good idea.
When it mentions that players can hijack other vehicles, it should be mentioned that the player can exit their vehicle to do so.
In the development section, since the game has the same name as a song from their album Master of Puppets, this feels important to mention. The source for this in the development is also not given a timestamp.
Music video, concept art, PlayStation 2, Xbox, Windows, and Kotaku should be linked when they first appear. Vehicle combat should also link to Vehicular combat game.
Because this is the first Metallica video game (although cancelled), I think there should be some mention of their first public video game collaborations, being Guitar Hero: Metallica, and/or the Fortnite collaboration.
Ref. 6 and 11 are the same and should be combined.
Since versions for the Xbox and Windows were planned, add “Cancelled Xbox games” and “Cancelled Windows games” to the categories.
The game genres and developers should also be included in the categories, even though it was unreleased. Also add “Video games developed in the United Kingdom” for this same reason.
