The Beatles Rock Band (Xbox 360)

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.

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.

I have had previous rockband games and seen as my other half loves the Beatles I recently purchased this. Its actually a really good game, and easy to use. It has loads of Beatles songs to choose from, some we'd never even heard.
