The Game
Join John, Paul, George and Ringo on-stage at legendary shows, behind closed doors in the recording studio, and in dreamscapes that bring the psychedelic imagery of the latter stage of their career to life. The acclaimed Rock Band elements of interactive play and full-band capacity are here as well, but with brand-new additions. One of these is full three-part harmonies, which challenge you to recreate The Beatles’ vocal blend — a first for any music game and facilitated by the game's support for up to three microphone controllers. In addition, the game supports custom-built controllers modeled after the actual instruments that the Fab Four played, and eventually helped to make iconic, audio straight from the masters and graphics that take you on a magical tour through the key moments in The Beatles history. Produced with the full cooperation of The Beatles and Apple Corps, the game is packed with hidden fab extras that will push you and up to five of your friends to master the songs both online and offline in order to hear rare audio and view unseen photos from the archives.

The Song List
The Beatles were one of the most prolific bands of all time, churning out memorable hit after hit and this reflected in the song list of The Beatles: Rock Band.

Most fun game ever!!

Review Date: October 6, 2009

Reviewer: Rhonda Journeay, Fremont, CA

The legendary position the Beatles have in music history definitely carries over into the production and quality of this game. My husband and I were mesmerized by the obvious attention to details and art mastery that went into all of the graphic elements. Watching the intro alone is pure entertainment! I have never been a big Guitar Hero player, and this was my first foray into the full blown Rockband phenomenon. Well, now I know what all the fuss is about. I tried all of the instrument options, plus singing, and it was a blast!! The music sound is pure Beatles, and knowing most of the words and melodies to most of their songs makes the whole experience that much more fun. It definitely makes an evening with friends a whole new experience. I'm so glad I pre-ordered this game!!

Fun to play....

I've enjoyed this game. I've tried all three items - guitar, drums and the microphone. It's really fun to sing along with your favorite Beatle tunes. Very fun.

Reviewer: PSG,

This is our first music/musical instrument video game for the Sony PS3. My youngest requested it but I was surprised at how much everyone from 14 to 58 enjoyed the game. Make's you realize why the Beatles music can span so many generations. This is a participatory game unlike many of the others for the PS3 (unless of course you're into on-line play). Highly recommended. I'm looking forward to adding to the music and maybe getting a bass for a fourth player.

Amazing game
