The New Beatles Edition of The Game Rock Band: An Old-School Fan’s Gripe

Allan Kozinn: “I just don’t get the music toy thing. I play an actual guitar, and when I’ve wanted to play a Beatles song I either learned it by listening carefully to the record or, in recent years, I’ve consulted The Beatles Scores … The idea of picking up a plastic guitar-shaped thing … and pressing buttons while a bunch of colored dots scroll down against the backdrop of cartoon Beatles, just doesn’t do it for me.”
