    Graphics are pretty important in this game because of the dreamscape. The WII version suffers in this department compared to ps3/360.

    Para ser rápido: sufría de lo mismo que el spin-off de Green Day, multiplicado por 5.

    The Beatles Rock Band is an amazing entry in the interactive music genre of games. They have many classic Beatles songs to play through with guitar, bass, vocals, or drums, and each of them holds their own joy to play. Watching the backgrounds and seeing how the Beatles interact with each other and witnessing their history unfold in front of you is something incredible.

    That being said, I do think the songs that are available become overplayed after about 4 hours of play, and the devs obviously favored Sgt. Pepper, which is by no means a bad album, but it feels a little lackluster having almost every Sgt. Pepper song available, but anywhere between 0-2 songs from other albums to play. And the DLC songs were plenty, but expensive and they dropped support for it after only a few short years. So people picking it up nowadays are forced to deal with the same boring songs.
    Overall, if you're a Beatles fan, pick it up and try it, but do so at your own risk.    … Expand

    For those who have a love or even just a fondness for the Fab Four, Harmonix has created a fantastic tribute. It won't teach you the full history of the world's most celebrated band nor give you even a quarter of their extraordinary catalogue of music, but it's still great.

    If you love, like, or are even lukewarm on the band, grab it. Playing through the songs you've likely heard for your entire life gives you a new appreciation for the level of musicianship and songwriting on display. Somehow, Harmonix found a way to make the greatest band of all time even better.

    The Beatles are worth every penny, especially for fans of the Fab Four. This game delivers one of the most phenomenal music experiences, outside of hopping into a time machine and watching them perform live, we're likely to see during this phase of our digital age.
