Posted September 12, 2009 (edited) This is the best Guitar Hero/Rock Band game ever. Fantastic playlist. Let's wait for the DLC for more awesomeness. Agreed. GH3 impressed me when it first came out, while World Tour felt a bit stale, plus I wasn't very keen on the drums. With this, I'm getting the same feeling I got when playing GH3, times a hundred, as I love The Beatles. To those of you who have doubts, buy it! This game is so addictive. I always say to myself "Just One more song" but I always end up playing 20 or so! If you don't have any instruments, I think the cheapest option is to buy the GH3 set at HMV for £30 or buy the original Rock Band Band in a Box for £35 at Smyths toy stores or £55 at Tesco. Regarding downloadable content, can't wait for Rubber Soul, Sgt Pepper and Abbey Road. I wonder if we'll be seeing any of the older albums? I doubt it somehow, but bet we'll get a selection of songs from them if that's the case. Help, Yesterday, Penny Lane, Magical Mystery Tour and Two of Us for me please!

Posted September 27, 2009 People who have this on the Wii, update your friend codes, would be good to get some score competition going Me and Welsh have had a couple of good games too!! Can't believe how unpopular this game is here!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 27, 2009 I;m really suprised the likes of help aren't on it.. I can kinda understand let it be,penny lane and some other piano based ones. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 23, 2009 £14.99 at HMV!!!! Link Also, I belive that the Abbey Road album is available to download now - will have a look over the weekend Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 7, 2009 Out of interest, whats the deal on the downloadable stuff on Beatles Rockband? Its is still solely Beatles songs, or can you access other music? If not, would I be able to use the Beatles Rockband instruments with either Rockband or Rockband 2 (to access the other music). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 7, 2009 JUST Beatles songs. And yes you can use the instruments on the other Rock Band games (but not guitar hero). GET IT though Dakota, its aweosme and want more people to play with, especially as Welsh doesn't play enough and tapdeck never plays... I will say though, that unless you want the beatles instruments (would completely understand if you would, they look awesome) I would get the band kit for guitar hero, as they work with everything. Then you could get Guitar Hero 5, Rock Band 2 and Beatles Rock band and download anything you wanted. Beatles rock band on wii is 15.99 most places too!! AND you get World Tour FREE with Guitar Hero 5 band kit PS Abbey Road is amazing DLC. You get it welshy!? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yep, I downloaded them all apart from Her Majesty and one other I couldn't afford last weekend. They are all great to play, especially the final medley, Maxwell Silver's Hammer and Oh Darling. If you've downloaded them too, we should have play an Abbey Road eveing sometime soon. Allready brought another points card for this months content too! Oh, and David, buy the love!

Posted November 7, 2009 Yeah i downloaded the lot. My favourite is Polythene Pam and She came in throught he bedroom window combo. Always been my favourite bridge between songs in music history and it's awesome to play. One thing I am devastated about though, is that we can't play the whole B side in one. Really frustrating. The only time it really bothers is for Her majesty though, as after the end, you expect that final chord (from mean mr mustard) to strike and then kick in. But the flow is gone and the song is so short... very upsetting... But anyways, awesome game. And revolver in a couple of weeks - wahoo!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 7, 2009 What are the online options? And whats the pricing like for DLC? And is it saved to system memory or SD? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 7, 2009 Online is awesome actually. You're pretty much perpetually online. Can play story, quick match, online duals and score battles... tracks all yours and your friends high scores brilliantly. So much so after every song, or story chapter or whatever, it tells you how you did compared to your friend. DLC is about 200 points per song. 2 song packs are 350 (I think) and can save to harddrive or direct to SD, up to you. Streaming from SD is perfect too.

Posted December 24, 2009 Picked up the vaule edition today for 50 shmackers - HMV is the place. Anyway, i'm loving it (although slightly disappointing its using WFC rather than EA Nation but hey, Jude, the rest of the package is super su-weet. A really special product. Excellent.

Posted December 31, 2009 I got Rock Band 2 over Christmas, I prefer it to GH, it just feels more 'right' and looks better. The DLC is superb and the difficulty levels are more balanced. On GHWT the difference between easy and medium is huge, easy is too easy and medium is a nightmare on tougher songs. RB2 is very balanced and I slightly prefer the set list.
