Join John, Paul, George and Ringo on-stage at legendary shows, behind closed doors in the recording studio, and in dreamscapes that bring the psychedelic imagery of the latter stage of their career to life. The acclaimed Rock Band elements of interactive play and full-band capacity are here as well, but with brand-new additions. One of these is full three-part harmonies, which challenge you to recreate The Beatles’ vocal blend — a first for any music game and facilitated by the game's support for up to three microphone controllers. In addition, the game supports custom-built controllers modeled after the actual instruments that the Fab Four played, and eventually helped to make iconic, audio straight from the masters and graphics that take you on a magical tour through the key moments in The Beatles history. Produced with the full cooperation of The Beatles and Apple Corps, the game is packed with hidden fab extras that will push you and up to five of your friends to master the songs both online and offline in order to hear rare audio and view unseen photos from the archives.

Great music, Simple game March 11, 2010
Bumblebug (Plainwell, MI USA)
Playing Beatles rockband has been quite a learning experiance. Not knowing to much about the beatles before its nice to hear all of their biggest songs and even the in game pictures and videos of them are really cool. The only down side is theres not much to do after you play the songs a couple times. One thing they did improve over the previous rockband games is the vocals are a lot EASIER and therefore much more fun.
Fun for the whole family February 12, 2010
R. Hallquist (New Holland, PA)
I bought this game because my kids wanted Rock Band 2, but I did not like all of the songs that are included with Rock Band 2 for their ages (8 and 10). I also did not want to spend a lot of money to see if they really liked it or not. Those of you with kids can understand how that goes.
Pros:
1. Sound. I have my XBOX connected to a 5.1 surround sound stero system using a digital optical cable and the sound is incredible. We could not hear the vocalist in the band at first, but that is easily solved by changing the options or even by using the controller during play (Hold the A button and use the direction pad left/right to raise and lower the vocalists volume). The drums can be a bit loud (the kit noise), but we just turned up the stero :) (Look out neighbors)
2. Fun. The kids love it and so do I. I wasn't sure that they would like the Beatles since they have never heard of them, but they want to play all hours of the day. I feel good knowing that the songs are family-friendly with few exceptions.
3. Difficuly. The different levels of difficulty make the experience enjoyable for everyone. I'm a horrible singer (think William Hung) but I can still keep the band from failing while singing on easy level and keep the family laughing as well. Also, my 8 year old can play both the guitar and drums on easy level and still have a great time. On hard and expert level, it is quite the challenge and makes it fun for me.
Cons:
1. The drum kit. The kit is wired and requires a USB port. This is a Rock Band 1 drum kit and not the wireless drum kit that comes with Rock Band 2. Overall though it seems to work fine. We will see how much abuse it takes. For the price though, does not seem that bad.
2. Did not have the advertised USB hub in the box. A simple call to EA solved the problem. They sent one out the very same day I contacted them. All I had to do was email them the Amazon receipt. You do not need the hub to play. The XBOX has 3 USB ports on it and we use the 2 on the front, one for the mic and one for the drums.
3. Can't play without the mic plugged in. For some reason the game won't play unless the mic is connected. Not a big deal, but we don't sing that much.
Overall:
We have a great time with the family playing the Beatles rock band. The kids like it so much that we are getting the Lego Rock Band as well.
 Your having fun now February 7, 2010
M. Lemiska (Laurence Harbor, NJ)
We loved this game for Christmas the whole family and everyone that dropped by just had to play. Just get an extra guitar because one is not enought. Your gona love this game. Only one thing you need live to get more songs but worth it.
Loved it! February 2, 2010
Heather M. Smith (Ohio)
Loved the game before, but now with all the instruments its just plain AWESOME! I have found some of the other Rockband Games and others like them less interesting because of the playlists, but this is more up my alley and that alone makes the game infinitely more playable.
