Beatles Rock Band is out....anyone buy it or plan to buy it?

[ryne candy]

I'm just wondering because I picked it up from Microcenter for $40 this morning. I had no intention to buy it so soon but for the price I purchased it on the spot. I haven't even repurchased a 360 and it might not be till Xmas before I get one. Still debating whether or not to keep it (I'm 55/45 on keeping it)....I got it because I knew it would sell out for that price later today.

i would buy it but theyre not selling McCartney's bass separetely

Got it, beat it...it's Rock Band with a Beatles theme, obv. I don't really like the Beatles, but it's a good game if you like the genre.

I would say...anyone that is into difficult stuff, look elsewhere. I beat it all on Expert with 5* on the first try for every song but "Revolution".

Not picking it up. Looks way to easy and I have no intrest in the beatles.

Think I am going to return it tomorrow only because I found out that Toys R Us is going to have DS' Scribblenauts for $29 and a $15 gift card with purchase. My fiancee likes that kind of game (thinking games...haha) and it would give me a total of $45 in TRU gift cards toward NBA 2K10. $15 for NBA 2K10 FTW!!!!

:elephant:

i rented it just to check it out. Not a beatles fan.....songs are way short and there is only 45 of them. the songs are easy too. This game is great for people who arent very good (like me) so you can play on hard level and do very well.

the story mode is awesome and the pics u unlock are cool to see and read too. i am at abbey road and seeing the cool themes they put them in. Thats cool to watch too

I don't get how people can kill it on expert. I can play everything on medium on the GH and RBs and a little bit on hard, but how the hell do people do shit like that?

I used to be able to do the same, but then I stopped playing for like a week, and when I picked it up again I could play expert and not fail. Eventually I got into the mid-high 90s on every song on expert but I never was able to 100% any song.

That was like 2 or 3 years ago though and I can maybe play hard now since I play maybe once a month.

I took advantage of some of the sales and picked up Rock Band 2. I'd rather have the variety for now with the cheaper instruments. Later on I can buy the game separate and it'll still be cheaper than getting the whole thing.

i can sing and drum on expert for most songs, but when it comes to guitar/bass i can't go beyond medium.

i smell like cabbage i guess

i am kind of screwed with these sales. I need a new guitar cause im using the GH 3 les paul. It works, but its not as responsive as it used to be. I see the RB 2 full game is on sale for 99 bucks, but the guitar alone is 65. I cant see buying the $99 full kit when i already have the game and have no interest in the drums

but i also wont spend $65 on the guitar since its totally not worth it when the full kit is on sale for 99

im screwed!

On a related note, I've come to the conclusion I won't play it much, if anyone wants it, 40$ or a suitable trade and it's yours. 360 version.

 

[Twigg4075]

I got it. But I buy everything and I'm a sucker for music games. Plus I basically got it for $45 with the Buy 1 get 1 50% deal from Best Buy a few weeks ago.

45 songs is pretty much bullshit though for anyone is a bit more frugal with their cash. Not to mention they are gouging you for DLC day one. Crock of shit if you ask me.

I just rented this Saturday and I'm really enjoying it. Not too sure if it will be worth a purchase for the limited number of tracks in comparison to the other games, but I can see how Beatles nuts would love the hell out of this game.

 

[IamMedellin]

i"ll rent it....and buy mcCartney's bass when its like $10 at EB

 

[Youk]

I see it on ebay new for about $45, so I'm debating it.

The game is definitely over hyped, but thats just because the game had potential to be so much better then it turned out to be. Its good for what it is but they should of just pushed the release date back a year or so and make the game truly great.

I rented it and played through it. I made the mistake of assuming that it was going to continue on after 1969 and I'd get to play some John Lennon songs....I was wrong...

Basically if your buying this for just to play songs and thats it you shouldn't have bought it.

Its straight up for people that are fans of the beatles and people that have enjoyed their music in the past. The story mode has so much more then just play this song and get the next song and if thats what you wanted you shouldn't of bought this day 1.

This is why I won't buy it due to the fact it looks really easy and I don't like the beatles. For people that are fans though they will enjoy this. There's so many little extra's that went into it, if you missed them then you missed the point of the game.

I wish harmonix would of done the Metallica one now. It pissed me off how awesome the beatles game is compared to other band only games that activision has put out.

 

[Maynard]

Yep.....its great if your a beatles fan, which i am not and that is why i didnt finish the game before returning it. I found myself falling asleep the other night while trying to play this game. BORING....the songs that is. But the design of the game and all the interesting facts and photos were cool. I also like how they did the story mode and how it followed their actual career.
