Following the release of AC/DC Live: Rock Band, the next installment in the Rock Band series to concentrate on a particular band is titled The Beatles: Rock Band.
The game takes some of its gameplay elements from Rock Band 2, but it also has a redesigned career mode and the option to play a story mode that takes players through the different years of the Beatles’ careers. This mode includes specific songs and venues, such as The Cavern Club and the Beatles’ rooftop performance on top of Apple Corps’ studio. Ringo Starr is shown playing the drums on Back in the U.S.S.R. despite not appearing on the actual recording, and the studio versions of songs are used in the Live at the Budokan section. Even though the game attempts to capture the spirit of significant periods in the band’s history, some liberties have been taken in the presentation. The title adds the opportunity to have three independent vocal parts, where each singer gets to sing in a different harmony than the other singers. This is in addition to the now-classic guitar, bass, drums, and vocals sections.
There are 45 remastered Beatles recordings included in the game, and further albums will be published in the future. These albums will be exclusive to The Beatles: Rock Band and will be available for purchase as downloadable content (DLC). This marks the very first time that Apple Corps. It has permitted the Beatles’ music to be used in a video game.
Characters, the game’s overall appearance and feel, and even the sound effects have all been given a Beatles makeover, in contrast to the AC/DC game, which was designed to look exactly like the first version of Rock Band. Additionally, skinned instruments were made available. It is impossible to export the songs so that they may be played in Rock Band or Rock Band 2, another thing that goes against the AC/DC game.
