The Beatles:
One of the main gameplay changes with this iteration of Rock Band is the ability to sing harmonies. It’s a nice feature, as it expands the max players to six and adds another level of challenge for mastered vocalists. But as a whole, gameplay innovations take a back seat to atmosphere. Each venue keeps a unique Beatles feel, though the studio tracks really stand out. Each studio track has individually tailored backgrounds that compliment the songs. For example, during Octopus’ Garden, players travel beneath the sea for a unique and fun experience. Players also unlock Beatles images and other collectables as they progress - another nice touch.
My biggest concern was that one band would not hold my attention for a full game. However, the maturity and progression in The Beatles’ music makes it seem as if there are multiple bands in the game. Harmonix clearly put a large amount of time into the game, and it shows. While the game isn’t exactly revolutionary (So you say you want a revolution? -ED), it’s a labor of love for fans of The Beatles. Players interested in rhythm games and the Beatles can’t pass this by. However, those that don’t enjoy The Beatles should let it be.
