I won’t be the first person to pretend deny that I don’t like the Beatles. But to kill MJ to save some money is ridiculous. We all know that Michael owned the rights to the Beatles but no one is stopping to think that it is rather convenient that he died and two months later and multiple Beatles recordings are released as well as the rock band series that you’re looking at today. According to the investigative report there is much speculation to how one of the remaining Beatles and a major company has released these songs in new format for resale. When someone dies, who is to gain? Pay attention to the timeline, stop living a lie. If you agree rate this comment FIVE STARS! Search YouTube with key words (MJ, owned, Beatles)if you want to know the truth! RIP MJ… Let it be; I never will.

Or you could just buy a real instrument, get some sheet music, take some lessons and play the real thing. If John Lennon saw this he’d say what a bunch of wankers you are for playing this– it’s just one notch above air guitar. You’ll never get “Blisters on your fingers!”

I dont actually own, nor have I played this game but that doesnt seem to matter much on Amazon. Im basing this review on the Beatles as a band. The Beatles have been ripping off other artists for years. They sound like Jet and E.L.O and the way their always running around is a total rip off of The Monkeys. Their one guitar player is a total rip off of that guy in The Traveling Wilbury’s. So many of the songs listed have been stolen from the Across the Universe soundtrack….its pathetic. I wouldnt spend any money on this and would advise all to avoid it like the plague. Stick with original artists like Nickelback and Disturbed.

Being a musician myself i’m just not really into the whole rock band video game thing, or guitar hero(anymore) for that matter, was fun for a while now they just take it to far. I mean alll these bands making rb and gh is just getting overkill. But onto the Beatles, well my dad is a music major and was a teacher for sometime so i grew up listening to Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Buddy Rich(yes i’m a drummer), Credence, Bloodrock etc etc. He never owned one Beatles record, well suffice to say i see why, some of there songs where just down right bad, and horribly written. Now when they went there separate ways i thought hmm ok not bad, especially John Lennon. I just don’t look at them as a band that needs GUITAR HERO, or ROCK BAND, there music just isnt that complex or fun. I tried it for about 5 minutes then was just bored out of my mind, now i’ll admit some of the cover songs bands have done over the years werent to bad, but its because they were a LOT better musicians than the Beatles. Ringo Starr actually much like Lars from Metallica can’t even do a drum roll, look it up, this is fact. The only 3 bands i really think should have a guitar hero after them are Black Sabbath, Slayer and Iron Maiden. I still probably wouldn’t play them that much since i actually do play real music, if it gets kids into playing real guitar or drumms or singing great, but i just dont see that happening. So basically this is just for Beatles Fans only that of which i’m not.
Btw. The Beatles never moved on stage, wow what a stage presences they had.
Also if you think Yellow Submarine or Back in the USSR are killer songs, you probably think Bob Dylan is the greatest vocalist ever.:)

Ugh…
45 short songs, not even the best of the Beatles catalog.. For full price… that should be your reason not to buy it. At least Metallica had long and difficult songs that were really fun to play. No challenges here. Only bonus is this game will have downloadable content.
Animations are not bad for the most part, though the Beatles look anything from Zombieish to plain creepy at times. And many of the dreamscapes look more like an overexagerated drug trip; distracting, really.
Gameplay is… exactly the same as Rock Band, no big surprise. Only change is vocal harmonies, which were not implemented well. They’re hard to get a group of people who aren’t experienced singers to do correctly, and you can’t even do them online unless all the vocalists are on one console. Not to mention the highway color scheme is obnoxious. Oh and drummers – no more fills. You just activate star power by hitting the cymb… err green pad. Kind of like Guitar Hero, except that you can still only do it at pre-determined points during the song.
Minimal appeal to anyone who isn’t a die-hard Beatles fan, that doesn’t mind playing a relatively easy game. If you want it, I suggest you rent it first. That’ll probably be all you need to get all enjoyment out of this game.
