My son and all his friends will friggen love this. I am so serious. All the Lego related video games are a hit with the youngens. What I dig about it is the kids exposure to great music doing something they love vs. from their parents. I know I didn't want to listen to my parents music when I was a kid.

I do support this aspect of the whole thing. From what I know of these games like guitar hero and rock band , they tend to feature decent music - like the guitar hero Aerosmith, etc... so that's one good thing, getting kids to appreciate real rock. You'll never see "Rock Band: Jimmy Eat World" or "Guitar Hero: Creed" :lol:

Is this serious? The Beatles article posted here the other day claimed that Beatles Rock Band failed because there are already too many Rock Band/Guitar Hero games out there...

Yep, you can pre-order on Amazon. IMO, the Beatles rock band probably didn't do very well because how challenging could it be
