I believe The Beatles: Rock Band came the closest to being perfect. Eveything about that game was just beautifully done and the only things missing was Pro Drums, an option for Keys, and a few more Beatle songs (Hey Jude, Strawberry Fields Forever, Yesterday etc. etc.)


I hope someday I’ll have forgotten enough to enjoy another playthrough.
I’ve always enjoyed dithered graphics, but actual 1-bit color used so effectively in an atmospheric 3D game is an amazing achievement by any measure.
