The Beatles: Rock Band marks the first time that Apple Corps, along with EMI Music, Harrisongs Ltd, and Sony/ATV Music Publishing, has sat down and agreed to present The Beatles classic music in an interactive video game. That being said many have been crazy about this game ever since it was announced back at E3. The Beatles name carries a certain level of fanboyism that is well deserved after decades of number one hits and millions of fans, but do the millions of fans give this title enough to stand out in a crowded music simulation world?
"The rhythm action game is probably the best example of a genre which killed itself through market saturation. "
The Marb looks back on The Beatles: Rock Band and assess whether the rhythym action game did the legnedary band justice.
VGW's Brian Shea: "The notion of downloadable content is commonplace in today’s landscape of launch-day DLC and season passes, but prior to 2007, to have a legitimate, laid-out plan to support a console game post-launch was not a common occurrence. Harmonix, a company that was in the midst of a transition away from the most popular franchise in the industry at the time, Guitar Hero, had a vision for a brand new IP that would eventually revolutionize the concept of downloadable content."
We all do it – well those of us of legal drinking age; invite some friends around, have a few drinks and then break out the console to get our video game on. According to Craig Bryan; here is a list of the perfect alcoholic accompaniments for a night of fun and frolics.
playing games drunk is the worst thing ever, reactions are to slow and falling asleep and leaving your console on all night! wake up with 5000 messages, take away food all around you and feeling like poop looking at your online stats wondering how bad you played :( bad times
I'd mostly only bother with music and sports games , the rest not at all , besides indeed buzz
The Beatles do deserve their own game, this may not be for everyone though.
The Beatles rock Band will sell liek hotcakes because there are so many fans of the band that span a ton of different age groups. A lot of kids will probably be playing this with their parents.
Played it and was in love. I was skeptical about it at first. But after playing it, I have to say that this is a must have for any Rock Band fan.
The beatles there would be no rock band, I hope the younger generation at least recognizes that.
The Beatles Rock Band is currently blowing up on Twitter, seems to be trending as #2 right now, that is a good sign for the game itself.
