I'VE GOT BLISTAHS ON MAH FINGAHS!!!

Ringo Starr's famous line after he broke down at the end of "Helter Skelter" for doing it for the eighteenth take. Hey, he did one version that lasted 27 minutes , I think he has a right to screech it out.

Anyways...I've finally got and blew threw The Beatles: Rock Band today in one sitting on my little white box(lalala, my Wii), it took me an hour or two to do so and now fingers kinda hurt(I know, its a plastic guitar. Your fingers do cramp after a long session) . I have no life ._.

Anyways, so worth the wait and the sixty bucks. It only depends if you like The Beatles or you just play for the challenge. If you love 'em, your gonna get alot of replay value. For the people that play Judas Priest's "Painkiller", Abnormality's "Visions", Dream Theater's "Panic Attack", and/or Metallica's "Battery" on a daily basis on Expert guitar or drums, stay away due too its simplicity. Your not gonna get much of a challenge.

Also, despite its shortness of some of the songs, the dreamscapes, the audiences reactions, and the unheard band chatter between the loading screens are a plus. However it really shines in the dremscapes. When you play "Within You Without You / Tomorrow Never Knows", you get a really hella psychedelic background which is cool to look at, "I Am the Walrus" is a nice reference to the Magic Mystery Tour film, and "Here Comes the Sun" is just a relaxing venue with sun(obviously) and the band calmly playing at a hillside. I give Harmonix five out of five Batman's for this.

Somewhere, the late John Lennon and George Harrison are looking at the game either up or down(how should I know?) and probably have some relief that their likeness isn't in Guitar Hero while as Kurt Cobain is rolling over in his brunt ashes because he's now a corporate slut pansy being used in Guitar Hero 5 that he despised very much. Rant about his likeness in it soon.

And this is why...



It captures the truth about Guitar Hero and that is THEY DON'T GIVE A SHIT. They make games for profit. Just look at Guitar Hero: Aerosmith, Metallica, and Van Halen. They could do so much better but instead give us a half assed titles with 28 songs by the original artist. Thank you Harmonix, for caring.

Ye shall have my money forked over to you when it comes to music games.
