Beatles Rock Band Instruments Views

General Goods

You're either going to understand why The Beatles: Rock Band is such a big deal, or you're going to wonder why everyone is so worked up about another game centered around a single band. It's a valid question, and if you're not a fan of the Beatles you'll be able to comfortably sit this one out. But if you are a Beatles fan, then get ready for a great experience. There isn't any music here that's inspired by the Fab Four

That's a good question, and we have yet to spend any kind of significant time with the official Beatles instruments, but there are three of them and they each cost $99.99. That's $300 for the luxury of having plastic guitars shaped like the instruments the Beatles played. The full band set for the game is likewise $250, and that gets you the game, silvery drums with a Beatles logo to attach to the front, the Hofner bass made popular by Paul McCartney, a microphone, and a stand.

Yes, it's nice to have the whole aesthetic experience, but come on. These instruments don't have any special features that go along with the game; they just look nice. If you already have a full set of plastic instruments, they'll work fine. You can pick up an entire Rock Band 2 set with a guitar, drums, microphone, and the game for $100 or so if you find a sale, meaning you can get the same number of accessories, along with the extra game, if you buy that package and the Beatles software.

The Beatles: Rock Band is a 2009 music video game developed by Harmonix Music Systems, published by MTV Games, and distributed by Electronic Arts. It is the third major console release in the Rock Band music video game series, in which players can simulate the playing of rock music by using controllers shaped like musical instruments. The Beatles: Rock Band is the first band-centric game in the series, and it is centered on the popular British rock group The Beatles. The game features virtual portrayals of the four band members performing the songs throughout the band's history, including depictions of some of their famous live performances, as well as a number of dreamscape sequences for songs from the Abbey Road Studios recording sessions during the group's studio years. The game's soundtrack consists of 45 Beatles songs; additional songs and albums by The Beatles were made available for the game as downloadable content.
