Went to Beatles fest today, at the Queen Mary in Long Beach. It was pretty fun. They were screening A Hard Day's Night, and had Shaq's shoe on display for some reason. Anyway, they had a neat-o stage with multiple screens for play. Long line, too. First note: BEAUTIFUL game. It's amazing how clear and stable the Rock Band style can function without that static effect. The game just has a super happy feeling for it. There really isn't much more praise I can give that has yet to be given.
So let's talk about what I disliked.
Well, most o' the issues were with things the game didn't influence, like rude crowd, hot temp, long lines, and the INSTRUMENTS WERE SO STICKY OH GOD WHAT THE HELL. Also, they had Rock Band 2 instruments, not Beatles ones.
In all honesty, the demo they showcased was just that: a demo: a demo. You can't give a full review or find faults in a demo. Expect a good, long, well written review soon after the game's released.
"Final" first impressions: Beautiful graphics, faithful to source material (yeah man, it's good to get away from all those screamin' girls*) and good atmosphere. Not enough game displayed to actually thrash any of it, since all they displayed were positives that people were looking forward to.
So if you want a pretty game that shows The Beatles doing what they did best, this is for you.
It's also good if you're a fan of skinny legs. Of course, they're only real noticeable on George.
This has been SilverHammer, singing his happy song.
