The game is great overall. The Beatles really do look like the Beatles from the Cavern all the way through Apple Corp RoofTop. I like the animation they put into the songs that are played in the studio, it's magical. I like that before you pick which instrument you play for a song it lets you know the difficulty. I like that if you pause the game during a song it has a countdown before it resumes. I would like to see these features in Rock Band 3. The only 2 things I don't like (one of them only counts for XBOX 360 users) are the end credits are so long and boring and this is the one for XBOX 360....they should have made it where when you look up the achievements from the game's main menu you have to play certain songs to unlock specific achievements and the songs are listed on the screen and you should be able to jump right into playing those songs rather than having to make them up in a set list from quickplay. Overall I give the game a 9.8 out of 10

This game is great- period. The graphics are stunning, the presentation is top notch. Can't wait for the DLC.

I rented it today - it's pretty good - who knew the guitar was so tricky?

I like the little differences - the stars, the sort by difficulty, the solo and story modes

Heck, I even like a couple of the songs! (not a huge Beatles fan)

The artwork is superb.

Worth the rent - wouldn't buy it tho' - but don't let that stop others!

I saved my post count for this.
BEST MUSIC GAME EVER.
So Perfect. My entire family came and played.
My mom thought the bowing at the end was cute.
The Beatles beats did surprise me at Ringo's cool fills. The End solo FTW.
The extras are awesome to have. I can't wait to play this more.

Graphics: 4.5/5 The backgrounds and dreamscapes and the overall look of the band is really great. The dreamscapes are really vivid and colorful, and the members look a lot like themselves. My only real problem with any of this is when you use "Beatlemania", and the 'highway' turns yellow... it can make it difficult to play drums.

Sound: 4.5/5 TB:RB has a solid soundtrack, no doubt, with songs that are great to play, including "Back in the USSR", "Day Tripper", "Helter Skelter", "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart Club Band", and many more. However, I can't help but notice there are a number of songs that seem to be sort of random inclusions, while great songs like "Eleanor Rigby" and "Hey Jude" are left off disc, forcing anyone interested to pay separately.

Difficulty: 3.5/5 TB:RB isn't a very difficult game, and that was to be expected. There are some surprisingly tricky songs on guitar, and a few somewhat hard songs and sections on drums, but really, this game is what it was thought to be. I'm actually thankful there aren't random not-even-there notes added to the tracks to make them more difficult. *cough* Activision.

Fun: 4.25/5 The Beatles: Rock Band, while probably well worth the $60 just for the experience, might not actually be worth it in the long run. The setlist of 45 songs is mostly great, with a few downers in the set, but the majority of the songs are really fun to play and/or at least listen to, and the backgrounds are all really cool. The menus look good, and there are - I believe - never-before-seen videos and photos, which are unlocked by doing well on songs. If you are a huge, huge, HUGE Beatles fan, this will be an instapurchase with no regrets. However, if you are just a fan, you might soon might wonder why you thought buying this was a good idea. There will be DLC weekly, according to HMX, so that will give this game virtually endless replayability for anybody that gets it.

4.25/5

Pros: A good 85% of the setlist is enjoyable to play, graphics are very good, it's the Beatles.

Cons: Some of the songs added on-disc seem random, only 45 songs, it's the Beatles. This could be a con to anyone that <3's difficulty. :P

I would just like to say that Harmonix will be making the big bucks with this one.
I was at Best Buy today looking for a digital camera and I saw about 6 different people walk out with bundles of all different age groups, kids, adults, teens, couples, even an older man.

I was disappointed with it, to be honest. -_-

Still, a great idea by Harmonix and Apple and others.

wasnt what i expected but its still fun im screwing up alot but its cuz im tired lol went to bed late woke up early love the super speed option tho

You should only get this game if:
1. You are a fan of The Beatles
2. You are a beginner player

I don't feel sorry for anyone who bought or rented the game and didn't like it expecting something different.
