The Beatles: Rock Band Most people who have lived in the 60s/70s era where The Beatles were making music and wowing the world will say that 'The Beatles were incredible for their time' and some may even prefer their music over most modern music these days. Despite their musical prowless, however, the band has mostly been left out in the cold when it comes to rhythm genre these days even with their intense guitar, drums and bass, as well as the fantastic vocal harmonies for some songs. However, to tie in with the release of all the remastered Beatles albums Harmonix has given music fans The Beatles: Rock Band. As The Beatles lends their music to the Rock Band ...  Read the complete review

So, doubtless looking for new ways to wring money out of their back catalogue, The Beatles have licensed some of their songs to Rock Band. In order to maximise everyone's profits, an entirely new game had to be developed - a prettier version of Rock Band 2 with extra bits, some limitations, and only 45 songs. The game is played in the same way as usual Rock Band games - you either play guitar or bass (using a guitar-shaped controller); drums (using a plastic drum kit); or you sing (using a microphone).

First things first though, this game is different to the Guitar Hero games as it is made by a different company who's games are called Rock Band. Personally, I don't think there is any real difference between the ...  Read the complete review

I'm going to be reviewing the game as the "band in a box" version that came with the "value" bundle (ie with the standard rock band controllers, not the fancy Beatles ones). I've been a fan of music/rhythm games for years, ever since Harmonix made Amplitude on the PS2 - a great, easy to pick up, hard to master game. I was never *too* sold on Guitar Hero and Rock Band, just because I couldn't see myself playing them on my own - whilst they're undisputedly great fun for parties. I also took issue with the pricing of Rock Band in the UK, making it almost twice as expensive as the same game in the states. This Christmas, however, ...  Read the complete review
