Long description
One of gaming’s premier music titles joins forces with the most famous band in history in this rhythm title packed with classic Beatles hits.
Games such as Guitar Hero - Metallica and Guitar Hero - Aerosmith have proven the appeal of focusing on just one classic musical act, but few could argue The Beatles are the ultimate addition to the musical gaming landscape, with countless classic tracks in their back catalogue and an appeal that stretches across generations.
Rather than simply paste The Beatles’ songs onto the Rock Band template, The Beatles - Rock Band moves players through the best moments of The Beatles career, each highlighted by a selection of Beatles tracks, as well as the fashion style of the time. The Beatles - Rock Band is also the first Rock Band title to offer harmonies, allowing players to match vocals as they play. The standard Rock Band instruments typically on offer have also been replaced with detailed replicas of the band’s iconic guitars and drums.
It’s been a long wait, but the world’s favourite boy band has finally made its way into the rhythm game world with a bang.
