You get GHVH, and songs from WT and SH will transfer. Beatles are a good band, but they won't transfer to RB, so I'm going to boycot it. I love Rock band, but GH5 wins this round easily.

Activision just announced that anyone who buys Guitar Hero 5 in September will be able to get a free copy of Guitar Hero: Van Halen for free. F-R-E-E! Not only is it free, but, allegedly, you'll get it before the game hits retail shelves. Personally, I'm probably picking up both games; if I wasn't, this reduces my decision to nearly a coin flip. Well played Activision. Well played. Well all you Beatles Backers – Is sheer quantity enough to sway your decision?

Even though I love Rock Band (more than I love Guitar Hero, at least), I'd rather have a high amount of variety rather than an over-hyped "musical journey" through a bunch of songs I honestly never cared to listen to.

The mechanics of the gameplay for rockband has too many flaws. When guitar hero first came out, it was all about the guitar. Everybody wanted to play their favorite songs on guitar in a video game. When rockband came out it was about having an entire band and being able to play songs on other important instruments such as drums, and vocals. (bass was already in guitar hero) A lot of people complained that the guitar playing in rockband was not comparable to the guitar in guitar hero. This is why I liked guitar hero world tour better than rock band 2. The guitar is the key aspect of the game, even if the song list for one is better than the other. Therefore, I choose guitar hero 5 all the way as they have been consistent with the gameplay and since this is the 5th game, there is bound to be more great songs to play on guitar. guitar hero 5, easy decision.

I've rented GH:A, GH:WT, and GH:M and it's obvious that Neversoft doesn't care about gameplay, charting, or quality in any way. They simply want to shell out as many discs as possible to cash in on the Guitar Hero name (which HARMONIX built, you know). GH:M was ok, but was a victim to an incredibly narrow tracklist. There were maybe 2 songs that weren't metal? The new "features" in GH5 make me laugh. "Save a band member!" just like Rock Band did back in 2007. "Join in instantly!", but why would I want to do that? I could possibly see the desire to do so in a party setting, but never outside that. Then all the stupid extra modes that they added to please the hardcore GH fanboys... it's quite sad to me. The Beatles: Rock Band does little to "innovate" like GH is claiming they're doing, but they're perfecting the approach to a band-specific game. The ENTIRE setlist is The Beatles. Their name is on the front, right? So why would I want to play songs by some other bands? I don't. Anyways, looking at the Dreamscape sequences (particularly "I Am The Walrus") really shows the incredible level of detail Harmonix is going to for this game. Every single piece of the sequence has some significance to the Beatles, whether it is directly from the lyrics, or clever allusions to events in the history of the band. The whammies no longer affect the sound of the instrument (THANK GOD) and drum fills have been taken out in favor of a single green crash at the end of a measure. The art style is distinctly Beatles-esque, in the menus, on the characters, and even the track backgrounds. Throw in 3-part vocal harmony and tons of DLC after release, and it's a no-brainer which game I'm going to buy. I really hope Neversoft either learns their lesson and starts making great GH games, or just completely folds so they stop tainting the name Harmonix created. TB:RB without a doubt.

You get to play the GHWT and GHGH games in GH5 on release... The Beatles is... Well, The Beatles... So conclusion? BOTH. :D Or GH5 by a slim, slim margin.

I've played it already, and it is AMAZING! Not just a Beatles skin on the Rock Band engine. To all the people that pre-ordered already (as well as plan on picking it up once it comes out), you will NOT be disappointed!!! Definitely the Beatles: Rock Band.
