The Beatles: Rock Band Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The game itself is a lot of fun, great graphics and easy to grow into. There are some obscure Beatles tunes included, but frankly all are fun to play and there are still quite a few of the Beatles' biggest hits on the software as well. Overall I'm very happy with the game itself.
But the drums are not good at all. Without buying covers for them to dampen the noise, they're extremely loud and 'clacky' to play. The guitar feels very cheap too, and overall based on the price of this bundle I guess I got what I paid for. I intend to replace the drums with a better kit that will be more fun to play, but in the meantime I'm stuck with the cheaper drums (according to other reviewers the RB1 drums...which I never had but assume to be true based on pics of the RB2 drum kit - this is no RB2 drum kit).
Do yourself a favor and buy a drum kit and guitar that you like, then pick up this software individually. This kit gets you in the game, but you'll quickly find yourself wanting to upgrade the equipment if you play it for any length of time.

The Game Join John, Paul, George and Ringo on-stage at legendary shows, behind closed doors in the recording studio, and in dreamscapes that bring the psychedelic imagery of the latter stage of their career to life. The acclaimed Rock Band elements of interactive play and full-band capacity are here as well, but with brand-new additions. One of these is full three-part harmonies, which challenge you to recreate The Beatles' vocal blend — a first for any music game and facilitated by the game's support for up to three microphone controllers. In addition, the game supports custom-built controllers modeled after the actual instruments that the Fab Four played, and eventually helped to make iconic, audio straight from the masters and graphics that take you on a magical tour through the key moments in The Beatles history. Produced with the full cooperation of The Beatles and Apple Corps, the game is packed with hidden fab extras that will push you and up to five of your friends to master the songs both online and offline in order to hear rare audio and view unseen photos from the archives.

Rock Band Guitar - Wired Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a great guitar for the price. I like the wired for that sense of a better connection verse wireless (just like internet, I feel wired is better than wireless). The buttons on this are not really cheap to say, but very hard to push in. I am not saying they take all your strength, but they do need to be broken into. The strum bar has a nice feel to it. Overall this is a great wired guitar for anyone out there who just doesn't want wireless just yet.

Rock out with biggest guitarists, bassists, drummers, and singers of all time with this Rock Band Guitar, whether as a solo artist or as part of a hard rocking band. The makers of this guitar made unprecedented deals with top record labels and music publishers to bring you music that spans all genres of rock and includes many master recordings from legendary artists. You can add another guitar to your band for the full 4-player Rock Band experience. This guitar is a modeled replica of the classic Fender Stratocaster guitar. It is fully wireless so you can flail as wildly as you shred. The controller also includes 5 additional frets at the top of the neck so you can tap out extreme solos without having to strum.

The Beatles: Rock Band Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I played through the game this afternoon with 3 of my friends. It was great to play music we all knew from the Beatles. The fact that it is the Beatles should be enough of a selling point here. But for those that are not convinced; it has alot to offer. Granted the main part of the game can be beat in just a few hours, but the replay value is priceless. This rockband rendition offers a new challenge: the Three Part Harmony. So for the first time more than one singer can "blend" their voices at different pitches from differnet microphones to recreate all the true vocal dynamics. This game is a lot more fun than I had given it credit for. Ther cut scenes after every level (4-7 songs a level) is well worth watching. Even the loading screens have something to offer in that they contain rare audio from unpublished recording sessions of the Beatles talking between takes. There is something like 45 (I think) songs on the game. About that many ar supposed to be available to download. And starting in the next few weeks they will be releasing full albums to download and play ("Abbey Road", "Rubber Soul", and 'Sgt. Peppers" are three I have heard coming up) The visuals in the game are a bit more psychedelic than the other rockbands, which is cool.
I would highly reccomend this to anyone that appreciates music. ESPECIALLY to those how have never really taken to the Beatles. If anything will change your mind about their music this game is it. As my best friend said as we were playing Yellow Submarine: "This is surely going to introduce a new generation to the Beatles and hopefully inspire a new wave of musicians." :-) A dreamers wish maybe, but a good one none the less. Take care.
