    It's accomplished in its execution, but threatens to segregate the platform just as Harmonix seemed to be opening it up to all-comers. [Nov 2009, p.103]

The game includes 45 songs from their albums and includes DLC from Abbey Road, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, and Rubber Soul also including All You Need Is Love from the Magical Mystery Tour album. It starts where The Beatles originally started from The Cavern Club, to The Ed Sullivan Show where reputation started growing, To Shea Stadium to 55,000 screaming fans, To The Budoken Concert, Abbey Road and finally The Apple Corps Rooftop which was their final concert. The graphics are beautiful and the Dreamscapes in Abbey Road including my favorites such as Dear Prudence, Something, and I Am The Walrus. The game is fun and bringing the family over with the drums, bass, and Guitar. Also this game include three mics where three players take control and the lead singer has to do the job and and the back ups are to be timed but my opinion is wonderful. I am going to keep this game until I die.… Full Review »

Very fond memories of this game and trying to beat my high scores on drums. This is one of the games that is actually worth getting the dlc for. I love that you can buy the albums, Sgt peppers, Abbey Road and Rubber Soul. Also All You Need Is Love. I got all the dlc 7 years ago except for Rubber Soul and don’t regret it. It adds so many songs and more Beatles songs. The game is very aesthetically pleasing too and responsive controls. Fun game and to have parties with. Also trying to get gold stars on expert any instrument, my case drums, adds a challenge… Full Review »
