Which Rock Band spinoff is the best?

[hiimSMAP]

Beatles > Blitz > Lego > everything else

Well I did say kinda of :P Meaning not completely :P And yes did avoid some of their hits not all of them, but if you know The Beatles what comes to mind is: "Love Me Do", "Yesterday", "Let It Be", "Eleanor Rigby", "Hey Jude". You can possibly tell me that those are hits they did avoid :P

Amazingly, almost every song that I think of when I think of the Beatles came out either with the game, or as DLC. The songs you listed are good as well, but the Beatles had an amazing amount of music. I mean, the game did have: "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band"/"With a Little Help from My Friends", "Come Togeather", "While My Guitar Gently Weeps", "I Me Mine", "Twist and Shout", "Paperback Writer", "Day Tripper" , "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds", and "Yellow Submarine". All of which are just as easily associated with The Beatles.

I'm surprised that anyone has voted for Blitz. The best RB spinoff? Really??? I was unimpressed when I first tried it and then briefly addicted to it before suddenly becoming indifferent without really noticing (probably because I'm not particular good at it and wasn't improving very quickly). I don't think that I've played it in the last couple of weeks.

I am also shocked that people voted for the only console release with unique gameplay.


Wait, no I'm not.

Who knows, but if HMX decides to do what they're doing with GDRB for TBRB then you may see in RB3.

>implying it's Harmonix's call on The Beatles

"Unique" is an adjective which does not even vaguely imply "good", "interesting" or "fun" . I actually believe that Blitz is, to some extent, all of those things, I just don't see how anyone could think that it was the "best" RB spinoff, given the competition. It's all subjective; it is beating out GDRB in the polls.

The Beatles: Rock Band was just so artistically extraordinary. The music (of course), the stage design, the unlockables,... it really is the most perfect expression of a traditional instrument-based game that we've seen to date. This assumes you enjoy The Beatles enough to play a game featuring only their music. I've been a Beatles fan my whole life, yet still gained a whole new appreciation of their music from the game. I really wish the genre would sustain this treatment for multiple bands, as there are several bands I'd like to see get a a fully immersive game like TBRB.

Green Day was is a similar vein, but not quite as special. Still a very good game. I loved the LEGO game's style and creativity. I really wish Rock Band proper would put out a game with that sort of customization and the unlockable "backstage" decorating aspect. Blitz really is in a separate category from the instrument games. I can see why people would vote it as the best spinoff. The game style is different from RB, yet almost all of the same songs from your RB collection are available.

I like The Beatles:RB best by a long shot, but I could understand arguments for LEGO or Blitz being the best. Voting Green Day:RB ahead of TBRB comes down to whether or not you like GD's music better. Hard to argue that the game is better.

Nah I'm pretty sure we won't see TBRB in RB3 :/ HMX wanted to make the songs "iconic" and separate them from other songs.

I think that it more has to do with what the rights holders want.

The Beatles, for certain. The introduction of harmonies and the dreamscape venues are undeniably charming.

Lego would be a *much* closer second were it not for the unfortunate loading times. As is, the song list is enjoyable, the Rock Power Challenges are hilarious, and band leader functionality is something the other games really need at this point.

Rock Band Blitz is also tons of fun, although it's killing my thumbs at this point.

GD:RB is too much Green Day (hush, dragoninforcer), but it's an enjoyable game nonetheless. ...one I haven't finished yet.

I love Unplugged and I enjoyed the iOS ports, but I don't know how I can rank them amongst the console entries.

Beatles Lego tie.
