As a singer, I really really dig the 3 part harmony!

The charts are harder than I expected, though expert RB/GH players will probably roll right through them. But this game was for the mainstream anyway, including all the beatles fans that probably have never even played a music game before.

Oh, and if you haven't seen the cool intro movie:

We're getting it on Launch. My wife wants the instruments but I already have 3 guitars and a set of drums.

Fantastic Trailer!!!!!!

Well done!

These 4 long haired mop heads will never make it...

Doom878

Moog-Type-S

Pretty good trailer..

Is it out already??

Doom878

It comes out 9/9/09

www.rockband.com and educate yourself. BTW, Guitar Hero World Tour sucks as you posted on the other thread.

Moog-Type-S

Word on the street is that a "new" Beatles song will be a part of the game/release.

Ala Free as a Bird and Real Love from the Anthology releases.....and reworked Lennon Demo.

Whiskers

I wonder if John Lennon is kicking Michael Jackson's ass in the afterlife...

Moog-Type-S

cage-match?

Doom878

In case you didn't know the demos are set up in some Best Buys, Blockbusters, or Gamestops. I was going to check last night but lightning FTL.

If you don't plan on buying the full albums that are downloadable, Gamestop is giving 3 songs (not yet named) to download for free with pre-order.

ChodTheWacko

They have announced the entire set list except for one song, and I was thinking it would be brilliant if it's some previously unreleased song. You can almost see fanatics buying the game just to hear it.

For those who want to get into this but have no instruments and don't want to shell out $250 for the set, you can get the Value Edition through Amazon for $140 shipped. It's the game, Rock Band 1 drums, guitar, and mic.

JediMindTricks

saw some guys playing this at best buy.

makes me wanna get a rock band game for the first time.

Doom878

Oh you'll be hooked. Try it next time on easy and if you get the timing down it's over.

Doom878

So who wants to pick me up a copy at Micro Center for $40.

Doom878

Ok just rented a copy from Blockbuster.

Played the demo. Can't Buy Me Love has a sort of tricky drum beat. Daytrippers was a little simpler except for the fast blue notes.

ChodTheWacko

reminded me a lot of 'Spirit In The Sky' actually

Beatles drums is a lot easier then Rock band 2 drums, looks like. I'm looking to get a microphone stand and do voxdrums. (Headset doesn't work!!!! sucks)

It does look good, but I was never a big beatles fan.

Is Norwegian Wood on it?

Whiskers

Think the wife is "surprising" me with it...Hope it's good for the Wii. Love the Fab 4...

Doom878

Spirit is easier because it's kick first rather than last for the pattern.

No

Enjoy. I got in a couple of hours and the presentation is fantastic. My wife was in heaven as she's a Beatles fan. All the added features from RB2 are awesome like score tracking, real time leaderboard tracking, unpause 3 second delay (thank God).

Sarlacc

No Norwegian wood kills it for me.

Gonna have to pass.

I was reading a review that guitar hero 5 was MUCH improved over the last few in the series.

Doom878

"Wood" comes in December

GH5 has been on sale as low as $45 I think. That plus free Van Halen is a good deal as the engine is vastly improved.

JediMindTricks

i got this version from blockbuster (on sale for $90). it's not the version with the hofner and the drumset that has the beatles logo on it.

what's the difference between the rock band 1 and 2 drums/guitar/mic?

been playing a lot of this last week when friends were over. it's a lot of fun. i've liked their music but don't know a whole lot about them and the band's history. so i'm not a really big beatles fan, i guess.

but the game is really fun to play. we've barely played the rock band 2 game.

will be downloading the rest of the DLC.

Doom878

Rock Band 1 drums are wired while the RB2 are wireless. The RB2 are quieter too. Flip over your drums and tell me if you see a serial starting with EL, SL, or QM. EL has the worst sensitivity while the others are more sensitive. You can buy pads to quiet them down.

I think the mics are the same and I hear the guitar is better for RB2. However I never got those instruments as I have aftermarket and Beatles guitar.

JediMindTricks

oh.

damnit.

a wireless drumset would be really convenient...

no wonder it's called the "special value" edition. oh well. it was only $90.

Doom878

Look for a rb2 set. Theyve gone down in price

JediMindTricks

so i'd just sell my drumset on, say, ebay and buy a rb2 drumset?

Doom878

Go for it!
