Play Beatles Rock Band

It seems to be a productive weekend for laying goals to rest! With a bit of set up guidance here, I managed to get everything up and charged and connected and running, and despite a battery mishap we had a fantastic time playing.

We rotated instruments with every song and need a bit more practice, but this was really, really entertaining. Isak standing in the middle of the living room, dancing back and forth belting out Lucy in the sky with diamonds was hilarious and sweet… I wish we hadn’t waited so long to try it.

I suspect next time we play it will be even better, since we won’t be trying to figure out how everything works. Great sound, unique, surreal graphics, definitely worth it, and we’ve just gotten our toes wet.

When I originally got the Wii (2 years ago now), it was primarily for fitness games and a few fun ones for Isak, but this was also included in the package, along with the accompanying instruments. Strangely we’ve never even plugged them in or loaded the disc.

I’ve never played any of the Rock Band games. I’ve read great reviews, and we all like the Beatles, so I’m dusting off the gear and we’re hoping to give this a shot sometime over the long weekend. We may have to draw straws for who gets to play Ringo.

^{Has anyone out there tried this one? Thoughts?}
