Amazon.co.uk Review

The biggest band in the history of music is making their video game debut exclusively via Rock Band. Made with the full backing of the surviving Beatles, and the families of Lennon and Harrison, this is no expansion pack but a full-bloodied standalone game filled with special features.

Every era and song is covered, from 1960 onwards
Work through the Story mode and unlock exclusive content
Even the likenesses have been authorised by the band
The gameplay works just the same as regular Rock Band

Featuring an interactive voyage through The Beatles' career, the game includes not just their most memorable songs but also venues such as The Cavern Club, Abbey Road Studios and surreal dreamscape settings.

The basic gameplay is similar to Rock Band 2, with players able to play along as virtual band members on either guitar, vocals (including harmonies for the first time) or drums. Do well and you can unlock video and audio clips - some of which have never been released before in any other medium. For any Beatles fan this is the most exciting new experience to arrive in decades.

Key Features
  • 100% official: The one and only video game to feature The Beatles and created with input from the band and surviving family members such as Dhani Harrison.
  • Classic 45s: Includes 45 master recordings from the entirety of the band's career, from I Want to Hold Your Hand to Here Comes the Sun.
  • All sing together: For the first time in a Rock Band game up to three people can sing vocal harmonies together, if you dare!
  • Beat the Beatles: As well as the main story/career mode you can also play any of the songs in competitive modes such as Tug of War and Score Duel.
  • Period graphics: Stunning visuals recreate the band in all their many guises, as well as authentic venues and psychedelic new dreamscape stages.
About the Developer: Harmonix
For years this U.S. developer toiled away in obscurity, with critically acclaimed but commercially unsuccessful music games such as Frequency and Amplitude. Then they made Guitar Hero and the rest was history. They were bought by MTV Studios in 2006, when they started work on Rock Band.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Console game ever?, 10 Sep 2009
By C. Ashcroft - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
I have finally taken delivery of the limited edition of this game and have to say that it is absolutely stunning. The gameplay and particularly the attention to detail is second to none.

Securing the Beatles franchise is the biggest prize in the music video game genre and the Rock Band people have certainly made sure that the game credits the legend.

The instruments supplied (Hofner Violin Bass and Ludwig drums) are beautifully detailed, particularly the guitar and are solid and well constructed. The drums have been 'enthusiastically' tested by my seven year old and have stood up to the battering admirably.

One word of warning would be that to play three instruments together - guitar, drums and microphone (or another guitar), you will need to install a USB hub onto the PS3. I thought that the USB connections on the guitars 'dongle' (their word not mine) would allow the microphone to be played through it but this didn't work so we had to get a hub before we could all play together. That's a minor complaint really and only a complaint that it is not readily advertised or mentioned in the manual.

The game itself is really good fun to play for kids and adults alike. My ten, seven and four year old have not been off it since it arrived and it is only when they have gone to bed that I get a go! It is real testimony, if testimony were needed, of the quality and appeal of the Beatles music that it is being celebrated by children and adults alike, forty years after they have stopped making music. I think that because all of the songs are so familiar, it increases the enjoyment of the game-one bugbear I have with the other games in this and the Guitar Hero franchise is that you may only choose six out of forty songs that you like/enjoy/can stand that you want to play. This isn't the case here, all of the songs present their own challenges and are enjoyable to listen to as well as play. I defy anybody to stand up with the guitar and not have their foot tapping along at the same time.

The available song lists did strike me as being a little short but when there is a back catalogue such as this available, it is inevitable that there is going to be big business to be made from purchasing songs from the online shop, not a criticism as such, it adds more depth to the game and, in fact, I'm just off to go and see whats available!

5.0 out of 5 stars I wanna hold your hand..., 6 Sep 2009
By M. Owens (Liverpool, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
In a real sense, debating the "fun" of The Beatles: Rock Band is a worthless exercise. As with other Rock Band games, how much fun you're having is directly proportionate to how much you enjoy the songs, and though you're absolutely entitled not to like The Beatles, it's pretty clear at this point in history that you'd be in the minority.

So, you'll find me talking largely in terms of presentation for this review, since (a) that's really the meat of what you're buying here and (b) it's absolutely, jaw-droppingly, top-to-bottom stunning.

Though the basic guts of a Rock Band game are here, the experience they've been embedded into feels like no other rhythm game. Sonically, it's flawless, and it's so visually refined that every other music game before it (and likely quite a few after it) is going to look amateurish by comparison.

Every song in The Beatles: Rock Band has gotten it's own visual feel, from the more literal but painstakingly recreated performances on The Ed Sullivan Show and in the Cavern Club to the much more ethereal Abbey Road sessions that blend the band playing in the studio with trippy visuals inspired by the tunes' psychedelic overtones. Even the note buttons (the same color pattern, but with a slightly washed-out tone) are classy.

Beyond the look, each song is buffered with sounds of the band warming up or ad-libbing, giving a real sense of authenticity to each performance, and many of the songs are counted in by Lennon or McCartney.

The extras thrown in to pad the experience, like rare still images and video clips, are a treat even for semi-fans, offering a completely humanizing look that's a nice counterbalance to the nigh-deification going on elsewhere in the title.

The attention to detail extends to the game's instruments, which look gorgeous and play exactly how you'd expect. Me, I'm always going to prefer the Guitar Hero click strum bar to the Rock Band squish, but if you can get past that, it's a really lovely instrument. The totally extraneous, but utterly charming faux bass drum you've probably spied in pictures is the perfect representation of what an exquisitely detailed project this is.

The overwhelming sense that washed over me was that I was taking part in the very first gaming documentary; a band's career told not solely with words or images, but with an interactive soundtrack.

The slavish attention to detail (and the choice to set the game's songs chronologically) does present a few challenges, namely, in the last fourth of the game, which takes a decidedly down-tempo turn and just isn't as fun to play as the rest. It may seem like I'm contradicting what I said earlier -- i.e., the fun equals how much you enjoy the tunes -- but my complaint is more about structure than the individual songs. In this same vein, I could have lived forever and ever and not played the last three minutes of "I Want You (She's So Heavy)." I literally had to will my fingers to stay on the frets.

Again, if that's your very favorite Beatles song, there's every chance you'll be transported, but I'd already been ground down by too many late-game plodders to work up much enthusiasm.

The worst complaint you can level against The Beatles: Rock Band is that the end of the foursome's career together doesn't make for a very good ending to a game, which, when I put it that way, is almost ridiculous enough to send my pinky hammering on the Backspace key. This is a gorgeous labor of love that will almost certainly change the level of polish people demand from their music games, and one that -- in perhaps the most telling compliment I can offer -- completely lives up to its inspiration.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Beatles in an entirely new way, 10 Sep 2009
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
I have been a massive fan of the Beatles since I found the white album in my dad's vinyl collection. And since then I have gone through phases of discovery and boredom and then re-discovery. Beatles rock band is a great way to re discover the Beatles.

Though I am not a novice to rock band I am to rock band's high quality of peripherals being one who was weary after having started on guitar hero.

The box is huge. And when you open it, it is very smartly packaged: the mike stand in a box of its own, the drum stand and sticks in a tube of their own ect. The Paul McCartney Hofner bass is very well made. I also bought the other exclusive Beatles guitars that are sold separately which are of the same brilliant quality. The Hofner bass looks very nice and though when inspected close(some slight moulding marks etc) looks amazing and is a cut above guitar hero and other similar peripherals. The action is great and makes playing a lot easier and less painful over long periods of time. Plus there is no annoying clicking like with the guitar hero guitars.

The drum wasn't quite as impressive though not a huge disappointment. The front Beatles sign is just a piece of canvas. The drums just aren't as impressive but there is nothing wrong with them and the drum sticks seem to be real ones. The mike stand is of a high quality, like a budget real one and the mike is nice as well.

Now the game. I have to admit I haven't completed the game but what I have played is very good. There is an intro movie which I loved, cartooney with the Beatles looking almost like drawn for a western style anime. The career is brilliant with authentic movies showing the progression of the fab fours' career in a cartoon/moving still photographs style. Hard to explain but it works. There is chatter and band noises that also make it authentic like the intro of get back with McCartney and Lennon practising and Harrison sliding on the guitar before the song even starts.

I read a review before this that said the game was easier than other rock bands and to be honest it is. To get any sort of challenge in the game ( for guitar that is as I struggle with drums) I need to play it on the hard setting.

There are unlockables which if you are a Beatles fan like my self you will play songs again and again to get all the photos to then unlock the movies which I really like as in the normal rock bands and guitar heroes, besides the songs, I didn't care much for a t-shirt with some logo on as an unlockable.

Now one thing must be said despite the songs you have to pay for and download all the songs in the game are available straight away in quickplay unlike previous rock bands. Nothing here really to dislike, it just was a surprise as normally before I can play quickplay with my friends, I need to do some on the career mode to get a decent song collection. In this game that is not the case.

So the final say is this has all the quality of rock band and all the brilliance of the Beatles and for me it gets five stars. How ever I personally don't see how any one but a Beatles fan is going to find this game a long and enjoyable experience. This might seem like an obvious thing to says but this bundle is not cheap and unlike Guitar Hero Metallica which has songs by other bands, this only has the beatles. If you don't like the Beatles, don't get this. If you sort of like the Beatles get the budget version or the solus and use old peripherals or the cheap normal ones. If you love the beatles then buy it. Like me.
