Well here’s the facts.

Awesome game, marvellous visuals, Instruments make you feel like the beatles, Great sound. very very British.

Why four stars? Not to challenging since songs come unlocked, so you get through it in a couple of hours in an easy/medium setting. You should get challenged to unlock real content, not just the pictures or trophies, but hten again that’s just me.

It’s got drums (no cymbals), guitar (5 button 2 sections) – (The bass is not included) and microphone with stand.

Easy to hookup. You’ll be running in about 10 minutes after unpacked. Free USB ports needed. Will play with any USB compatible mic.

Try the training first if your new to the thing. It will get you fit in no time.

45 songs unlocked – more content available fior download on the PS Store

A must have for party play

The Mechanics. You can have 3 singers simultaneuos action, bass, guitar and drums. You can either go onto quickplay, story mode or training. You can still go in an online play if you’re by yourself no one to play by your side. . .

In story mode you begin at the Cavern and go though the whole of the phases the beatles went Through till you end, well, that’s too much to say. . . But its pretty captivating.

It is pretty easy to get through the whole thing, but go onto hard of expert mode and you’ll have either a rewarding o frustrating experience. Should it be the second one, keep it up to ace it, if you make it in expert, you’ll feel just like a Beatle!

Don’t hesitate to purchase this one its a great addition to the rockband collection!

Being a Beatle Boomer without much musical education, I was excited to find I could play this game by just singing the all so familiar Beatle songs throughout the story mode (but my when my kids are visiting the instruments get plenty of play also). Even after being a Beatle fan for over 45 years, and traveling throughout England following the Beatles’ footsteps, I have learned new things about the world’s greatest band from the little tidbits offered after unlocking pictures. My only complaint would be not enough songs, but I understand they will be available for downloads eventually. Great job, Dhani and Friends!

We played a friend’s Rockband 2 game for the Wii, over a year ago, it was ok, but found some of the songs not as kid friendly. So, although they enjoyed playing, I just wasn’t crazy about the song selection. Well Beatles Rockband solved that problem. I wasn’t sure if the kids would enjoy it as much as I would, but if nothing else I’d have cool instruments for the future. Well, they loved it, especially my 9 year old daughter, who thought “beetles” were just gross/scary bugs. This has been a hit at sleep-overs, especially with the no-fail mode, since the game doesn’t stop in the middle and drop someone who isn’t as “good” as the others. We have the PS3 version, mainly because I felt the PS3 console is more durable than the XBOX 360. The Wii version was never a consideration since I knew the graphics and sound would be better on the other 2 systems. However, if I was buying it now, I’d purchase the 360 version. The main reason for the 360 over PS3, is that there are no USB adapters to plug into the console. The instruments will sync with the 360, no fuss. Sure they work fine on the PS3, but having 3 USB adapters with red blinking lights isn’t something I’m crazy about. Another benefit of the 360 over the PS3, downloadable content is available sooner (2 days for Abbey Road album), again not a big thing, but would have been nice to know up front when I was deciding on a version to buy. Overall, absolutely no complaints with the game. I highly recommend this to anyone, especially as a first Rock Band style game purchase.

If I could give this “game” zero stars I would.

It was missing parts that were supposed to be included.

I followed the directions to setup and I could not get instruments to be recognized.

It will not let me play, and gets stuck in a loop where it wants to connect to the Internet but cannot.

Following the directions in the “manual” does not help. I do not see the selections that are supposed to be there.

I am a major Beatles fan and this is a big disappointment.

This is BY FAR the worst video game experience I have had with any video game system.
