    To a certain extent, this game is great because Beatles music is great. The Beatles: Rock Band is packed to the gills with excellent songs, but its real genius is the way it captures the excitement of playing in a cohesive band. Following the arc of the Beatles' career wouldn't be as engaging without the interesting bonuses and the stunning art design that so elegantly complements the music. Read more

    • Beautifully intertwines music with art design, Vocal harmonies add an exciting dimension to gameplay, Playing an instrument and singing at the same time is incredibly ...
    • Lots of great Beatles songs aren't included, No drum fills or end-of-song jam sessions.

    The Beatles require no introduction, other than to say that they're the most important band of all time. That pretty much puts them at the top of the list of bands that deserve a videogame, so it's fitting and fortunate that they would receive a tribute as loving and reverent as The Beatles: Rock Band . James Hetfield should be on the phone to Activision right now, asking why Metallica's game has nothing on this one. Read more
