Review: Rockband, The Beatles
Taking into consideration how undeniably amazing the Beatles are, this game had a seriously high bar to reach from the getgo. Also taking into consideration how Harmonix (the creators of Rockband) was expected by myself as a gamer to reach said bar, I think they did a fairly decent job.
I only say fairly decent becuase there were several things that they really should have done. For one, I felt that they left out some really crucial songs. Blackbird was NOT included, neither were Across the Universe, Let It Be, or Eleanor Rigby! These are just a few songs that were not on the game. I’m not sure if you can purchase these songs online or whatever, but I still believe they should have been on it originally.
Other than the absence of those songs, the game really exceeded my expectations. As far as graphics, they were pretty spot on. They could have been a little sharper, but overrall they were acceptable. Another thing I thought was an awesome feature were the backgrounds. For instance, during the song I Am the Walrus, there’s a very entertaining music video-like thing going on. It’s really cool looking!
All in all, I’d tell anyone to buy it. It’s definitely worth the $59.99!
