    Picking up a Rock Band guitar, bass, drum sticks or microphone and "playing" along with Eight Days a Week, Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds, Something or Get Back is as close as many of us will ever get to stepping into the shoes of John, Paul, George or Ringo. Though short on customization and the story mode, The Beatles: Rock Band is high on style and substance making it a must-own product for The Beatles fans and a bold new direction for the Rock Band franchise that will...

    • Faithfully captures The Beatles experience, Animated montages and menus, Gotta love the songs, Three-part harmony introduction
    • Story mode goes too fast, Could have used a few more on-disc songs

    Further proof that you can have fun with a little help from your friends. Read more

    • Beautiful presentation; three-part harmonies are a blast; lots of extras; Beatle Beats are a fun challenge.
    • More songs would have been nice; if you're not a Beatles fan, this isn't the game for you.

    The Beatles: Rock Band is as much a documentary as it is a game. The Beatles’ venerable music catalog is a great compliment to the Rock Band formula. This game is successful in both drawing new players to the music game genre and exposing a new generation to the music of The Beatles. The lighter difficulty of the game might put off some of the more die-hard music game aficionados but it allows a little bit more attention to be paid to the story that is being told. Read more

    I can't tell you how excited I was when this was released! I was raised listening to the The Beatles. My Dad especially was really into this band. I remember Sunday afternoons, he would play his Beatles Records and sing along, and try to get us kids to sing along too! To this day I still remember the Album cover with a picture taken from below looking at the band looking down from a stairwell. Read more

    Looking at Beatles Rock Band, I have to say it makes me excited to see a Rock Band 3 as there is some nice tweaking of the Rock Band engine to allow for harmonies, and the scrolling of song words had been greatly improved. Sadly with this game being a very linier journey though Beatles history, a lot of the fun of normal Rock Band has been lost. I would really only recommend this to people that see themselves as die-hard Beatles fans... Read more
