The Beatles: Rock Band - software only (Xbox 360) 4.5 5 10 13
Best Game I've played so far... Well if your like me, then you probably find "guitar" games to be a little weak, (Bands, songs etc;) and because this you don't have the proper controllers to play the game, (guitar, drums, mike) so you'll want to purchase the entire "special edition" package with all of these things included. That will cost you around $150. Wow... It was a little disapointing though because included is a fender strat which has nothing to do with the beatles. Anyway, it was TOTALLY WORTH IT! The drum kit is pretty awsome, it's quality made and features an aluminum frame, pretty cool. As for the Game WOW! I was totally blown away before I even started playing the game! The intro is AMAZING!!! The gameplay is also AMAZING!! I first used the drums. (i just jumped in and started playing) I found myself with a huge smile on my face and I felt a feeling of aw! I just got so into it. the remastered songs just sound so good. The backgrounds and the "studio chatter" are really cool. There is also a "drum lesson" section which basically teaches you how to drum, and yes, you can pretty much apply these lessons with a real drum kit! (That feature was a BIG plus for me, because I always wanted to learn how to play drums; super cool!) I next used the mike. I'm not that great of singer, but the game can also help with that! It helps harmonize your voice. (even though I've owned this for a day, I've noticed my "singing" in the car does sound slightly better!)There is a slight down side to the game though, It doesn't have some of the songs such as Help, and a day in the life. Hopefully those will be available soon... But all in all, this is the fun-est game I've EVER played!! (even dare I say better than GTA , Halo, and Super mario) When I get to be older, I'm going to look back on this future classic game and remember the play, music and lessons! You should totally get it, trust me IT'S WORTH IT!!! -d 09/15/2009
Reading Problem Solved I bought this product to keep my grandchild from boredom. She thoroughly enjoys the Beatles software but I was amazed how quickly she has learned the songs and realized that this was after all the very product I was searching for to help her in reading.She loves it so much that when it comes to the Beatles she would rather sing than play the drums although playing the drums was the initial reason for the purchase. Her mother and her friends jam with her often and without hinting at helping her with some of the more difficult lyrics, heartily and loudly (at times) sing along with her.I recommend this product to parents with children who are having some issues with reading. The joy of music lends so well with the joy of reading!LoveMyGrandkid 09/26/2009
Okay? if you like the beatles and the 50"s and 60's era of music then you will love this game. it is okay but it is nothing like they way i would have thought it would have been. the graphics are good and the gameplay is good. it is just the songs that doesnt get my taste. 09/22/2009
This is for Beatles fans only. This product is made for hardcore Beatles fans. I tried to play it when I bought it but returned it for a better game soon after. To me the game play was slow and to easy for the hardcore gamer. But, for all of you fans that want to rock with John Lennon, this is the perfect game for you. 03/17/2010
