Just a little in advance of the game’s official release today, the New York Times published their review of The Beatles:  Rock Band.  They freakin’ loved it.  In the words of Seth Schiesel, “it may be the most important video game yet made.”  (Apparently Schiesel never played Lesiure Suit Larry.)

In particular, the Times loved the way the game is not only enjoyable, but the way is has “intergenerational cultural resonance.”  (Traslation:  Old people and young people will like it.)  While the game follows the traditional Rock Band structure (players simulating instrument playing and singing), The Beatles:  Rock Band brings rich “psychedelic dreamscapes” and of course the incredible Beatles music.  If you were thinking about picking up a copy of The Beatles:  Rock Band, this new review should put you over the top.  With the software-only version starting at $53.99 on Amazon, how could you resist?

But if you still aren’t sure, check out the trailer.
