Got my copy of The Beatles: Rock Band yesterday! Fired up the Xbox, invited some friends over for an evening of gaming...then promptly beat the game. Turns out 45 songs goes a lot faster than you'd think.
I'm really not complaining, though. It was all in all a very good group gaming experience, and the way that the story mode was arranged was fun to watch. The songs were a lot of fun to play, but it all ended...too soon.
Any thoughts? -
Yeah it's tons of fun to play and tons of fun to watch, but there's just not enough content to justify the cost. I feel like I've been milked by the rights holders. The extras - the photos and videos - are pretty solid, but I'm not enough of a Beatles fan for that to make the difference. At $40 I would recommend this game wholeheartedly - at $60 this game needs to come much closer to an anthology-level collection, rather than a handful of songs (oh but don't forget you can pay to download more!).
I'm torn, because what's on the disc is done very well, but you're definitely paying a substantial Beatles tax (wouldn't George Harrison have been proud?).
Howdy, Stranger!
