The Beatles Rock Band (Wii)

Product Information

Made with the full backing of the surviving Beatles, and the families of Lennon and Harrison, this is no expansion pack but a full-bloodied standalone game filled with special features.

If you loved the surreal imagery of Yellow Submarine and the psychedelic stylings of The Magical Mystery Tour then clapping your kaleidoscope eyes around these will be like watching a whole new Beatles video!Any player to drop out can be "saved" if another player activates "Beatlemania" (referred to as "Overdrive" in other Rock Band titles), [5] which is collected by successfully completing specially marked phrases. as Rock Band was a game that celebrated the performance of music, simply portraying The Beatles performing in the Abbey Road studio was not enough, and the dreamscape sequences provided a way to surpass that.

The game includes 45 songs from 12 of The Beatles albums recorded during their 1963–1970 tenure with EMI Records. Play well and perform a special move to trigger Beatlemania and multiply your points, play poorly and you'll fail, having to start all over at the beginning (unless you turn on "No Fail" mode). This was a security measure to assure that The Beatles' music wouldn't be sampled by other artists in the event that the recordings were leaked.Controllers based on the Rickenbacker 325 and Gretsch Duo Jet were also created and sold separately.

According to Viacom CEO Philipe Dauman, one quarter of The Beatles: Rock Band inventory was sold during its first week of release, exceeding their expectations. John Drake stated that the developer had a responsibility to treat the Beatles' songs as "iconic", and keep its music separated from other songs. Centered on the popular English rock group the Beatles, The Beatles: Rock Band is the first band-centric game in the Rock Band series. Harmonix performed very little additional remixing upon receipt of these remasters; in some cases, three different guitar parts—lead, solo, and rhythm—were brought into a single cohesive guitar part, slightly raising the volume of the specific guitar track that was used in note tracking to make it easier for the player to follow in the game.

The game allows one to six players to simulate the performance of songs by the Beatles by providing the players with peripherals modelled after musical instruments (a guitar peripheral for lead guitar and bass gameplay, a drum peripheral, and a microphone). The graphics are impressive too, as long as we are talking about the main models; the rest is somewhat sloppy.
