The Beatles: Rock Band opening cinematic is a trip, daddio.
There’s no way around it; Rock Band’s cool. Getting together with some friends on a random evening and banging away on our toy plastic instruments is a pleasure that transcends guilty. But beyond an awesome gaming experience, one thing Rock Band has always done well is the opening cinematic, and it seems The Beatles: Rock Band is not only carrying on that tradition, but taking it to a whole new level. Check the video above to see what I mean, or see the original here.
I have only 2 questions for you:
1) Is that not the coolest opening animation for a video game you’ve seen in a REALLY long time?
2) Does it kinda feel like they’re channeling the Monkees more than the Beatles?

Forget Beatles Rockband, I wanna game in that Daliesque world at the end of the trailer. 🙂
1) Yes indeed, daddy-o!
2) Not The Monkees — A Hard Day’s Night
And I totally agree with Doug. I don’t even care about the story, side quests, or hours of challenging gameplay. A game centred entirely around trying to balance your character on the back of a giant blue elephant? I whole-heartedly cry out, “YES! It’s about freakin’ time!”
