I used to play Guitar Hero. This beatles Rockband’s sound match with instruments is better, but graphic is terrible. I hope they improve graphic part of this game. Best songs, but easy to make me bored because of the simple graphics.

Love it. Love it. Love it. My 6 year old and all her friends love it, too. Too bad Rock band 2 doesn’t have the great video that Rock Band Beatles does. Why the hell am I typing this when I could be playing Rock Band Beatles? Must be the Rahr & Sons beer.

This edition of Rock Band I have mixed feelings on. I do like the Beatles, and am happy with the purchase overall, but when compared to the previous 2 rock bands and now Guitar Hero 5, this did not do much for this genre of gaming, at least from what I have played thus far. It did add harmonizing vocals, but no new features like party mode or multiple guitar or bass play as did Guitar Hero 5. Secondarily, I find myself playing this in hard mode to keep myself entertained for many of the first half of the playlist, when I am at best a medium player thus far on other musical games. I love the graphics of the Beatles, and they have done a wonderful job with overall rendering, but the mix of colors can be distracting to the highways and actually at times interfere with me seeing the notes coming down. I purchased the game only, since I have enough plastic instraments to play with at this time, so hopefully the new instraments are as good as they appear, and that may be a good addition for some folks who may need to update them. If you are not a hardcore Beatles fan, or nearing completion of the other games to the best of your ability, this can wait. For me, I got it the day of release because I’m a fan, no regrets.

I debated buying this because of the high price tag vs. amount of actual content. This game features a mere 40 (or so) tracks, whereas the standard versions of Guitar Hero boast 90+ songs. I bought it anyways because I am a Beatles fan, so while I am not surprised that I was let down, i still feel its not worth the money. You can easily breeze through this game in a couple (and i do mean a ‘couple’ literally) hours, and since all the songs are already unlocked when you buy the game, progressing through the ’story’ is pointless unless you want to unlock some photos.
Of course, all the real content from this game is gonna come from DLC, where they’ll probably charge you twenty bucks per album. If you buy this and are a hardcore Beatles fan, be prepared to shell out boatloads of cash in the future to get the songs and albums they should have put on here in the first place. I consider myself a hardcore Beatles fan, so I know all the songs. Even so, I was disappointed with the tracklist, as alot of the obvious hits were left out in favor of album cuts (i.e., leaving out “Help” to squeeze in “I Dig A Pony”).
As far as the gameplay, its typical Rock Band. Meaning…its way too easy for musical minded people and I think its way to forgiving of errors. Definitely seems like it was dumbed down for the masses. Unless you play on Expert, you’ll just be mindlessly strumming 1-2-3-4 for most of the songs. Again, story mode is pointless but the art design is cool, as is the studio chatter during load screens. Makes you feel like you really are getting ready to record a take in the studio. Still, I cant help but feel like this is merely a very expensive disc to get you to download expensive DLC.
Casual music fans will probably want to skip this in favor of another version of rock band or guitar hero that has double the tracks for less money…or wait til the price drops for a used copy. Beatles Rock Band is definitely for hard core fans only…and even they probably will be let down because theres just not enough of it to justify the full price.

Great graphics. Concert venues and studio dreamscapes are impressive. Story mode is short, because you only need to pass each song once to move on. There are plenty of unlockables and trophies though to extend the experience. Difficulty is easy to moderate, except for the vocals which can be more challenging. Beatles fanatics may be annoyed by the lack of strict historical accuracy (Ringo plays drums here on Back in the USSR! Let It Be songs come last even though Abbey Road was actually recorded after it!) I wasn’t though. More songs would have been nice, but the selection here is a good representation of the Beatles entire career.
