When the Beatles made a comeback through Rock Band last Wednesday after their last live performance 40 years ago, I remembered what George Harrison said in 1989 — “As far as I’m concerned, there won’t be a Beatles reunion as long as John Lennon remains dead.” Contrary to this statement, Beatles are back to sing along with you in Rock Band.
The much anticipated Beatles-themed Rock Band, along with a collection of re-mastered Beatles recordings, includes 45 Beatles tracks that gloriously showcase the relatively brief career of the most important rock band of all time.
The game is expected to bring generations together along with reviving the “rock and roll” music genre. USA Today reported last week that more and more families are coming in to purchase this game as it bridges the generation gap and exposes video gaming to a broader audience. New York Times wrote that no video game has ever been able to bring generations this close.
The game has been developed by MTV-owned Harmonix Music Systems. It features the cartoon version of five historical Beatles venues starting from inside the Cavern Club in Liverpool and ending on the rooftop of London’s Apple headquarters.
Besides, the rock band also includes the never-released audio clips from the recording session of the Beatles and the photographs and special features from the Beatles Christmas record and their rehearsal for the Ed Sullivan Show.
The video games fanatics are calling this the game of the year and the most refined music video game ever. So, what are you waiting for? Get your friends and get ready to strum, drum and sing along with the Fab Four, who are also seen in their recognized costumes in the game. But make sure you don’t miss the strings of notes while looking at the background video that has splendid black and white scenes mixed in with saturated Technicolor-style art and awe-inspiring facial expressions.
