Give me your honest opinion: Should I get TB:RB?

[OnAFriday]

Looking at the videos and previews for this game.... it looks REALLY good. The ONLY reason that I haven't purchased it yet: I really don't care too much for The Beatles.

Before you start flaming me, let me just say that I am familiar with their music, and I have tried REALLY hard to start liking their music, especially in anticipation of this game. I have very wide musical tastes, so it really surprises me that I am not into a band as iconic as The Beatles.

I own all of their music, and have been trying to listen to it for weeks in a vain attempt to fall in love with their music.... but I have only found maybe 10-12 tracks that I enjoy. The rest is MEH at best IMHO.

That said... the game looks incredible. I am a hardcore Harmonix/Rock Band fan, and am tempted to buy this game just to support them..... but I just don't think I will enjoy it at all!!! I considered buying it just for friends that come over and might want to play... but I dont think any of my friends like The Beatles either. =(

So... is there anyone out there that wasn't really into The Beatles' music but bought the game anyway and was SHOCKED by how much they enjoyed it???

Someone PLEASE give me an excuse to buy this game!

Get the game only. At worst, you can play the 10-12 songs you like. At best, you could become a Beatles fan.

I'm in the same boat as the OP, and I agree with this. Plus, this was pretty costly for HMX. I'm going to bite the bullet and support them on this because I don't want to see them take a huge loss on this and put future RB support or plans in jeopardy.

If you don't like the music, then I'd have to say no. It's only going to be Beatles songs.

this i agree with. i have tried and tried to like the beatles music they never did anything for me. though i have all dlc theres plenty of bands that i cant stand but the charts are amazing like the dead. so i got TB:RB and the charts look they might be fun but all the dreamscape stuff and extras and collecting photos has turned me off more ! so rent it ,see if you can get past the stuff. Its hard to see the highway which makes playing not very fun and then not liking the music doubles my pain with this game. Kudos to HMXthey did a great job with some of the features that should be put in to RB 3. The virtual Beatles though are more creepy looking then the creepy Kurt Cobain in GH 5 .



H 5 that i could of did with out.

I have to agree with most people here: if you don`t like the music you won`t like this game. I wasn`t a really big Beatles fan, but I always enjoyed their music. Now with this game I really got a better feeling of who the Beatles were, where they came from and how they developed to probably the most influential band of all time.

The songs are pretty easy but on guitar (and the latter drum songs) a lot of fun to play. But you really only have 45 songs that are pretty short, and if you don´t like to listen to them, and don`t care about experiencing the career of the Beatles than this game is not for you.

If you kinda like the music this is a great game that might get old a little faster than the normal RB game. I mean the Beatles were great with a lot of really cool songs, but I don`t think most people really need much more than 10-20 extra songs after they`ve bought this game, if they are not die hard fans. So I do expect this game to be on the shelves in a few weeks, and the RB2 disc back in the tray. But everytime I see it sitting there on the shelve I will be smiling ;-)
