Beatles Rock Band

I know some people may be anti-rock band/guitar hero, but I just got The Beatles Rock Band, and I'm quite enjoying it. The gameplay is fanstastic, and they make the background videos really entertaining, I was just wondering if anybody else has it yet

I don't have it now, but I plan on getting it at some point.

Finally, a Rock Band game where every single song is one I'd really want to play and hear.

Yeah it's great, most of the other ones had a lot of crappy songs on them

I prefer the regular RB series. Beatles is too standalone, and there won't be the same support for it further down the line as the regular series.

I do like some of the upgrades to the play system though. I don't have it yet, but I love the idea that you can have multiple people harmonizing or playing the same instrumental part and such.

That being said, I hate the Beatles, save a song or two. I much prefer the Monkees.

I love to monkey around.

But hey, I'm too busy jammin to put the Beatles down.

I lied. Beatles suck.

a friend of mine bought this game on release day, and all of my mates who normally jam together went around and played our respective instruments on rockband

Id only ever played a guitar hero style game once or twice before, and found the bass to be painfully boring, however this wasn't the case with a good percentage of the beatles tracks thanks to Paul

Good fun, really nice build quality too, the drums and guitar (closest ive come to a hofner beatle bass yet) are really nice, the mic and stand are also really good. overall i was pretty impressed.

we played for a couple of days straight

the drums are great fun too, and as someone said before, finally a game where i like nearly all the songs

I've also had the game since release day. The challenge difference between medium and hard is a lot steeper than most of the other RB games. Like the OP I like the backdrop art.

um... I vote this comment be stricken from the record. Paul was knighted for a reason

Jimmy Bones · #9 10-01-2009, 09:42 PM

Same reason lots of people were. He wore bellbottoms in the 60s.

Knighthood really ought to be bestowed on people who deserve it, like Mother Theresa, Ghandi, Jesus, Nelson Mandela, The Guy Who Invented The Wheel, etc. Not musicians who made a killing like McCartney, Elton John, et al.

Also, for the record, I'd rather be bestowed the honor of Kentucky Colonel than a British Knighthood.
