Rock Band: Beatles

Ah, what to say about this besides it ROCKS?
Harmonix did a fantastic job on this: from the cartoony aspect of the Beatles to the real pictures along with text of the band. The capturing of the screaming fans in Shea stadium. The way the band holds the guitars and the mannerisms in the way they sing.
Yes, Harmonix, you captured the essence of the band.
The music is fantastic also.
The only complaint: The band had 2 guitarists. Why can't you choose what you want to play? Example: if I don't have a drummer, why can't I have 2 guitar players and a bass? Heck, you're allowing for 3 mics to be hooked up, why not 3 guitars?
Yes, screen real estate does come into play, but you could put the limit on there: either 2 guitars and 1 bass, or 1 guitar 1 bass and 1 drums.

Other than that, this is loads of fun. I plan on playing these songs on all instruments along with vocals.
If you're an old guy (or girl) like us, you would love this game!
