The Beatles: Rock Band (Wii, 2009)

One thing that bugs about the GH series is that each game has different game play. I usually play to 'pro battle', but lately the play is changing a lot. Beatles is geared towards band play, which isn't bad - but you can't go head to head and compare stats (except % and streak).

With that complaint out of the way, the game itself is really good. Good selection of songs (assuming you like the Beatles), nice added touches of lead-ins before most songs - and the graphics. Yeah! This is a great part of the game. They're something else. It's even sometimes tough to play the game since you're trying to follow what's going on around you (I am the Walrus was fun!)

I also found that many of the songs are more chord based, instead of solo based. This makes for a different feeling while playing. I play on hard level, and find that the chord changes are quite difficult on the harder songs.

If you're still reading, great - I'll cut it off here. If you like the Beatles music, cool graphics, different gameplay - this is a great game for you. If you like shredding the Van Halen and Ozzie tunes, then this might not be the game for you. It took me a while to warm up to it, but I am enjoying this game a lot now.
