Rock Band:The Beatles

Post by Bob Garage »

Interesting, not my cup of tea, but seems like a big coup to get the beatles on board.

Just seen an announcement by Ringo, Paul and yoko on xbox.com

Just Rock Band trying to keep up with Guitar Hero. GH has Aerosmith and Metallica, Rock Band has ACDC and the Beatles...interesting to see the bands that get games and what "side" they go to.

nice.


Wish they'd do a slayer one. I read an interview with one of the GH:Metallica developers that the hardest thing about getting slayer on the game was finding a song that wouldn't offend to many parents. I say sod it. shove an 18 certificate on it and produce a slayer game!

I'm tempted in getting the AC/DC game, but I'm really a Guitar Hero fan, not a fan of rock band.

Bob Garage, the problem with that is that they're losing out on a huge fanbase if they make it 18+, at least with Metallica. I'm sure that a Slayer game would probably have to be rated M.

And I pretty much love RB and hate GH, but I got GH:Metallica and I see that they've been improving a lot lately, so I'm happy about that.

Rock band is pretty good, they have some stuff they do that I wish GH would do. They had that rock ending section which is cool and they also have solo sections which is great as well. GH Metallica also ripped of the bit in the vocals where it says awesome or sloppy etc, Rock band had that first. And RB has way more stuff to download, that is the one thing that lets GH down not wnough stuff to download. And where GH doesn't incorapate any stuff you have downloaded into the gamer RB does. GH visuals are way better though, it is a better looking game altogether. RB is better on the drums though, its has more of a rythmn thing with the drums whereas on GH sometimes it feels like you are just hitting random colours.

They are both good but for different reason
