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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Music Game to date..., September 9, 2009

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Xbox 360 The Beatles: Rock Band Limited Edition Premium Bundle (Video Game)

I played through the game this afternoon with 3 of my friends. It was great to play music we all knew from the Beatles. The fact that it is the Beatles should be enough of a selling point here. But for those that are not convinced; it has alot to offer. Granted the main part of the game can be beat in just a few hours, but the replay value is priceless. This rockband rendition offers a new challenge: the Three Part Harmony. So for the first time more than one singer can "blend" their voices at different pitches from differnet microphones to recreate all the true vocal dynamics. This game is a lot more fun than I had given it credit for. Ther cut scenes after every level (4-7 songs a level) is well worth watching. Even the loading screens have something to offer in that they contain rare audio from unpublished recording sessions of the Beatles talking between takes. There is something like 45 (I think) songs on the game. About that many ar supposed to be available to download. And starting in the next few weeks they will be releasing full albums to download and play ("Abbey Road", "Rubber Soul", and 'Sgt. Peppers" are three I have heard coming up) The visuals in the game are a bit more psychedelic than the other rockbands, which is cool.
I would highly reccomend this to anyone that appreciates music. ESPECIALLY to those how have never really taken to the Beatles. If anything will change your mind about their music this game is it. As my best friend said as we were playing Yellow Submarine: "This is surely going to introduce a new generation to the Beatles and hopefully inspire a new wave of musicians." :-) A dreamers wish maybe, but a good one none the less. Take care.

4.0 out of 5 stars It's like they made this game for me., September 29, 2009

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Xbox 360 The Beatles: Rock Band Limited Edition Premium Bundle (Video Game)

This is one of the best game purchases I've ever made. I had always wanted a Rock Band game, but I didn't have the space for the drum set (my favorite instrument). And then, the same time I move into a new house, they make a Rock Band game based on my favorite band of all time?! Fantastic.

Personal feelings aside, it's also just an incredibly well made game. The animations are gorgeous -- the opening cinematic literally gave me goosebumps. The game play is challenging, but scaleable so that it can be fun for a novice or an expert. The music is... well... it's Beatles.

The instruments that come with the set are beautiful, feel solid, are responsive, and overall just feel like quality. I want the Gretsch Duo-Jet too!!

Harmony is a nice addition to the game, but as yet I haven't found souls brave enough to try it with me.

The only quibble I have, which it appears others have as well, is that the content is a little light. I wish there were more songs, and I wish the story mode was a bit longer. That said, the story mode actually is longer than it appears... sure, I may have beat it in singing, but what about drums? Bass? Guitar? With harmony?

There's an extra layer of fun if you're truly a Beatles geek -- many subtle touches were clearly aimed right at us. But it's not necessary. Even my boyfriend's 6 year old daughter loves to play it.

I don't regret this purchase for a minute, and I don't think you will either.

5.0 out of 5 stars I suprised my boyfriend, September 11, 2009

This review is from: Xbox 360 The Beatles: Rock Band Limited Edition Premium Bundle (Video Game)

My boyfriend and I love the Beatles and so I decided to purchase this as a suprise for my boyfriend. We have never purchased any of the Rock Band equipment prior to this purchase and that was the only reason why I purchased this set.

I'm glad that we waited for the right set to come out that fits both of our needs and likes.

I'm not very coordinated but I am having a lot of fun playing the easy mode.

We haven't even had this set for 24 hours and we love it. What we love so far is that it's actually Beatles member voices singing the songs and you have to acheive 5 stars to get the pictures and the story of every picture. I noticed a video after finishing the first story level and it was the Beatles Christmas Message where all 4 Beatles members are talking and thanking there fans for a good year.

There are a wide variety of songs and we are very excited to purchase the album downloads when they come out. We are big Beatles fans and spending the extra on money on the extra downloads will be worth every penny from the joy we get from playing this game and hearing their music again . . . after so long (even if we're in our late 20's).
