WHAT? Grab your Hofner bass, put on your Beatles boots, and get ready to dive into a musical adventure with the most popular rock group of all time, The Beatles.

WHY? The Beatles Rock Band follows the same path as most of the other music games out there, but where this title stands out is the unique presentation this game offers.  Like some of the music games out there, this title doesn’t just feature some new songs and updated graphics.  Instead with this installment you get the full Beatles experience.  Each song has its own unique “dreamscape” that takes you deeper into the world of the The Beatles.  The addition of two more microphones to the game (allowing players to harmonize) brings even more users into the action.

WHO? It’s easy to think that younger kids will not get into this game because of the generation gap.  However, all that one needs to do is look at the success of the  The Beatles 1 album and you can see that all ages are still listening to the band.  The multiplayer aspect is perfect for video game programming and will also be great for family gaming.  The music, as Beatles songs always are, are wonderfully recreated for the video game audience.

(Note: I played the Wii version of this game for my review.  While basically all the same, the Wii version doesn’t feature quite as stunning visuals as the XBox 360 or Playstation 3 version.  However, users will most likely be so immersed in the music that they’ll hardly notice.)
