Maybe people who were at a Beatles concert see the game and it looks just like they did in concert? Or it reminds them of 
"The Good ol days"?

I dont know i wasnt alive back then. 

There are two key features which allow Rock Band to deliver the so-called "Beatles experience."

1. The presentation, which captures the art and styles which The Beatles presented over their career. From the early years of respectable suits and black & white TV to the free love and flagrant use of colour of the late sixties. The Beatles epitomize an era of popular culture, and the game tries to replicate that era, not just drop a new set of songs into Rock Band.

2. A meatier feature: Three point vocal harmony. It takes more microphones to do it, but I understand this game goes beyond melodic singing and challenges players to harmonize their voices. It's critical to the sound of a lot of The Beatles' songs, and it hasn't been done in previous music games.

I havent played it so i cant speak to recreating th ebeatles experience.

But from what ive read and know of the beatles, it seems it does a good job of capturing how quickly they went from the Cavern in liverpool, and hopefully to clubs in hamburg where George was arrested for only being 17 and playing past curfew all the way to ed sullivan, the us tour, to japan and then australia and ending at shea and then apple all the while integrating never before heard sound snippets that will allow us to see the transformation of the band musically and personally.

So, for huge beatles fans liek myself, the songs alone are reason enough to freak out. But the info and story being crafted as you work from please, please me to help and onto rubber soul era songs where the beatles really shifted their art and taking it all the way to let it be on top of apple will be a neat journey and asthetically a fun experience to all of us who admire the beatles.

In short i guess, if you dont like the beatles enough to know more than a dozen songs you probably wont understand anyways.

They changed music.  It's impossible for The Beatles to be overrated, whether you like their music or not.

On topic, having just finished playing about half the game I think they did an EXCELLENT job of giving perspective on the entire Beatles career.  I've been listening to and playing Beatles songs since I was 8 years old (so thats 28 years now) and playing the game gave me a whole new appreciation for what they have created.  It's amazing how many times you can listen to a song and still find new things you never heard.   Playing along with the songs, while recreations of the venues are on the screen really gives you a sense of being transported back in time.

You can get a sense of all this watching the documentaries or reading the books, I have done both, but actually getting to play along and experience it for yourself is whole other deal.

I think the game is fabulous and it's obvious how much love went into making it.

It's the Beatles. People will go crazy , for good reason. Same as Singstar Queen. It's Queen. The fanatics of a football team would buy anything to do with Team Merchandise. You see where i'm getting at? Their response is their justification to others (Maybe themselves ) of purchasing said Merchandise.

I agree wholeheartedly. I have played the game and really enjoy it.

What makes it different from the Aerosmith and even RB and RB2 is - it's an experience. It allows gamers to be the 5th Beatle. Talking to one Beatle fan, he said the experience, overseen completely by Apple Corp., was engaging and made you feel like you are on stage with them.

Bottom line is - if you have RB or RB2, it's worth a rental. It's deeper than RB and offers an alternate view of Beatles history, without the bad mojo.

This is actually my only complaint. Pretending like all the bad shit didnt happen, and that they were best friends until the end is sort of lame and misleading.

Bands generally make their best albums when theyre at each others throats. SEE: White Album, Vitalogy by Pearl Jam, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot by Wilco.

Acting like they were all in harmony to create the most amazing songs is lame to me, even though im sure im going to love the game when i get it, im sure the beatles wouldnt have approved it if it were a true tale until the end as it would have ruined the image  95% of people have of the group.

I prefer they edit out some of the bad stuff. Including songs like Run For Your Life, even as DLC, is extremely poor taste. Giving the idealized version just makes more sense. The bad shit will be lost to time, and wouldn't be as fun.

Nothing special about it...just same ol' Rock Band fun!  I just bought it and played through every song with 5 stars...has a few tricky ones, but nothing too bad.  Well worth my $60....for anybody that enjoys Rock Band...and I do.  

Fanboys and girls.
