We finally cracked open our copy yesterday, and both immediately fell in love. The graphics are just beautiful. The gameplay is awesome, as you get to follow along with the history of the band. And the music is, of course, simply the best there ever was.
The most interesting part to me is the addition of harmonies, although it’s difficult to play. Otherwise, I’m doing pretty well with the vocals, due to a combination of my unfortunate tendency to sing male vocals better than female anyway, as well as the fact that I’ve been singing along with these songs for, well... we don’t need to go into exactly how long, now, do we?
EAToo is enjoying the drums as usual, and is more willing to sing than he normally is, because this time he knows all the words. We’re also both eager to try out the bass part — apparently, according to the difficulty levels, George Harrison was even more of a genius than either of us realized.
I’m also eager to get into the downloadable content. By the end of November, the remainder of Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band (my all-time favorite), will be available as DLC. DLC releases have tentatively been scheduled through the end of the year.
I’m planning to post a more detailed and technical review over at Suite101.com later today, and I’ll add the link to that when I do.
