Gamers will soon be able to walk the line between fantasy and reality, Johnny Cash style.

Guitar Hero 5 will feature a playable animated version of the Man In Black.

Fans will be able to use Cash's character to play and sing "Ring Of Fire" as well as perform at the new Electric Honky Tonk Bar venue, according to reports from Gameguru.in. You can watch a preview video of Cash's character at the Guitar Hero 5 website.

Cash died Sept. 12, 2003 at age 71.

Garbage vocalist Shirley Manson and Carlos Santana will also be characters in the game.

Guitar Hero 5 will include 85 tracks from Beastie Boys, Kings Of Leon, Eagles Of Death Metal, Iron Maiden and others. The game's final 15 tracks were announced last month.
